KaySuth Posted January 11, 2023 #201 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hey Aussies and Kiwis, I spoke to Casper (Restaurant Manager) this morning and - subject to no other prior bookings - we can have a morning tea at 10.0am on 26 January to celebrate Australia Day. He was impressed that we had brought our own biscuits and lollies. I gave him a Anzac biscuit recipe (and some Golden Syrup) and he will be very happy to have a batch made up for us. AND, he was already familiar with Lamingtons, has a recipe, and will have a batrch made up for us. He understood what I meant when I asked him to soak the squares in the chocolate sauce for a little longer 😆 Subject to approval from higher authorities, he will put a notice re the morning tea in the Viking Daily. I will put this notice in the original CC rollcall too. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the first rule of world cruising is to expect the unexpected. Sometimes the losses are very great. We lost Easter Island, we will never have a chance to go back. Kauai, you will be able to visit again fairly easily if it is important to you. We lost Morocco, but added Portsmouth, and we got to go to Stonehenge, where my husband had never been. If you sign on to a five month trip, time and tides will change. It’s not that hard to make lemonade out of these lemons, in my humble opinion. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to weather, we are using Luggage Forward and they want to pick up our bags on Feb. 2 for a Feb.17 sailing. I can’t even get a 14 day weather report. Oh, well, layers!! Have fun in London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the world cruise missed Hawaii and the entire Asia/southeast Asia portion (including Australia and New Zealand) portions due to Covid restrictions in many of the countries. They ended up with a completely different itinerary than originally expected and, if you read the blogs, still managed to have a spectacular trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaySuth Posted January 12, 2023 #217 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi Deb and Munro, I'm amazed that we are all on board and haven't connected yet. I sent you an email re the World Cruise Album.

Last year, we lost Alhambra, Morocco, Senegal, 2 stops in Brazil, 2 stops in Argentina and Falklands (a given). We did make it to 2 new places but it doesn’t mean that I can’t be disappointed in the places we missed. I have have been to both islands and I prefer Kauai over Oahu, THAT is my disappointment. Lord knows I know how to make lemonade, or limoncello out of lemons. Edited January 12, 2023 by Mich3554 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Deb & Munro boarded in Istanbul, Deb sent it back to me for the final additions/changes and distribution. The final copy was sent out, to everyone that contributed, in early December. I have deleted the file, so no longer have access. Therefore, unfortunately I am no longer to make any additions or changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising denise Posted January 12, 2023 #222 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hello to all on this year's WC: Can you tell us 23/24 ppl at what point in the year did Viking post the shore excursions in the calendar format (under My Viking Journey)? I don't mean when could you book them, but we're hoping it is enough in advance of the booking window that we can spend time reviewing well before we actually go to book them. I have a PDF copy of this year's but it's a bit hard in list format, the calendar format is so much easier to figure out if you can do 2 in a day, etc. We've also been looking through the excursions showing up on the World Cruise website (for potential travelers) but those don't show prices, excursion #s, or times so can't be used in case you wanted to book two in a day. Thanks for any help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
