Viking Shop (G&S) Invoice 01331 review: 18k gold egyptian cartouche

I boarded the MS Antares Viking River Cruiser on 8/31/23. During the cruise, I purchased an 18K Gold cartouche. The hotel manager's name was Alina Abdelaal. The merchant did not have prices on his jewelry. He was not ethical.

The only merchant (Viking Shop G& S) on board pulled a fast one when I purchased an 18K Gold cartouche with my first name, Valerie, written in hieroglyphics on one side and the other with Egyptian symbols.

Instead of giving me the large, thick cartouche, which was heavier in weight. He gave me one of lesser value. Based on my research, it was overpriced. I agreed to pay the USA $2100.00 and will accept that responsibility if I receive the correct one. When I questioned him about changing the cartouche, he responded, " I don't cheat.

I noticed that I was correct as I left the ship. I saw the one I agreed to pay in the window and on Patricia's neck in Jordan.

I did not report it to the hotel manager. I assume nothing would have happened because it would have been my word against his.
