Day 8
Placed in our cabin while we had dinner on Sunday was a personalised disembarkation timing sheet, plus the Viking Daily which had everyone's disembarkation details and an Invoice Summary.
As on-board gratuities and the drinks package were included in our booking, we had zero to pay.
Cases were to be left outside cabins by 07:00 with their colour coded tags and cabins vacated by 08:00. Our coach for Luxembourg airport was scheduled to leave at 08:45, so we had time for a leisurely breakfast.
The majority of passengers were taking the post-extension to Paris, an all day coach journey with a break at Luxembourg's American War Cemetery and lunch at Reims with a walking tour. They left in four coaches at 08:15 and 08:30.

Our coach took 35 minutes to reach the airport, and would have taken less if the driver hadn't mistakenly tried to enter an underground car-park with a too low roof from which he had to reverse against incoming cars.

But check-in for our 11:55 flight didn't open until two hours before so we had to wait. Once checked in we used the lounge. Our plane left on time.
My specially requested Asian Vegetarian meal was, our cheerful steward told me, exactly the same as the standard vegetarian dish on offer. And it was rather tasty, especially when accompanied by several glasses of Castelnau Champagne.
Our driver was delayed in a vast jam on the M25, but he arrived after a short delay and got us swiftly home. Dan & Krisie stayed the night with us before setting off on the long drive back to North Wales.
