Yes, our spa reservations have returned but another person pointed out that now their comfort check in tab disappeared. Same here but I know I did check in already so hopefully that tab returns soon too. I'll remain calm unless they make our shore excursions disappear next. That was too traumatic of an experience so I don't want to see them disappear even for 1 minute 😳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I departed my flight from Sydney I was not too pleased that my hire car was not ready and waiting for me, until the guy on the desk pointed out my error with a wry smile and said I was not the first to make this mistake nor would I be the last! Then there was the business owner who had his secretary book flights for him and his wife to Miami for a meeting with a side trip to Naples for the wife. He couldn't figure out why his wife's ticket was so much more expensive than his. Turns out the secretary had booked her to Naples, Italy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the future forecast this morning for our July 10th cruise. Looking this far out is actually not very accurate for the actual weather but it is generally in the ballpark for temperatures. My guess is for our cruise the temperature should always be between 40 degrees and 60 degrees. The forecast showed a low during the period of our cruise of 43 degrees (in Isafjordur) and a high of 60 degrees (in Reykjavik) for the nine days we are in Iceland. Of course, the big unknown is the rain and wind chill factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VESSELFINDER:: "The vessel is en route to PORTSMOUTH,UK, sailing at a speed of 6.6 knots and expected to arrive there on Jun 18, 20:00." CRUISEMAPPER: Viking Venus...en route to PORTSMOUTH, UK. Thanks. Just signed into FleetMon, which I also use and it also shows UK. When researching MarineTraffic, the raw AIS data received shows Portsmouth UK, but the website creates a link to the US Port. The error is only applicable to Viking Venus, as Viking Sky and the other ships that docked in Portsmouth last year, all showed the correct destination. I also checked one of the other websites I used in the past and it has a similar error for Viking Venus, shows Portsmouth UK as the destination, but links to the US port.

anaco_angler Posted June 18, 2021 #1989 Share Posted June 18, 2021 What tab was Comfort Check-in under? I don't see it now but I saw it previously; just can't remember where. I thought since our cruise doesn't leave until July 13 that we still had time to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantaFe1 Posted June 18, 2021 #1991 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Just a heads up so we don’t have the confusion we did last week with United. We fly one week from today. Delta just sent us an email with a subject that read in bold: COVID test needed for travel. Then it sent us a link to the page that’s says it is NOT required for vaccinated pax going to Iceland. It even had the updated info that testing to the airport would not be required after July 1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you are charged if a no show but probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Viking: Vouchers and Shipboard Credits will be automatically applied to your purchases of excursions, beverage packages, and prepaid gratuities. Vouchers must be used before your journey begins. Unused Shipboard Credits will transfer to your shipboard account 7 days before your Journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it. In the past if you had traveled on VO before with a US passport they would scan your passport and hand you your boarding package including ID card (less than a minute). If not it was a passport scan + photo (some people said they scanned the passport photo instead of taking a picture) maybe 2 minutes. All the Comfort Check-In does is have you add a picture to your guest information. I am sure Viking will still scan your passport. I don't see much value of doing it. Same with the VeriFly since having Viking check your proof of vaccination takes seconds. Both process's can be frustrating to some. I did both and it is likely the Comfort Check -In may have been dropped since it would accept any picture such as your high school graduation pic and it would be rejected at check in. Just my opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfort Check In gone from any sailing we have booked. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
