Itinerary

  Less than a month now until embarkation. We have both almost finished practice-packing for our Luggage Forwarding. Viking is kind enough to ship one large  suitcase each directly from our home to our stateroom! So, for those of you who wish to follow along on our great adventure, here is our itinerary as of the moment - on a trip such as this, of course, everything is subject to change at a moment's notice! Our original itinerary had us going through the Suez Canal and around the Middle East - but that changed with the start of the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Now, we are going around Africa instead.     World Cruise Itinerary   DATE DESCRIPTION EXCURSION   18-Dec-24 Wed Depart The Villages   19-Dec-24 Thu Embark Viking Sky   20-Dec-24 Fri ...

Portugal

  Algarve, Portugal April 28, 2025 We were very much looking forward to our visit to Algarve where we were to explore the Benagil Cave by boat but the ship needed to anchor and tender guests to the pier.   Rain and high winds were coming making the tender operations unsafe with high waves!   So, the decision was made to continue to Porto, Portugal. Happily, this gave us another “sea day,” and Team Baggo was back on. And the blue team was victorious yet again! That evening, our favorite cocktail waitress, Kathleen, who is from the Philippines, made Sandy’s favorite after-dinner drink – Irish Coffee – BUT she makes it a double with Cappuccino and it is Spectacular!!!!  Kathleen is now on her holiday at home before her new contract begins.  And, of course, there’s Chris – who mans the bar in the Atrium! If he sees either one of us coming, he automatically pours a double Gray Goose on the rocks and a cranberry and tonic, and has them ready for us!! Porto, Portugal...

Embarkation

 Well, it's here at last. After counting down for over 435 days, we finally arrive in Ft Lauderdale and board our new home for the next 138 days! Here is our stateroom (before the luggage arrives).  Our travelling companions are Joe Buckovic and Julie Wheeler, neighbors from The Villages. The ship is beautifully decorated for Christmas already. This is a huge gingerbread house and display in the main atrium. Came back to our stateroom after dinner to find a wonderful surprise from Viking, a nice chocolate cake and a bottle of champagne for Sandy's birthday. All in all, a wonderful start to what promises to be a magnificent experience. We look forward to sharing it with you. Now enroute to Cozumel, Mexico for our first port call. Check back for more tomorrow!
