We got off the Star the day you got on, so this is a wonderful way to trick our minds into thinking we're still onboard and enjoying this lovely ship.

MikeyB Posted January 12, 2022 #307 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Your blog is the best! On three of my six Ocean cruises, Mara was on-board. She was recently promoted to manager. A very sweet and caring person. She truly brighten my cruising experience. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred321 Posted January 12, 2022 #308 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Thanks for taking the time to do this. We have done 4 world cruises but have booked our first one on Viking for 2023-2024. Really nice to get a sense of how a different line operates before we get on. We always assume on a four month voyage that the itinerary will be modified but in the time of covid yours is a real doozy. Stay well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it still is, but he was the best CD we ever had. We were on the segment just before the World Cruise started and Aaron was CD. He told us that he was contracted for the world cruise so he should be continuing. This is the second time we have been on Viking with Aaron as CD and he is outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM0115 Posted January 14, 2022 Author #315 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Live update from the Star. Yesterday we received our World Cruise jackets and caps. The jackets are very different from the windbreaker that we were told we would receive. This one is lined and warmer which I guess is good since we are going to much colder places. We have many lecturers on the ship. Funnily, at least one or two specialize in the South Pacific which we are not going to. But I think we will get some great enrichment lectures while on board. The vibe has changed dramatically from the first two weeks which really was not a world cruise vide at all and just really the Panama Holiday cruise, but it is really nice on board now. We are making our way down to Cabo at a relaxed 10 or 11 knots. They have extra time to get there so no reason to rush! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone does, don't let them remove you from your stateroom to quarantine on land. Let them carry you out under armed guard kicking and screaming if they try. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKTV32162 Posted January 14, 2022 #318 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Hi all - Arlona accidentally left her 30-ounce black Yeti cup with a purple handle and black steel straw in the Star Theater after completing her Chilean mobility pass. She went back and it was gone. Nobody there, at the nearby bar, nor lost & found had it. If anyone finds it, please give us a buzz in 5090. Thanks!

JM0115 Posted January 14, 2022 Author #319 Share Posted January 14, 2022 We are not quite in the tropics, but lunch today was BBQ with Tropical Fruit. They certainly do an amazing spread on board! The fruit was amazing as was the BBQ jerk chicken thighs, chorizo, and lamb koftas. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted January 15, 2022 #320 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Oh I see mango and papaya! Some of my favorite fruits, but I live in the Cold North in MN. Thanks for the beautiful picture. Keep them coming. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my, I’d be in my element here 🙂 Thanks everyone for all your postings, here or on your blogs. I really appreciate them as I dream of doing a WC when we retire (DH knows my plans!) I only started reading the Viking blogs this year, as it is the only ship seeming to sail on a WC, and I was intrigued as to how it would work. Little did I know how different Viking appear. The blogs (and now having fully read a couple from 2019 (Mystery Cruise) too) really mean Viking has suddenly come from nowhere to my top choice for future cruises, as I’m starting to tire of busy mass lines and their ‘cost savings’. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
