Rare CineGraphic Posted December 9, 2023 #277 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Thanks for the live. Wishing you a safe trip home now, as I'm boarding a HAL ship tomorrow and refuse to pay $130 for 7 days of wifi. 🤣 I feel guilty not sailing with Virgin, but HAL is hosting a slot tournament for about 700 of us, and the top prize is $100K. I figured the odds are better than winning the lottery, but I just know the food and shows will not be anywhere near Virgin's quality. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #280 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I just got back to the shop. I’ve had a wonderful afternoon but my phone died so I only got pics of part of it (mostly beach club). I left the beach club around 1:30 as the pool party was in full swing the thump thump thump music is not my thing on the beach. If you’re into that, it seemed like a blast! I grabbed a tram back to fisherman’s village and found a taxi to take me to radio beach. I shared with another couple and we paid $10 each. No idea if that was good or bad. I found coconut Brian and also the famous conch - but then realized I don’t eat that. lol. The beach was beautiful and pretty empty and very peaceful. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #283 Share Posted December 9, 2023 After I had my fill of coconut drinks I headed out to find a taxi to go back to the ship. Once again, I had no idea what it should cost. I found a guy who said he would give me a “quick tour” for $25. Seemed like a good deal to me. Who knows. He was great and really did show me some places that I wouldn’t have seen just coming back, Sadly, that was also about the same time my phone died. So not only could I not take pictures, but I couldn’t call 911 if he decided to murder me! Lol, Actually he was a good guy and I ended up giving him $40 as he took me around for just under an hour! 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #285 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I wish the pictures did this place justice but they really don’t. The different shades of blue in the water were amazing but my pictures just don’t capture it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #287 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I said I got distracted by The Dock earlier. It’s no secret that this is my favourite place on the ship. It’s perfect. They have daybeds, aft views, and a Mezze Cart. I headed right here for a little snack. But two minutes after it came, the waiter brought me another menu that o haven’t seen before. Hence the distraction. Maybe I’m just never here at the right time. Anyway. Now I regret getting what I’ve already had before because I want this new stuff. But it’s also butter chicken night. The struggle is real. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #289 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I was worried I wouldn’t be able to use all my bar tab and credit. I think I had $800 in total. I did good! The bar tab should see me through tonight- I’m not having a crazy one this evening. And I will try to blow the $75 in the shops, though there’s not a whole lot of choice… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogcityca13 Posted December 9, 2023 #294 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Wish they would have mentioned this before we were on board. I would have also looked into booking the HoHo Bus if I knew they had a 10am slot as well. $35pp for a day pass at the International wasn’t bad though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 10, 2023 Author #297 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Feels very low energy on the ship tonight. I guess a long beach party day, followed by the end of cruise blues. Mood is sombre. I’m at pop quiz trivia right now and there’s only like 4 teams. 🤣 I’m going to check out the stores in a few minutes and try to spend the $75 credit remaining. Other than that, nothing planned until Circus Disco and Studio 72 at 11pm and 11:30pm. Will I make it? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etta1213 Posted December 10, 2023 #298 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We had a bit of blowing snow this morning, (north TX), gone already. Enough to be pretty, with no shoveling or driving issues. The Yankee in me does miss the big snows though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 10, 2023 Author #300 Share Posted December 10, 2023 One thing I do fault virgin on is their lack of communication on basic (but important) information. Like knowing ahead of time about luggage storage. Tonight I figured I would put my suitcase outside rather than try to navigate stairs and elevators. Then I realized that the only information we had about that was that you could do it if disembarking after 8:30. No luggage tags or colours or anything. So I put it in the hallway. My neighbour was out there and was attaching a tag to his bag. He said he had gone to sailor services to ask what to do and they had given tags. I mean, why not mention that ahead of time? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
