Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1677 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm in the taxi line. Quickest debarkation ever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Wildcatllamas Posted October 10, 2021 #1678 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Sid I can't thank you enough for everything that you shared. It has been an amazing journey to follow along. I can't wait till December where I'm doing a B2B as well. Nine wonderful nights. The friend that is going with me is a big time Princess fan so this is going to be a new experience. I hope he enjoys it. He and his late wife were supposed to go with me and he decided he would live the experience for her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1683 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The airport is twenty minutes from the port. My driver made it in twelve. We were hitting 90 mph much of the way. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BohJang Posted October 10, 2021 #1684 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thanks for this amazing review. I really enjoyed coming along with you. Your cruise was the highlight of my week as I sat at work wishing I was there too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1685 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm so early that I don't even have a departure gate yet. I'm going back outside so I can take off my mask. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1687 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Just checked the Virgin Voyages app, and they've already got my countdown going for the next cruise! But first, the Carnival Mardi Gras in November! Edited October 10, 2021 by sid_9169 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the stuff that happened with the app, and even the downgrade has been forgiven now. Virgin Voyages is my new favorite cruise line... 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1689 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Guess I can take my Band off now... Honestly, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's always there "at the ready" when you need to pay for something. Edited October 10, 2021 by sid_9169 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubNHub Posted October 10, 2021 #1691 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thanks for taking the time to bring us along, Sid. You spend a lot of hard earned money on these ventures, and no one would fault you for ever giving us less photos and less info... but all of your reviews leave us feeling like we’ve been standing next to you the whole time. Your unity before 2020 was appreciated, and even more so now after the last 18 months. I imagine I speak for everyone when I say that you have allowed us all to escape the world for the last 5 days. Thank you. Safe travels back to ATL, where the skies are clear and a nice 71 degrees this morning! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1694 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Still don't have a gate assignment yet, but I always leave from concourse H when I fly home, so I'm taking a chance on it... I'm wearing my "secret mask" which really isn't that bad. Plus, I have to pee... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sticking with your original flight or did you go with a different flight to get that credit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted October 10, 2021 #1696 Share Posted October 10, 2021 @sid_9169.....FANTASTIC review..,,,my friend you come ALIVE when you cruise! This is the Sid we would love to see more of! Your review kept me going on our journey from Utah to Arizona, thanks so much. I'd give VV a try and I'm way out of their target zone age! IMO a cruise is what one makes of it, if you party you party, if you don't you don't. We enjoy meeting and talking with new folks over drinks and we also enjoy our alone time in our cabin and on our balcony......while others party the night away. Thanks again and keep your chin up November is not that far off for your next adventure.....and you are returning to Atlanta to your OWN place! Safe travels back to Atlanta....see you over on the TRIBE side! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1697 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm so thankful for TSA pre check... Even though I'm always plenty early for my flight, it's just so nice to sail through security in two minutes, and not having to take off my shoes. Best $85 I ever spent... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even checked in at my gate yet. I decided that they're going to have to offer me more than the $300 I bid to give up my seat. I'm just ready to get home now, and still have a subway trip and an Uber to catch until I get there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pl281 Posted October 10, 2021 #1699 Share Posted October 10, 2021 @sid_9169 Did you happen to notice if they had Global Entry at the port - although from the sounds of it getting off the ship isn't that big a deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1700 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's amazing how people will wait in line for a half hour for a cup of overpriced coffee... They must put crack in that stuff. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
