I’ve loved Virgin Voyages and have one more booked, but I’ve long thought that I’d probably get priced out. That said there’s some Caribbean sailings that aren’t so bad, so maybe for special occasions every now and again.

Enjoyed our couple of days in Paris and last night in Barcelona. Ready to get on board. Finally figured out Funchal, still no idea on why we’re doing for Malaga. It’s our second anniversary today.

I’m only frustrated with it because I deliberately booked Grand Marina and now it’s probably a tad too far to walk

Really loved it. You’re able to get some clear space. I think there was 20 of us.

Tater Tots. American. In Australia they’d be potato gems.

Tots. They’re the right balance of potato and crispy

Plenty of free food on coco cay. No doubt RCCL advertises the stuff they charge you for but there’s plenty of free stuff. We snorkeled and that was free.

No worries. It’s theoretically possible but honestly not worth the stress, if something goes wrong you’d miss your flight and it’s almost certainly with an airline that would not be helpful.

I’d not recommend it. I’d also not recommend calling Uluru Ayer’s Rock, that is an outdated name.

We immediately booked our TA on Virgin while on board. So definitely loved Virgin although never done a TA on them.

There was some animal life there. I did the shipwreck excursion that you don’t like so I can’t speak much of Bimini. Didn’t have to wear a life vest on that excursion and was never kicked by anyone. There were lots of rays right by the dock.

Really enjoyed the snorkeling at coco cay with their work to create environments for the sea life. My favorite excursion was from Virgin’s beach club. A shark dive and a visit to the Sapona wreck

I make the odd choice and take Brightline

I’m a big fan of Brightline. We used it to get from FLL to Miami cruise port. It’s a short Uber to the train station and then even closer to the terminal (you could spit to it in a high wind). If you do first class you get a lounge at the station, drinks and snacks onboard, and a free ride that the cruise terminal is actually in range for (although they sometimes won’t give you a ride there). They might be switching this to an Uber coupon both ways, which honestly is better because you could go beyond the limits and get a discount.

Could it be that the Transatlantic just has more engaged people. I’d be surprised if these were very full based on what I know about Transatlantics but what do I know this is my first.

You can call or chat and give the name and booking number and it will refer. If you booked before the person who you’re saying is referring you it won’t work. We have multiple on our upcoming but if I log in to my account now it’s only giving one batch of credit, that said the app is notoriously wonky.

Like other entertainment staff her contract was up

Trans Atlantic Med to Miami Oct 29 to Nov 12 2023 https://virg.in/4Hy6

Seriously considering booking a second this year to qualify but I really don’t have the money!
