If Viking Legend is being built, and not sailing until Jul 5th...that cannot be Legend in the photo??? Is she sailing before Jul 5th? Doesn't say that on the website...unless they are sold out for those dates.

I doubt that is actually the Legend either... probably just another Viking ship in Legend's clothing! LOL

Pete, I don't know if it's my browser or what, but I can't see anything in your post about Linz except your text and signature....

Must be your browser. I'm using IE, and it works on both my computers. It's a youtube video on the concentration camp.

River Cruisers - we're finally getting things ready! Stay tuned for your booking info and updates regarding previous deposits/upgrades paid. No one will have to pay a dime more than they already paid for upgrades under the bookings made with Lona Lee. I apologize for the delay but, I think most of you are aware of the situation at hand and why it has taken so long. So let me just say thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, do we want to arrange for another chat after all bookings are made? Let me know either by posting in here or by emailing.
And again a big thank you to Ric for taking over this group!

Hey Ric, I just heard that the Viking launch has been delayed and they are moving the folks on the early sailings to later ones. Will this possibly fill up our ship? ? Do we have cabins set aside to ensure they are available??

Looking at the Viking website for the Legend, July 5 from Amsterdam is now the first sailing listed for the Legend and we are the first sailing from Budapest... so either all the earlier sailings are sold out and no longer listed, or WE are the first northbound sailing!!!!
The spring sale with the discounted prices (also meaning discounted upgrade prices) expire on 3-31-09...

I did notice that...just thought those first sailings were sold already...so they didn't list them. IDK.

Hey guys....looks like Ric has "disappeared" ! He hasn't been posting in a while. I figured out why...he has lost 30lbs with spark people and you cant see him because of all the weight loss!
