I want one of the towels!

Genies have assigned suites so there is a chance that you could get different genies. About 2 months prior to cruising each suite will get a survey and at the end you can request to all have the same genie. They are very good at trying to grant wishes even before sailing.

Star Class is only on Oasis and Quantum class ships. Owners suites on these ships are not Star Class.

Have a great cruise!

Our Genies have always booked dinner reservations for all of us. Your genie will contact you about 2-4 weeks before sailing.

When I lived in Australia no one celebrated Halloween and they had only seen it on tv. My mom, in the US, sent boxes filled with a lot of decorations and candy. There were all different candies but I only remember candy corn and root beer. My host family had a party and gave the candy to all of the neighbors so the kids could trick or treat.

We are staying at the Ritz on SB. Does anyone have suggestions for dinner? Thanks

We tried to have ours reprogrammed last February and it did not work.

This was my conversation while putting my groceries in the car Homeless man: Do you have any cash? Me: I'm sorry, I don't HM: Can you drive me to Burger King? Me: No, but you are more than welcome to take something out of my bags HM: I WANT BURGER KING! Me: Sorry HM: F*** you, as he walks away.

We did!

When we move from FL to CA in the 80's we rented a townhouse. A heatwave came through and I turned on the AC and nothing happened. It was broken. I called the landlord only to be told we didn't have AC. We never thought to ask about it.

We had it last week!

I'll admit that I'm a creeper. Our daughter lives in the town that I grew up in and on one of our visits we drove by my childhood home. Construction was happening so I jumped out of the car to see what was going on. Flippers had just bought it and were happy to show me. My parents sold it in 1980 and the buyers had just died. Nothing had been updated in 40 years. It brought back a lot of memories seeing the avocado green kitchen and the fuzzy wallpaper in my parents bathroom. I took a piece off the wall. It was sold and turned into an Airbnb. 2000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom that sleeps 16.

Sorry, no pics. I had a central sea terrace on deck 12.

It's taken me a few days to catch up after my cruise. My daughters and I sailed on VV Scarlett Lady and had a great time. I went with an open mind and was very pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing, loved the entertainment and there was enough that we were never bored. Missed some things because they were at the same time and choices had to be made. We don't cruise in the summer because of the crowds, kids and heat. Bimini was beautiful but so hot. I do love kids, I have 3 and we always cruised with them, but the entire atmosphere changes when there are none on the ship. I can't compare or complain about the cabin as we cruise RC in suites and on Virgin I had a balcony to myself. Plenty of storage, but the bathroom is small. They took up most of the space with a nice size shower with rain head shower. I have two favorites, with the first being the crew. They seem to love their job and being able to be themselves. Lots of colorful hair, tattoos, piercings and a few speedos and thongs. As simple as it sounds my absolute favorite was the hammock on the balcony! It was hot but I took my fan out and was able to nap. I did book another cruise while onboard.

I'm not the lucky one, I lost money in the casino. My daughters got the invite to the private parties and won in the casino. I just tagged along.

November 13. I would love to meetup!

No, but my daughter put $50 dollars in a penny slot machine, did 3 pulls and won $372.

There were 3 busy ones when I watched. So they must leave as a team! Enjoy your new trio!

I'm back from my cruise on Scarlett Lady. The previous few posts and reviews could have been written by me as they were very close to my experience. I went in with an open mind and had a fantastic time and booked another cruise while onboard. I can't compare the stateroom as we cruise in suites on RC and on Virgin I was solo in a spacious sea terrace. The room was definitely large enough and had enough storage. Closet space was ample, along with 4 drawers, a few shelves, storage baskets and plenty of hanging space. A few hooks on the wall, cubbies space in the desk, cold refrigerator , carafes of still and sparkling water filled twice daily. Two very big drawers under the bed too. My daughters shared the exact room, with one bringing 14 pairs of shoes and they were ok. The bathroom was a little small but the shower was amazing. Great water pressure. My favorite was the hammock. All of my downtime was spent there! The food was outstanding. From the restaurants, to the Galley, Pizza Place, and ice cream. I'll admit I didn't like the Big green machine flavored ice cream but did love the brown butter. If that's my only dislike about the food that's a win. Others love it. Entertainment and activities were always happening, We always found something to do if we chose to. Duel Reality is a must. It is all listed in the app and if you choose not to carry your phone they have printed daily list of activities along with giant touch screens that show you the times and place for the activities. We missed some because multiple things we planned at the same times and we had to make choices. I don't know how but we were invited to 3 "special, private" events that were fun. Can't say enough for the Happenings Crew. The crew really makes your cruise unique and fun. You can tell they are having fun, really love their jobs and want you to have fun. If you want quiet and alone time they can tell and give you your privacy. If you want to engage in conversation they are very friendly. Was told by one crew member that they are allowed to be themselves which makes them happy. Kids have never bothered me on other cruises, we took ours on plenty, but the entire atmosphere of no kids is very noticeable and extremely nice. As we were leaving breakfast yesterday we were asked if we had a good time. I was honest and said we had cruised a lot on RC and loved it and will continue to do so but Virgin exceed all expectations. Some of the things that we pay for when cruising Star Class on RC are included in Virgins price for everyone. Free WiFi , specialty dining, soft drinks, big selection in in room movies. I wasn't sold on Virgin when I first saw the commercials and reviews but I'm so happy that I took the chance and tried something new. And the demographics of the sailors is very wide and diverse. I turned 60 on the cruise and my daughters are 28. We all had a great time.

I just noticed that we will be on Oasis with you in November.

Just got off today and got 3 invites to "private" events. The first time we were given cards that told us where and when to meet. The second time was at Scarlett night and someone from the happenings team remembered us and just told us to follow them. The third time we asked about the event and were told it was basically the same as the first one so only one person in our group went. I have no idea why we were invited other than being in the right place at the right time.

I disembarked this morning and booked another cruise while onboard. $300 deposit and $600 OBC and have 2 years to book it.

I went to University of Maine and they served soft shell lobster in the dining halls.
