Shaded Lady

They're like rabbits! Darned things multiply when you're not looking!!!

I've had to email a few times- one for a question about a promotion and another time to figure out how to submit an upgrade bid- both times I got an email back within a week or so, but it definitely wasn't very fast. I'd pick the phone up and call- I always get fast response that way.

Meant to ask you yesterday when you 'fixed' your internet... do you have the free version or the premium? If Premium, do you know how I would sign up for it? I can't find it in the app anywhere, maybe we just need to wait til we board?

Oh, I remember! Some of those status on top of the poles in the Red Light district made my hubby laugh out loud! Especially the frog one (IYKYK!)

Count me in!

YAY- the Trifecta of flying- Seat assignments? Check... Flights actually departed and on time? Check... Baggage arrived at same airport as me at the same time? Check, check, check!!!

So you won't wait 3 hours for a response, I think Megan was supposed to be in the aisle seat and the lady was in it... she told Megan to sit elsewhere... even with empty seats I'd have been telling her to pound sand and move her lazy butt!

I suspect he's off enjoying his cruise because he hasn't posted on his own review in quite a while either...

OMG- THIS!!! Every time Greg tells us he's going for a 'BM' I have to remember to translate it into "Bloody Mary', not the other use of the acronym!!!

@MeganGC1983 @fethiyeden posted something interesting on the Tribe thread about getting compensation from BA... I won't repeat it all here, but basically said if BA messes up, they'll make it right! You may want to check out their post there...

Darn- doesn't matter what I do I'm never on your Live before the 2nd page! But I'm still here early so I'm good. Really excited for this review...

82,000 Bonvoy points for the night before our Virgin TA in October... YMMV. It was also $363 if you chose cash.

Yeah, my daughter is addicted to ketchup chips- personally I can't stand them! Now poutine! That is a thing of beauty, a small slice of heaven here on earth! If you ever have time to spend time in Montreal itself and not just the airport, I'll direct you to a place that makes the most heavenly poutine- topped with shredded chicken or beef!

You've never met my brother! He and I can bicker back and forth like a couple of old women!

If she's still speaking to you at that point, Jeff! It may be Megan and Patti and you'll be frozen out!

I’d be heading to Guest Services to raise a concern about the price of that last drink…

Giving credit to @sid_9169 here's a picture of the flag on the table in the Galley that he just took today - he's doing a live cruise review if you're interested, btw!

Hard pass on the tostada, thanks!

Oh Jeff don't start that or you'll get the whole Team BEETS/Team No BEETS thing going again (a few months back on the Tribe it was about Miracle Whip or Mayo (or neither))!!!

Oh and by the way, Sid, I followed as soon as I saw you started your ‘live’ and I was # 60! Your popularity grows with every review!

Brain fog from COVID??? I call it getting bloody old and I’ve never had COVID!

@sid_9169 and @MeganGC1983 have both done live reviews from VV ships... check out their reviews- they're really good!

Sorry but this seems crazy! Hubby or I will often wake up early and just sit out on the balcony watching the sun rise or enjoying the waves... that's not gonna work this cruise if it means that the person left in the cabin is sweating instead of sleeping!

Billco- ditto for us! We were in an XL right above the Red Room on deck 8... there were no other XLs anywhere for the longest time, finally 2 weeks ago I called and was able to move to an XL on Deck 9! We also bid on a Seriously Suite, which I doubt we'll get but hey, it's free to bid! BTW we're on the October TA as well! I'll keep an eye out for you!

I'm on the TA this October and at the risk of invading OP's thread, can you tell me if your cruise was at capacity for your sailing? How did you find the dining venues? If you didn't get reservations were you able to walk up and wait? On regular shorter cruises I've been told you can only make reservations at the same restaurant twice- does that apply to the 2 week TA? I've never sailed VV before and I'm so looking forward to it!
