Viking star January 16-31 2024 Puerto Rico to Manaus

[4Mosby]

So many questions being a first time Viking cruiser.  Viking hotel in Puerto Rico sold out. Any suggestions?  What excursions are noteworthy?  Viking hotel sold out in Manaus, however, I did book a room.  Booked our flights leave at 3:15 am from Manaus. Viking will not give us transfers since we booked directly. Any suggestions on private transfer?  TIA

Welcome to Cruise Critic and to Viking --

 

Let me give you a quick orientation to CC. Right now you are posting in the Viking Forum. This is the place to ask questions about your itinerary and about Viking in general. There is also a Ports of Call forum that is organized around the ports and therefore has an even bigger audience; among other things it is good place to ask about a transfer company in Manaus (bigger audience, more chance of finding someone who has been there).

 

Then there are the Roll Calls. They are member started and member driven and they are the place to meet and chat with folks who will be sailing with you.

 

There is already a roll call for your sailing. BTW, you are on the Viking Sea not Star. A couple of people are already chatting there.

FOR VIKING NEWBIES: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2416372-tips-for-new-viking-ocean-cruisers/page/45/ Start with post #1115.  Anything earlier is stale information and will just confuse things. Keep reading until things start repeating. Take notes; there will be a quiz.

 

TRANSFERS: If you have booked your own air and if you are departing from the ship to a flight, Viking normally will sell you transfers to the airport.
