We did it for our first VL med this Oct. We wanted to go back to the thermal suite and another $100 bar tab sure won't be wasted. The rest can be for fun. Deep Blue is a big plus too.

Nighty etc. Hope you got the safe open.

Doing the "laundry" is fine and just a part of moving on Sid. We are all with you. Thanks for being so honest, and so damn good at using words.

The Salt Dorade is our favorite Virgin taste for sure and our first at The Wake when we get back on board. I wonder how many times we will repeat it over three weeks?

You are just getting your liver training started for the week Sid. We anticipate an extensive recount on here of tequila derivatives. We have to wait until October for Valiant Lady, but we can start training now too.

DBE finally shows up on our October B2B on Valiant Lady; Ir Med and TA. Yay! (Can we just skip summer and start packing?)

It still just spins or reloads the "Check If" page on another browser. Inaccessible for almost a week. The "positive spin" is that I haven't spent any unnecessary money on MoveUP!

Thanks OrcaGirl. So, no official requests for masking onboard or excessive coughing on your Solstice cruise? We don't mind the masks in between food and drink for that possible extra margin these days. We would just be interested in any observations you might have. Hope your reintegration with the workday reality isn't too severe! Repeat cruises if so. Wikoffclan, we booked the post 12/3 (12/11) Beachfront Airport transfer TIMEKILLER excursion too. They better not cut our "Pretty Woman" shopping moments on Rodeo Drive!

We are doing Blue Chips for the Nov 26th and Dec 3rd sailings in Aqua. Crossing the date line, equator and the old Elite cocktail hours with new friends aboard the Solstice on a transpacific from Sydney a few years ago are some favorite cruise memories. Your updates on the Solstice and pics now are really appreciated by so many that will soon follow you. Our only pos Covid test was on our July cruise, so we are also interested in your observations onboard in that respect too. Thanks for taking the extra time out of your fun to include us. Mike and Ron

The healthier options and portion size, or that perception 🙂 in Blu and being able to go to the Persian Garden anytime for the warm tile loungers or the front relaxation room are worth it to us. The yoga mat in the cabin, while a nice thought, just ain't gonna happen for us! LOL

This afternoon we booked Nov 26, 7 night with an A1 Sunset Veranda and Dec 3, 8 night A1 with the bigger angled balcony. I specifically asked the lady for any perks she could add under the promotion. She apologized that none were available but offered to waive the AQUA upgrade charges. That saved us $300. She only charged us $579 taxes/charges for the 15 night B2B. I thanked her to the point of it being funny for both of us. We'll gladly pay grats and drinks beyond the 2 hour Elite ones. This is cheaper than buying groceries for two weeks!

Yes Sid, B2Bs are the best! We are set to board Scarlet Lady June 29th and have been anticipating and enjoying your angle pics, food porn and posts daily. The vibes of the ship, crew and sailors as well as your port wanderings are palpable. With us being unable to taste all the yummy items at the restaurants on one short cruise, do you mind putting together a list of your most tastebud tingling discoveries from your multiple Virgin Voyages!? After you get home and decompress with your own Don Julio Anejo therapy, of course! (and laundry!) We all love a great filet, but don't want to just repeat a standard when there are so many unusual creations, like the Dorade at The Wake that we are unlikely to ever see again. What the heck, Don may even convince you write a lookback of the most notable hits and misses. We can only guess being "One of the Most Interesting" sailors aboard got you the private invite last night. Well done Sid.
