Rare sid_9169 Posted January 10 Author #4 Share Posted January 10 After a less than stellar experience on board Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady around Halloween 2023, luckily I had this sailing in my back pocket… Things pretty much began to fall apart on the second night, and never really recovered. I ended up getting sick in the middle of the second night, and that's not even close to the worst of what happened. If you followed along, then you already know. It ended up being my “worst cruise ever”, and the weird thing is, that my other worst cruise ever also happened over Halloween. At this point I've put that experience in the rear view mirror, and I'm ready to move on! Hopefully things on this sailing will end up being a complete 180° 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted January 10 Author #8 Share Posted January 10 I hope you're all ready for what will most certainly prove to be a wild ride this coming week! I've got my memes locked and loaded, and I'm hoping and praying for a great experience for my second go round on the Celebration.

Rare sid_9169 Posted January 10 Author #12 Share Posted January 10 We're supposed to have a couple of VIP customers here in the store today, which usually means going "above and beyond" and "doing whatever it takes" to make a big sale...

Rare sid_9169 Posted January 10 Author #19 Share Posted January 10 In addition to a cruise "review", we're also going to be taking a trip down memory lane this week. Back to a simpler time, when you could actually joke about things without people getting all bent out of shape... Are you game? ***One that the ladies will remember for sure... 9 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted January 10 Author #20 Share Posted January 10 But first, let's go allll the way back to the start… In the beginning, a few fellow and female Tribe members had vaguely talked about maybe putting together some kind of a “group sailing”. One of these particular individuals had already booked a particular cruise on the Carnival Celebration, and next thing you know, things began to snowball. Pretty soon, nearly a couple of dozen people had "jumped on board", including some of the Cruise Critic “big shots” who will be revealed soon enough. (*** edit to add: the cat was mostly out of the bag when Megan started her review earlier this week…) I didn't have anything else booked at the time, so I ended up booking this on March 16th 2023, and the rest is history. I’ll have to admit that I'm just a little bit apprehensive about doing some kind of “group cruise”, as I'm a whole lot more comfortable going solo, but I'm in too deep at this point, so… Some of y'all know that I'm oftentimes prone to wild emotional swings, and there are times when I just like to sit at the bar all alone and drink, so this is going to be an entirely new experience for me. Wish me luck! 26 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
