dcsam Posted January 18, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Sorry (fat fingers🤷🏻♀️). Should have been ‘double PAST’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted January 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yeah it amounts to not much....instead of 100, they give you 200 off...but when I cancelled and rebooked, I lost a ton of OBCs owed to me by Viking for past cruises. So you lose more than you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the length of the cruise and/or past cruiser status. Our regular 200 pp was upped to 400 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Well first off, you had to sail with Viking previously to make you a Past Guest. Could be either River or Ocean. This makes you a member of the Explorers Society or a Past Guest. When you book your second cruise, each person gets a $100 discount. So double Past Guest equals $200. When we booked our 3rd cruise there was a double past guest discount and we got $400 per person. We usually book one cruise at a time and take it. We don't have any OBC to lose or vouchers to use by X date. I think any discount matters and we welcome it.

Believe it’s $200 credit when you book within 1 year of last cruise and $100 when you book within 2 years of last cruise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted January 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Can confirm. Got an email offer from V last week, Flash sale, free air, Bev pkg, 1 cat upgrade, then got a quote from TA, and would receive $400pp discount also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthomas Posted January 18, 2022 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yes turning it over to a TA gives you a bit more..but these days I need to talk to Viking directly..if I turn it over to a TA, they will direct you to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squawkman Posted January 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 18, 2022 According to my Viking rep, if you sailed within the past 12 months, your PP discount of $200pp is doubled to $400pp. If you sailed more than 2 months ago, the normal $100pp is doubled to $200pp. Brand new Viking customers receive $200pp SBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about the current flash sales promo (FL22), I did a live chat with a Viking agent. Basically only sailings in spring 2022 are on sales, including Mediterranean, Adriatic, and even Alaska.

We don't have any OBC to lose or vouchers to use by X date. I think any discount matters and we welcome it. We usually book a second cruise before (or maybe onboard) our upcoming cruise. That way we can use the six month final payment date available when you already have a cruise booked. You have to request that at the time of booking, as it is not generally offered.

dcsam Posted January 19, 2022 Author #19 Share Posted January 19, 2022 We’d love to do Viking to Alaska, but did their rates just go up about $1500 pp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsam Posted January 19, 2022 Author #20 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I’m going to take back what I just posted about the increase in Alaska’s rates. Tonight it looks like they’re back to where they’ve been for quite some time. For a day or two, they were higher - not the case any longer.
