Yup, that sounds like me, except I live in MN and miss my outdoor Pickleball. Will be on the Scarlet Lady in 3 days. The “events” schedule has Pickleball listed for sail day and both port days. The court looks like the basketball court, a bit smaller but I bet it will be a lot of fun and laughs. I’ll check it out!

Sailing for the first time on VV/Scarlet Lady next month. Stupid question but I have researched and just don’t “get it”. When on the balcony I am aware I need to close and lock the door so the a/c stays on in the room…but won’t I be locked out then? What if my roomie leaves the room and I’m locked out on the balcony?

Sounds cool, thanks

I did a search and couldn’t find anything. Is this a thing like Scarlet Night red but with a gold theme? Our “girls group” is getting closer and we would be into coordinating outfits. I know it’s dress as you wish and I’ll be wearing sneakers and shorts for some dinners but also like the group dress thing too!

Yes, that is a great idea. This trip means a great deal to us for a lot of reasons. It will be very special.

Thanks for the info. We have 4 cabins and I was really wanting help with reservations. Sailor Services has contacted me but it seems I will need to book the reservations first (45 days out) and then they will set up the “bash party stuff”. I think they will probably help with the dinner and brunch and our gang will not expect to be able to eat together for some dinners unless we get lucky. I have DBE so will board early and try if we don’t get group times 45 days out. We are looking forward to the “special” party stuff at dinner…we are celebrating sisters and also loved ones we have all lost this year.

Hey thanks, this info is helpful! We are midwesterners so “meat and spuds” for the picky eaters. We are older and have nice clothes from previous cruise “formal nites” so will be comfy at the Wake for dinner. Great tip about the reservations, I have DBE so will board and use the “linked” feature to reserve for all. Not a problem with “don’t cancel”, 1/2 the group is confused by cell phones on a good day! We are “young at heart” and can’t wait to try VV!

Has anybody tried this add on for their group? We booked the Scarlet Lady this December for a “girls cruise”. Ages 54-74 and decided to purchase the add on for help with dining. There are 8 of us and we wanted to dine together. Package seems to include help with one “family style dinner” and 1 bottomless brunch. What might be included with the family dinner? Asking because I need to choose the restaurant and have some “picky eaters” in the group. Wake vs Pink Agave vs RD. Test Kitchen is out for 4 so that night the reservation should be easy. I don’t worry about reservations typically (it’s vacation, who cares?) but feel responsible for getting these ladies a reasonable dinner time so they can get their shows/activities in. Some of us have “deep blue extras” so will board on the early side.

Cruise mapper sounds great. Thanks cruising Walter, I am a ship geek and love the HAL info every day.
