Hi, Megan. Hope you have a safe trip home. I'm sailing on Valiant Lady in a few months. I was planning on booking Shore Things with my Sailor Loot when I get onboard. I'll be solo. Do you know if there's anyway to do it before you board? Thanks 😊 

Before I fell asleep, I thanked God for Buff City Soap. 

I ❤️ Buff City Soap!! Magnolia & Cherry Almond are my favs!

Charla, I'm sorry for your loss. I know that being solo wasn't the plan, but you're all in and having a great time. I'm enjoying reading so far, and l hope it's great till the end. Jeremy is a great husband too! I think my late husband would have done the same. 💜

If you or your loved one used Lume deodorant products, and now suffer from big hot dog fingers and baked bologna breath, you may be entitled to compensation". Block it God. 

🤣🤣 ❤️ it

Yay!! Another Willdra production!! Looks like it's going to be a great one!

I'm here. This is going to be a great one!🎉

Yeah, the "classy" one is definitely less meaty. Glad you didn't have to pay for it. How did it taste in comparison to the $10 one?

I'm doing this itinerary next spring & solo also. Looking forward to reading this. This will my 2nd Valiant Lady cruise & 2nd solo! I 😍

Well I now know all ruins are not created equal. On last cruise we won an excursion to Chocchoban ruins in Costa Maya. It was an ok excursion, would have liked it a lot better if there had been a museum or tourist center to learn more. Our tour guides just basically led us around and left us on our own while they conversated with each other the whole time.

 

 

My experience was completely different at Chacchoben. We had 2 guides for our group of 9. They walked and talked to us about everything, even the different trees, like the allspice tree Saint Greg saw.

I walked downtown for a bit. It’s pretty dead. It’s just us

and the two royal ships no ships downtown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love Mega!

I just found this review today. I love your writing style and always enjoy your reviews. But wow, the pictures and especially the food pictures are fantastic! It was definitely a bucket list trip. I hope to do a trip/cruise like this one day. I really enjoyed this. 

Make a note if you're taking a Virgin Voyage to bring some soap from home... 

I've only been on Valiant Lady once in March of this year, but everywhere I went, there was soap in all the restrooms. Even at Gunbae. But the lack of concern and actions to correct something so important is very concerning.

Which sandwich was best? I like the looks of the 1st one better.

Love Deanies ❤️. I've just been to the one in Metairie though.

Was that rude?

No, she needed to hear that. But I think it's how she's being raised.

You should be fine. It’s Virgin Voyages. I heard two weeks ago this was happening. I just had to wait for the announcement. I’ve now scoured the internets and social media. It just changes my February cruise from Brilliant Lady to Valiant Lady again. 

Well, I'm not fine. They canceled my January/February Valiant Lady cruise! 😪

After watching Game of Thrones twice all the way through in the past few months, I needed something else to watch now, so I dipped into the 'ol DVD collection and came up with Monk the obsessive compulsive detective..

I love Monk!

Loving it as always!🤩

Thanks for the pics of Aruba. When we went in 2017, we didn't get to see anything beyond the port because of lack of options for the disabled. Unfortunately, my husband passed away. But I hope to get back to Aruba one day and see it.

You know I'm here for all of this! Loving it!😍

I just re-read this review and it still was just as great as the 1st time. I was just wondering if you have cruised any this year? Any more reviews coming up? Thanks!

Well we survived the big birthday party for our toddler! Her birthday is not actually until the end of this week but since that's Father's Day Weekend we figured it was best to do it the weekend before. It turned out nice!

My MIL and GMIL acted just as expected unfortunately, and apparently were super rude to people who were commenting on how great of a father my husband is. My MIL got offended and made some snarky comment about how she has ANOTHER son too. It's just gotten very weird. Things are very strained. Also they did not offer to help us at all which is fine. But when I stopped by the table to say hi, my MIL proceeded to chastise me for not using their drink tubs that apparently are in their shed that I had no idea about because she didn't offer them beforehand. I guess she didn't think the inflatable drink things were "nice enough". She also got upset that my mom did not sit with her, and instead sat with my Aunt and my cousins.... you know. Her own family? Also my MIL and GMIL were free to move tables. They sat at one alone in the center and glowered at everyone the whole time. Didn't even try to talk to anyone at all. MIL also yelled at me because one of our friends kids was helping open presents and she didn't like that at all. I just feel terrible for my husband because his family can't be bothered to be involved in our daily lives, and then they feel entitled to holidays etc and make rude comments when we have a "big birthday party". His mom got insulted that we gave them an in person invitation instead of a FB one too which is just ridiculous. I am fairly certain she is still bitter that we don't let her be a FB Grandma that posts photos of our kid on there all the time even though she literally never comes over here at all and knows nothing about her despite our open invitation.

 

But everything else was great, and we have a great community of people who care enough to show up which is amazing.

I had one super embarrassing moment where I confused my friends boyfriend for my other friends husband and didn't realize it until afterwards. I feel so stupid for that happening but I have literally only seen them each one time, and they look sort of similar. The bad part is both are POC, so I am really really hoping that people do not think it's simply because I think all people of a certain skintone look the same because that's not the case. But there really is no way to bring it up without making things worse.

 

 

As a person of color, I think if you apologized, that should be enough.  It's not someone that you see every day. I wouldn't be offended. And you had a lot going on and dealing with the in-laws on top of it.

Looking at the menu for Pink Agave... Thinking definitely the esquites, aguachile, camarone Amarillo, and for the main, I'm looking at the bistec marinero en escabeche... I haven't had a steak on board all week...

 

 

 

I had all of your choices except the aguachile. They were all 💯🔥

Another great review as always Sid.    
 

Did that bread taste as good as it looks.  

Not Sid, but the bread is delicious!

Go play video games.
