Friends Don't Let Friends Do A Viking River Cruise So I am going to do something on LinkedIn that I have never done since joining the platform in the early 2010s. I am going to spend an entire post disparaging a vendor with FACTS so that others in my LinkedIn network will not unknowingly make the same mistakes that I made. My goal is to tell you things as an informed consumer that you should know before spending $15k - $20k on a 15-day river cruise with Viking. The fact that I am sitting in a Budapest hospital at this moment (on my birthday) dealing with a case of pneumonia that began and developed while on my cruise makes this post deeply personal. If I come off as being angry and/or pissed off, I absolutely am. FACTS for your consideration: 1) Viking does not put a single medically trained professional on its "luxury river cruises". (Nor do they sell cough drops.) If you encounter a medical problem, it is 100% YOUR problem. Interesting given that the average age of a Viking river cruise passenger is 75 to 85 years old. P.S. Apparently, when you reach 80 or so, the "filter" that tells you to cover your mouth instead of coughing in someone's face no longer functions. 2) Viking will modify the published itinerary for your trip and your shore excursions as it deems fit. If you buy a 15-day river cruise from Amsterdam and Budapest with 10 planned stops in between to see specific things (such as two days in Vienna), Viking will cut the stop in Vienna down to a half day or one full day with no explanation or compensation. In fact, not even an apology. 3) Viking is a private company based in Woodland Hills, California. Their "Customer Relations Dept." located in Cali is the only group in the company that is "authorized" to address customer issues experienced on board. "Customer Relations" will not respond to emails / chats / calls from passengers until AFTER the cruise is complete and at a time of Viking's choosing. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE employed by Viking on the ship (including its Captain, its Hotel Services Director or the Executive Chef) CAN DO ANYTHING to address passenger concerns outside of "policy and protocol" as directed by Viking HQ. FACT! 4) When I left the cruise ship this morning in Budapest for my 7:25A flight back home to the States, I could not breathe. I literally got out of breath walking from the Viking Egdir ship to the tour bus transport so I decided that I would stay in Budapest and seek medical attention for my safety and for the well-being of my fellow passengers on the flights from Budapest --> London --> Dallas-Ft. Worth. When I spoke with Viking / American late in the evening, I was informed that because I changed my flight itinerary at the last minute, there would be $1,300 in additional flight charges. (Same flights / times / class of service / different days = 60% increase in fare). I could go on with 20+ more specific examples of 2-star or below service, but I will stop here. #VikingSucks #FAFO

Over the last several weeks, many friends and colleagues have reached out about my tenure at Continental, why I’ve stayed for so long and would I suggest Continental as a great place to work. I didn’t think much of the question, “Why have you chosen to stick around?”, because anything over a year seems to be uncommon these days and I tend to go for the distance; but in retrospect, 10 years is almost 1/3 of my lifetime. I’ve been devoted to Continental for (almost) a decade. That timeline is thought provoking and motivating, because those 10 years are a drop in the bucket compared to others on my team, let alone within the global Continental network. Oh, and that network just happens to be full of colleagues who have become friends and leaders who support your professional development journey. Sounds like a great place to work, right? 😎 I challenge and encourage you, whether looking for a change, or just looking at what’s out there make sure to check us out, too. There are many opportunities on the horizon and I hope truly to see you soon! Our redesigned career page: https://lnkd.in/g8KhJ8tX #goingforgrowth #professionaldevelopment #newyearnewcareer
