    About to take our first river cruise with Viking. However, we have taken at least 30+ cruises with various ocean cruise lines. An essential is to pack a First Aid Kit. Not just various size bandaids, but also cold medication, antibiotic ointment, Tylenol, Ibuoprofen, Immodium, and Meclizine…et al. And I carry the indivual packets of Wet Wipes. They too, help to remove stains in a hurry or at least prevent them from "setting".

    We are going on an AMA river cruise and they will not allow curling irons or straightening irons due to them being a fire hazard. They do have some to loan out but not sure how many.

    Tip for travel laundry. Bring a 2 or 2 1/2 gallon ziplock bag. Use the provided shampoo to do sink laundry. I also bring several foldable hangers to hang up washed shirts. Our river cruise on Emerald had a handy clothes line in the shower.

    WRT the shampoo bar you use, we use 100 Senses body bar ….for both body and hair. Hubby just like a bar of “soap” for his body….and I use it too (instead of body wash in the bathrooms) for the “stinky bits”. We also use it as shampoo…..doesn’t dry your hair out. It also has a waterproof zipper case. We get a new bar every 3 months, so take partial ones on travel, and just leave in the bathrooms after the trip is over.

    Cough and cold medicine! On a river cruise now and many people are sick with colds or who knows what. Protect yourself from catching something from someone else.

    Adapters are extremely important. I was on a flight that was diverted due to a fire on American Airlines and we had to land somewhere in Canada. But because American didn’t have a flight there we had to wait in a 100x 100 area for 36 hours (yes it sucked). The most popular person was the kid with the $10 Walgreens adapter.

    Be the boy!! I travel now with adapters in every luggage piece i have.

    I’m so sorry to hear about your Danube River cruise!
    We just returned from a Viking Danube cruise this week. We were fortunate to have had 3 days in Budapest before we boarded because we would have missed! Bratislava was was beautiful! But every stop on the river had evidence of the flooding; lots of debris floating down.
    Viking was very accommodating.

    I totally think it’s worth it to spend the hundred dollars.
    Being able to just have a carry-on suitcase is so worth it ,not to be lugging a larger suitcase around.
    Plus when you are doing extra side trips you need to have clean clothes.
    My friend was on your same cruise & did not think Viking was very accommodating with the change in plans. It could not have been a shock to them that the river would be closed.
    Thoughts??
    Love your channel. I have learned so many great tips. 🙂 🙂
