aussie1944 Posted June 12, 2021 #1201 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We are also having to cancel our July 20th sailing on Orion. I had to have a somewhat emergency surgery on June 9th. Dr has forbid flying and the cruise, so now the stress of dealing with the insurance company and getting reimbursed the money that is forfeited to Viking. At least no more worries about jumping through hoops for the PCR test and all of the Health authorizations, etc. Hope you all have a wonderful trip and cruise. So sorry we will be missing this one.

If you plan on having cell service while in Bermuda...then either one would of course would work. The ship's phone number is included in our documents. IMO... if you wanted to ensure a message got to you...the "best" option might be the ship's number. FWIW...I don't know where the ship goes on it's two sea days... but if it's outside the range of cellular service then you won't receive any cellular service. We'll probably use the ship's number. WHen does one get their final documents? We got our luggage tags etc, but it just had a card with general info. Are those the ones that are now being emailed a week or so prior to departure?

We were advised that the e-docs would be sent out 14 days prior to the cruise and I just received my e-docs ( this is all that they are doing at the moment) this morning. So, right on time 14 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Azulann Posted June 12, 2021 #1207 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Speaking of other media sites. I saw on Viking FB today a wonderful Welcome from the crew of Viking Orion. But I have no idea how to transfer a FB post to this thread. It warmed my heart, all were saying see you in four day!!! Maybe some one can post the short video here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gailellen12 Posted June 12, 2021 #1208 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hi all. I am scheduled on Viking Orion Bermuda for August 3. I am traveling as a solo and am not all that familiar with technology as it will relate to the requirements for this trip. I would greatly appreciate it if someone on any of the other dates could take a quick few minutes to jot down what you need and then what you do with it. My support team for tech. (My family) will be away at that time. Thanks again from this solo traveling senior 👵🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRGACRUZR Posted June 13, 2021 #1219 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Today is the 13th and the gov.bm website still says a valid negative PCR test within "5" days. I hope future cruises don't have to deal with the ambiguity of information that we do on the June 15th cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was that? Posted June 13, 2021 #1222 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) I received the following reply from the Bermuda Corona Virus Hotline today, 13 June, at 3:07 pm (PDT): ”The reduction in testing time for pre-arrival tests has not come into effect yet. We are expecting this to be announced later this week. Please check local media and www.gov.bm for the updates as they will be made public and the website will reflect the changes.” My question was related to where Bermuda has made the information available that defines how many days in advance we can get our PCR tests, and when will the requirement change?

Xcelsior Posted June 14, 2021 #1223 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Does anyone know why I can’t seem to be able to book one of these cruises? Is it not open to Canadian citizens? I called Viking and the agent couldn’t even get me pricing on the phone either….. she could not explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
