Rare MeganGC1983 Posted January 10, 2023 Author #77 Share Posted January 10, 2023 We have opted to go to checked bags and 1 carry on. I hate to pay for it, but I also don’t wanna stress over it. My main suitcase is packed sitting at 37 lbs even. I’ll throw my daily stuff in the carry on. My personal item will be my beach backpack plus my computer so I can work. DH is all ready set to buy things in Puerto Rico. He’s got a shopping list. That feels backwards lol 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bought something in London several years ago and when I got home discovered the same type of security tag on it. I literally put it in the drawer (It was a stupid cotton sleeveless t-shirt) and left it for about a year before looking at it and spent two days trying to pry the f**king thing off. I had to crack the plastic off then use pliers to bend the metal pin and shear it off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwest898 Posted January 10, 2023 #80 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I bought something from VS and still had security clip on, didn't go off going out but went off going back in the store to remove it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I’m always on call, but that’s my choice. I rather be available than not! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to crack the plastic off then use pliers to bend the metal pin and shear it off. Yeah I know, from working in retail, some have ink that explodes. I don’t wanna chance it. It’ll take 5 minutes to go in and get it removed. No worries. Plus I’m gonna try on the smaller size. I’m on the first hook, tightening wise with that top. I don’t want it to be too tiny in the front, but too loose is bad too. I got a large for the frontal area. My width isn’t large so it’s always a give and take. That’s a lot of information to explain that after my kids and post weight lost, I got that area fixed so my sizing is off. 😆🤷🏼♀️ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard some of them have black ink that squirts out if you try to remove it without that special doohickey thing. Edit to add: Never mind, just read Megan’s post.

I needed to hear this, since this guy had me absolutely terrified that everywhere would be jammed and we'd never get to eat or watch what we wanted! It is totally true. He used to work for a different cruise line and thinks he knows everything. He continues to post negative cruise reports and videos about VV, but keeps booking new sailings with them. If things were really so awful on his dates, why does he keep booking? My sailing was great and I booked more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid on a Serious Suite and a sweet aft suite… mostly because I was comfortable spending that amount. I wasn’t crazy about spending $1500 more on this cruise. And I’m thinking my bid NOT get accepted because they all looked to be gone today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question- some of the Mega Rockstar suites talk about an unlimited bar, but the Serious Suite says it includes 'some selected beverages'... any clue what that means? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
