  1. Yes, Posh is part of Epic. I think it's supposed to be adult only too.
  2. I'm on the Prima right now, and think it's the best Haven.
  3. I hear that. I like the Prima so far, but looking at Virgin for next sailing for similar reasons.
  4. Hah yeah... Definitely NOT an every day type of place, it's a splurge, and probably only worth it if you appreciate that weird, eclectic, food / experiment that those types of places bring. But the cool part about Reykjavik is even though it's tiny, it really is like NYC as far as food goes. Expensive, but you can pretty much get everything and any level you want. We did hot dogs, cheap burgers, Ramen, etc while we were there. All really good.
  5. I walked up that way earlier, already crowded but pretty spot. Really love the look of the ship, but it does feel a lot smaller then the Breakaway-plus class.
  6. Alcohol is the most expensive part, the government has a monopoly on supply. Food varies. The famous hot dogs run about $5 and it goes up from there. I had the best meal of my life last night at Ox, which is Michelin Starred, and that ran about $450 per person without wine. So you can do the entire gamut (and we did while we were there lol)
  7. For what it's worth, I much preferred our South Coast tour with superjeep over the Golden Circle tour. The ice cave in Katla was awesome.
  8. Hello from down laugavegur. We've done a Reykjavik tour, the golden circle, and south coast so far, lava tunnel and Ox restaurant today! Have fun on your golden circle day.
  9. I'm embarking in a day and a half and it's showing me a $315 balance due from a cancelled port. Website definitely buggy lol
  10. As a stockholder, I think people adding "as a stockholder" is funny.
  11. Booking two one-way fares is not an issue if it's different travel days (ex: outbound and return). Two different carriers on the same portion of the journey does carry some risks and inconveniences. You will need to collect luggage and recheck at the ticket counter, then go back through security. In addition, you are not covered on any delays by the first airline. The second airline only has the obligation for your second flight. You'd fall under however their no-show policy is it you missed it. For both of those reasons, I've only ever done it when I've had a significant layover, like an overnight, but usually avoid.
  12. That sounds like basic economy on AA - be careful booking those on any airline. Normal AA fares are similar to the rest of the industry (no change fees, pay the difference, get a credit back if drops).
  13. Yeah I think the only place they for sure have it right now is Le Bistro but we got lucky at Ocean Blue
  14. I haven't flown from NYC but we took it direct from Austin a month ago for our Alaskan cruise and it was great
  15. Hey y'all, I'm excited to embark on my first Virgin sailing in April. Wanted to share an experience with you. I saw online that I could get transfers to and from the port. Reached out to sailor services and... Had the horrible customer service that everyone here is talking about. I'm lucky enough to be sailing in a MRS suite, and asked them how to setup the included ride I found online. They acted like they didn't know what I was talking about and emailed me info about taxis in San Juan. In the meantime, I also found out Virgin has awesome rates on hotels and found out about the red glove email from here. I reached out to enquire on the red glove email, and got three emails back, full of everything I needed to know, and a phone call welcoming me to Virgin. Not sure if anyone from Virgin reads this, but if so - Kurt is awesome. They even found an error in my wife's birthday and proactively fixed my booking, and realized it was my birthday sailing and implied they setup a surprise during the trip. My reason for posting this is to say - man, if they can deliver that level on the red glove, why can't they get normal customer service at least at a decent level? The experience I had was so different it's crazy. While I love and appreciate the red glove, it shouldn't be that bad it an experience on the regular line! The regular support should know how the answers to basic questions too!
  16. I'm doing a dinner at North restaurant. It's by the same Michelin Starred chef that did Dill in Reykjavik and looks awesome. He just opened it not too long ago.
  17. Try whistle pig in an old fashioned. The rye balances out the sweetness wonderfully.
  18. Man you are having the worst luck @ontheweb! I checked in yesterday and was able to download e-docs today for mine.
  19. I think a likely mistake is different from fraud.
  20. It's hard to say with how much the comedians rotate. They're for the most part free to perform how they want to in those 18+ shows (I've seen some tame ones and some more dirty ones)
  21. Seattle has been having issues with the port, and disembarkation is sometimes delayed. That being said, we got delayed a few weeks ago, had pre-booked a car, and still got to the airport with enough time to drop a bag and eat before our 11:35 AM flight.
  22. Sadly the only place I know of with a charcuterie board is on the escape, but like it was said above I've had my butler bring me boards!
  23. My family (incl some 70 year olds) and I got covid on the Encore a few weeks ago. My first time having it. At this point, I feel like it's pretty endemic and thankfully not as big of a deal according to our Dr's. I kinda feel like we're just getting to the new normal.
  24. Dang! I saw some videos of Diplo and Major Lazer playing, and some people complaining they hated "the EDM", and was hoping they were continuing to play it 😂
