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

I didn't see it, just standard customs and immigration.

So sad this is all over - I was secretly hoping you would head to the desk and book the next sailing and stay on! The end means that I now have to actually do work while at work, rather than constantly refreshing this thread...thanks a lot!😜

 

Fantastic review, as always...really hoping that all the pieces fall into place for me to be able to test this ship out in Feb. I'm intrigued by it - I think I will really enjoy it, but it won't be the go-to line for me as I couldn't imagine regular vacations without my kiddos....but once in a while, mama gotta cut loose!

 

Safe travels home!

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!

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing your experience with us all!! We waited a long time for our cruise, and still have 229 days to go - so we will be on the same cruise as you in May!

 

Safe travels home!

My chariot awaits... May she fly straight and true.

Still another hour till my flight, but they just pushed the plane that was at the gate away with the push back truck... Something tells me that they're going to have to find another plane...

[sid_9169]

Turns out, that wasn't my plane. Ours is on the ground and on the way to the gate.

[sid_9169]

There's my plane... Looks way more sturdy than the other one anyway.

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

You're about to see why I never check a bag.

Thanks so much for sharing your vacation with us.  I'm glad the cruise exceeded your expectations in the end. Can't wait for the next one! 

[sid_9169]

Bags just being chucked and stacked without a single care for the contents. The only time I do it, is when I bring my mil spec heavy duty case to bring liquor back. Speaking of that, the guys at work are going to be mad that I didn't bring any Hennessy Pure White back for them. They'll have to wait until my Mardi Gras cruise when I do bring my heavy duty case.

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.

 

 

Just flew in from SAN, and the line for a freaking bagel was about 20+ people deep.. People must have nothing to do while waiting.

Great to see your October 6th ovage so far-no issues with covid...

That's good news! Considering, that the minute we stepped on the ship, the masks came off and we never looked back.

[sid_9169]

I just got one good piece of news. The lady who originally sat next to me, let's just say that she was spilling over her allotted seating area. Well, eventually the person who's seat it actually was showed up, and she's a nice skinny blonde...

Was nice in San Diego for four days, no mask requirements-and sadly, had to go back to my county where you can't even go into a dine in restaurant without ID, Vaccine Proof-Next will be next of kin, blood type, and sexual preferences... World has gone crazy

I promise you that the Scarlet Lady is going to deliver BIG TIME for you, once you're finally on board. The stuff with the app sucks, but the on board experience more than makes up for it.

Thanks @sid_9169. I actually just got an email from Rockstar services apologizing again for the piece of garbage app(my words), so I also sent them a snapshot of your post promising me it would be a fantastic cruise!!

I sure hope so..

About to go wheels up! See you in Atlanta...
