Bid upgrade accepted, sailing as a Mega Rock Star next week.
scaught replied to CineGraphic's topic in Virgin Voyages
Thanks. I still have the option to modify/update so I'm guessing it hasn't been processed yet. Less than a week until we sail. -

How soon before your cruise did you get the notification? We have a bid out for our upcoming cruise. Do you always get rejection emails? -
Horizon / (*Not) Live / Solo - May - 25 - June - 2024...
scaught replied to sid_9169's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Is that hot tub up on the bow an employee only area? I tried googling but it's not clear. -
about a flight of stairs and 3/4 the length of the ship to grab a bottle from sip lol

Rogueperson's **Live** Scarlet Lady 4/21/2024 Transatlantic
scaught replied to Rogueperson's topic in Virgin Voyages
My AT&T Plan includes free canada and mexico, and it has that $10/day unlimited international day pass thing. Considering it just works when I get to the location and don't have to deal with sim swapping or anything it's great for me. It worked in Barcelona when we were there, and I can't imagine trying to do Tokyo without it. -

You just have to upgrade your drinks. A bottle of Moet is $95. Be a fancy RogueLad and drink champagne! -

Ive been on 2 VV cruises and somehow either never found this place (1st cruise) or didn't find it when it was open (poor planning on 2nd cruise). #3 this July - will i get to eat there? -
LIVE - Beyond 1/29/2023 - Live Blog, Cat Blog, Vlog!

whoa they have high life? Ask for one with an oz of Campari poured in. The bartender who described this to me called it a no-groni. -
Awful State of Ocean View Cafe for dinner
scaught replied to Arubamoose's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It's really good. Highly dependent on who you end up sitting with in terms of the fun factor, but the food/drinks are good. -
maybe i missed it but where did the champagne and strawberries come from? gift from dw?
-
AGREED. Upcoming cruise is my first on Celebrity, and I've been clicking away at this discussion board for a couple weeks. It's gotten depressing so it's good to read some nice comments.
-
yea...i bought a bottle of the 12 year weller 10+ years ago at Binny's in Chicago. I remember distinctly there being 3 bottles on the shelf and don't know why I didn't grab them all 😞 I just don't care about the hype bottles. I've had pappy 12. It's good. Let's say I could buy it for $300 (I can't). Is it 10x better than Old Forester 100 or WT101 for the price? Hell no. Diminishing returns and all that. The one I'd like to taste again is one I had in Louisville: a bottled in bond 100 proof heaven hill. That was a nice pour.
-
holy cow. I saw the 12 for 125 in Louisville over NYE and that's way too much. Who's buying at this price?
-
This used to be our goto pre-drink packages (and back when we didn't make a lot of money) because it's def a bang for the buck type of drink. Pro tip: don't drink them in a hot tub lol This is one thing I hope we can find on Celebrity (our first cruise on X is in a few weeks). On Virgin we found amazing bartenders who really knew their stuff. We got talking to one of the bartenders one night, and mentioned we like Cynar - the next day at their beach resort place he was there with a bottle of it making us drinks.
-
I've done two virgin cruises, we go on a celebrity cruise next month. I think the food is generally better, but not all of it is great (the steakhouse can't cook a steak to save their lives, some of the "buffet" options are kinda lacking). No drink package, but the bar tab deals are decent at covering that. The no kid factor is incomparable. I also just love the vibe on the ship in general. Employees seem happier.
-
I've been to James Beard nominated restaurants where the bill for 2 people was north of 300. I would assume that fits the "nice restaurant" category. I wore shorts and a black t-shirt. This dress code thing is passé.

Covid Precautions and Transparency Celebrity (Reflection)
scaught replied to trio on the move's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We have a cruise coming up in a few weeks (third one since covid). We will wear masks on the plane, but I predict we will do that indefinitely. I used to always get colds after a flight, and that hasn't happened since I am masked up so that's not changing. On the boat I will have one with me basically always, and will wear it if I'm in a crowd/crowded elevator. Boarding madness for sure, but if we're headed to dinner or on the pool deck probably not. -
I'm just way too excited for my upcoming cruise so I've been booking restaurants, and double checking things. I've got my bag tags printed out already, worked on packing list a little bit. Anyway. I was looking at my invoice and trying to reconcile what each row means. See image attached. I think I've got everything sorted other than the guest 2 (169.00) line. It's another 75% discount for the second passenger, but for what line item? I tried googling some of these codes and searching on the site but couldn't find anything. Thanks for any assistance you all can provide.

Celebration! / Live! / Solo! Dec-4-11-2022...

I followed one of your scarlet reviews, and found this one after the trip was complete but still enjoyed it. Looking forward to the Prima review as that's a ship I'm interested in. -
FOR YOUR 2023 CRUISING DOLLAR, DOES X MARK THE SPOT?
scaught replied to Spif Barwunkel's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I've done ~10 on RCCL, 1 on Carnival mixed in there, and most recently 2 on Virgin. I thoroughly enjoyed the VV cruises, wanted another cruise, but wanted a different boat to explore. Beyond looks beautiful so I want to give it a try. It will be nice to have a drink package again. I will appreciate the "no smoking in the casino" policy. I guess we'll see if it hits the spot, but they already have my monies lol. -
Beyond creaking and knocking and slamming oh my!
scaught replied to RobertoF's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thanks for providing that link. I hope I don't get a room like that on my February cruise. I think I'm someone easy going but I also couldn't listen to that noise for an extended period of time - it would drive me nuts. -
Either way. Guessing the bar menus in the app just aren't complete. I can't imagine they wouldn't have it.
-
I looked on some bar menus in the app but didn't see, do any of the bars on Beyond have champagne? Real champagne (veuve, moet, etc), not sparkling wine.
-
Especially with those pool bar boys? It's amazing how fast I can get a negroni in a crowd.
