Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #926 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Whoa!!! I almost just had a minor heart attack. Earlier, I removed my Band to go check out Richard's Rooftop. Well, just now, I look down, and IT'S GONE... I freaked out for a second, when I remembered that it was in my pocket......... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #927 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I just booked the Grog Walk for tonight at 9:00... Y'all know that's already close to my bedtime, so wish me luck! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #928 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Look! I have a window now! I wonder if there's any way to get out onto that deck? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #929 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I figured that it would be easiest to just get my special request out of the way with my new cabin stewardess... I asked for only water and new towels, and NOTHING else... She seemed to think it was reasonable, and now I won't have them knocking on the door while I'm getting ready or whatnot. Plus, it saves a lot of work for her, so it's win win... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #931 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) In case some of you don't know, today is a very special day for me, not because of the cruise, but for another reason... If you don't, then you'll have to go back and read some of my older reviews, so I don't have to make an entire paragraph over it... Anyhoo, today would be (SHOULD BE) the 55th birthday of a very dear friend of mine who died from breast cancer in 2014... She would have loved to join me on these types of adventures, but it's too late now... That's why I'm out here, spending money that I can't really afford, and drinking $17 margaritas that I also can't afford... She was one of those types of people that would go on vacation, even if she was three months behind on her car payment. And, that was before she learned that she had cancer. I was always the type who just didn't want to spend the money on those types of things. Fast forward to now, and even though it's too late for her to do these types of things, she's here with me right now in spirit, and in actuality sort of... On the beach... In the hot tub... At the roadside shacks where I like to eat... And, here on the ship with me right now... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, D! <3 Edited June 1, 2022 by sid_9169 68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's the soundtrack that you should be playing as I walk up the embarkation ramp to get back on the ship... I was thinking "Pretzel Logic" But "do It Again " fits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #936 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Back at the cabin after a little vacationing... I had one of my expensive margaritas at On The Rocks Bar, and some steak skewers at The Dock. Honestly, that steak was better than the one I had at Extra Virgin the other night, and you can order as many as you want! I'm about to go check in at my muster station, and then who knows what... I've got to try and keep it going until around 11:00 tonight, so hopefully I can do it... Thanks to all of you who have followed along so far, and I hope that I can keep it interesting enough to keep you around for part deux!... 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see anything there that I would even consider drinking; I guess I have gotten too picky about what I drink over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2022 Author #941 Share Posted June 1, 2022 One of the great things about Virgin Voyages is the ability to use multiple devices. Right now I'm using both phones at the same time, seamlessly... Score ten points for Virgin Voyages! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogladyrider Posted June 1, 2022 #945 Share Posted June 1, 2022 @sid_9169....it sounds like Virgin Voyages is your new "top" favorite cruise line. You sure have done a bang up job sharing with all of us what it is like cruising on Virgin. The food looks amazing and the ship is stunning. Curious if that "foot bath thingy" you took a pic of is pedicure or is it one of those fish nibble on your feet places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
