Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #651 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well, that's probably going to be it for me tonight... Thanks to all of you who've been following along on my strange and twisted adventure. Hopefully things will start to look up tomorrow... Or, the ship might sink to the bottom of the ocean, who knows... We'll all find out together then... Good night......... 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I started throwing cash tips on the bar, suddenly a couple of my drinks ended up being no charge... (***Don't tell Virgin Voyages,) Well, they know now. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand the boxer briefs. It’s all of the bad things about briefs combined with the bad things about boxers…I guess people wear them because I see a ton of them in the store. I just don’t understand why. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already laid a cash tip out for the guy, but I wanted to take it back when I found out how much he charged me. There's definitely no way that a reposado margarita should have been more than the anejo... The first four drinks that you had were expensive, but priced right. The cheapest was the silver at 14+, the reposado was 16+ and the anejo and the shot were both 18+. But 24 for a reposado should have came with a lubricant back. 😄 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH told me he likes them because they're not the old fashioned tighty whities and they're not like boxers since he likes his "boys" to have a home and not be loose. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverendingcruising Posted May 22, 2023 #661 Share Posted May 22, 2023 If you tap the line items in the wallet it will show you a receipt with a description of what you were charged for. I had ordered a specific, moderately priced whiskey at The Wake once and was charged for a significantly more expensive one. Sailor services contacted the restaurant and had it fixed for me the next day, so hopefully just some kind of mix up! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned before how their pricing is extremely inconsistent. The same drink at a different bar, or even the same bar can differ exponentially...

Are you leaving these charges as they are or getting the situation resolved? Wonder if easier to ask price first and check it when at that bar?

That'll give me time to enjoy sail away, and I moved my favorite restaurant, Extra Virgin till Thursday evening... What time was sail away? I also made a 6:45 reservation and am thinking of moving mine back a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #666 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Another night full of technicolor dreams... The one right before I woke up was on a ship. I looked out the window to see what the weather was like and it was raining. We were sailing close to a huge mountain, and I mean really close. Next thing I knew, I woke up here and the weather was beautiful, but there were no mountains... I was able to successfully switch over to my backup phone without any issues whatsoever, and I need to put on some clothes and go find coffee STAT... 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #667 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Gimme that strong black jet fuel! Supposed to be a ten dollar per day credit for specialty coffee, we'll see. They did credit me back for the premium WiFi, so that looks good. Trying to figure out what to do for breakfast. I think I'm going to try The Wake. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 22, 2023 Author #669 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Then you have the giant sunbeds surrounding the pool. These are prime real estate... All but three of them are chogged already... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavenger Posted May 22, 2023 #670 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Random thought from me. I’ve been traveling a lot for work and one thing I do is bring my own little book little Starbucks Columbia instant coffee in packs to hotels. To me they work great and I can just fill up a large cup with hot water, mix in the coffee and be done with it. Can you use your own cup for things like water and coffee? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
