SailorPaulH Posted April 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2022 We fly out June 30 for cruise that starts July 6, so 85 days as of today (April 6). We booked in April 2019 for July 2021 and it was canceled by VOC in April 2021. We rescheduled for this July and used the voucher for some upgrades. We are excited for our first VOC (previously did VRCs) - actually our first ever ocean cruise! Fairly experienced traveler, but novice ocean cruiser - I have learned a lot on these VOC boards - thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted April 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2022 TOO LONG!!!!!! The next one is a re-booking of one I was supposed to do this past February and something that has been on my bucket list since childhood: Nile River -- Pyramids and Abu Simbel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchly Posted April 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Five months. Too long. British Isles Explorer in September, which is what we spent our voucher on when Israel was a bust last January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lackcreativity Posted April 7, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Thirty two hours. Waiting is the hardest part! Waiting for our negative test results to pop into our phones seems endless. And it's only been fourteen hours! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duquephart Posted April 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I suppose it depends. Ideally we would like to see: --- No pre-cruise test requirement --- No mask on flights --- No mask aboard ship --- No daily testing What are the chances? Is there such a thing as being overly desperate to cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Me Travel! Posted April 7, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I have a feeling that IF TSA drops mask mandates on the 18th, the US will also stop the entry tests…I think the US is slightly behind the majority of other countries. I’m leaving on 4/24, so tomorrow (4/8), I’m going to make my pre-travel test appointment at CVS…if on Monday (4/18), that rule is dropped and Viking also drops the requirement, I will cancel my appointment.

Heidi13 Posted April 7, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 7, 2022 7 months, 8 days and 10 hrs before we arrive at YVR for flights to UK, to spend a couple of weeks. Dec 6th, flights to Madrid for the 2-day extension, prior to the Trans-Atlantic, followed by a couple of weeks at home before re-boarding Neptune in San Pedro on 8th Jan, for the WC & UK/Scandinavia.

duquephart Posted April 7, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Chat rep. at MVJ confirms within 72 hours of first Viking activity. In other words we could be tested on the 17th or 18th in my example above even though we do not board until the 22nd. I wonder if all reps are on the same page in this regard.

A great award winning beer brewed at Kloster Weltenburg, the Abbey at Weltenburg in the Danube Gorge near Kelheim. The oldest monastary brewery on the planet. They've been brewing their Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel for over a thousand years. Delicious! Order a dunkelbier at the Rathaus in Regensburg and that's what you'll get. Their doppelbock is world class. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like you should park at our place (assuming flying in and out of LAX) and we drive your car to the airport and it would be waiting for you on your return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
