    Great video!! Which room did you choose? We are traveling to chania in October. I haven't booked anything yet. I'm wondering if it is best to book now In july August or wait closer to october to book. Wondering if pricing will go down if i wait to book closer to the date perhaps in September like you did. Please advise. Thank you!

    The only criticism I have of your videos Rona, is they are much too short! I live in Edinburgh but love to visit London, Hampton Court Palace is a favourite ❤ It's a shame it was so cloudy but beautiful roses always bring colour and joy to such days It's also good to see a few places I don't usually visit, I've added a few to my list from your previous videos- Thank you ❤

    I love green , woody and/or citrus scents. My current favourite is Diptyque Philosykos (scent of fig trees) which is replacing my Jo Malone 'BlackBerry and Bay' as we move into Spring. For hot weather days I love Jo Malone 'Grapefruit ' For many years my signature scent was the original Cristalle by Chanel which was discontinued😢 I then wore Liz Earle No.1 botanical scent for 15 years which I still like although it is slightly different now. Angel reminds me of Christmas as does Chanel Coco Mademoiselle 😊

    Viking Ocean cruises are my favorite, and I've cruised on more than 35 cruises, including top-rank luxury cruise lines. I love the food, decor, service, excursions, and the absence of casinos, children, and those dreaded art auctions. It's very much a 'thinking person's" cruise. Their informative lectures and presentations are top-notch. And having a ship historian and a Norse museum on board is a real plus. The next cruise is in December to Hawaii. Very excited to spend holiday on-board Viking.

    I once spent an afternoon on Samson - I was the only one there - and it was an experience like nothing I've ever had either before or since. I found a niche in the rocks at the southern end and all the stress of my life slowly faded away. I keep thinking about returning there - it made such a powerful impression on me.

    Hello. Thank you very much for watching my video. You may find the answer here on the Viking website - www.vikingcruises.co.uk/oceans/frequently-asked-questions.html. Or alternatively, if you'd like to contact them direct, please call 0800 298 97 00. Best wishes, Rona

    @robertfalloon8 ай бұрын

    The answer is yes, you would have to pay. If you are a reasonably big drinker you could purchase a drinks package which might work out cheaper but my wife and I found just buying the odd drink more cost effective (drinks are relatively cheap on Viking).

  • @erics607
    @erics6078 ай бұрын

    There are 2 routes you can go with alcoholic beverages. You can get the Silver Spirits package if you want to try the more premium alcohols, or if you're a big drinker. I believe they raised their price to $25 a day per person. A 15 day cruise, you would end up spending $750 as both people in the room have to purchase it. If you don't want to go this route you can purchase drinks ala carte. Your average drink on a Viking cruise is around $9 which is quite cheap compared to other cruise lines.

    The beauty of Viking, unless you are going to book a suite, you can book the cheapest cabin level, have access to a balcony and all of the specialty dining and all options. You have later priority for booking excursions and dining reservations but it is not an issue on most cruises. I love Viking.
