Shaded Lady

I’d love to cruise where they are that much below capacity…. I have a friend who won’t cruise because she feels like it’s too “people-ly”! Also, Team Beets here._

I’m not sure why it’s so darned cheap but hubby and I got an offsite parking reservation at IAH George Bush Houston for under $3 a day! We are parking for 3 weeks and needed cheap options but this seems really inexpensive!

Woo Hoo! I'm here, eagerly waiting!

me... I'm gold and my tags were colored the same. Just checked now and they're red. I am however Priority because we're staying in a suite. Anyone not Priority have red tags?

@Greenpea2 I feel ya! And worst, my DH laughs at my lists and how organized I am about packing, and invariably, EVERY CRUISE, he forgets something, that I miraculously have managed to pack! One of these days I'm just going to pack my stuff, and see what happens when he gets onboard!

Can’t wait! So looking forward to this review… and I promise- I’ll think of Sistah at least once a day reading this, in her honor!

I have a dill caper sauce that is AWESOME on salmon!

Awww shucks, we love ya too, big guy!

OMG! I was thinking exactly the same thing!!!

@sid_9169 I second the powder recommendation to remove sand... I buy a small bottle of baby powder from the dollar store and put it in my go bag, even if I'm not beaching it. I had a woman spill an entire bottle of coke on my foot once in Nassau- I washed it off but we were in a sandy area and I couldn't get my swim shoe back on because of the sand... out came the baby powder and I was able to get my (wet) shoe back on minus a pound of sand!

@cml4958 Signed on and primed for another Prima review!

??? 🙄

YAY! A Sid Review! Helps to pass the days!

@MeganGC1983 one quick question- our TA in October returns to Miami... does Virgin offer airport transfers or do we have to find our own way to the airport? I'd love to know the rest of your gang's experience with getting to the airport...

Thanks Megan for sharing your cruise with us, and especially for your homework about our cabin assignment! I hope to share a cruise with you someday! (unfortunately it doesn't look like the Tribe cruise will happen for me 😪)

@MeganGC1983 I know you book cruises etc for others, but is that your full time job? Just wondering what 'work' would make you put time in while on a cruise?

AWESOME!!! Thank you so much Megan for your sleuthing! So now if my bid for a Rockstar suite doesn't happen I'll still have a nice cabin! again, thank you!!

@MeganGC1983 I really hope not! I saw pics of 8322Z on Scarlet Lady and the lifeboats are one cabin over... REALLY hoping that it doesn't, or I won't be a happy cruiser on a transatlantic cruise for 2 weeks! But thanks for the detective work- please let me know what you find out.

I LOVE the expression on her face! Like- What is this?????

If he’s gonna pull off his usual second half miracle he better get it in gear!

Not that I know of… nothing in the booking details indicated that…

I'm concerned- our cabin is on the floor above (8th) just above the entrance to the Red Room... are you near 8322A at all? Also I'm concerned now about the lifeboats obstructing our view... do you know if that is true?

Full disclosure- I gave the wrong info... I checked my invoice from the parking place and it was $2.91/day... still under $70 after tax for 3 weeks!

I know! My hubby searched for parking around IAH for our TA and when he told me how much it was going to be (under $70 for 3 weeks!) I was sure he was confused! But it's true! It's called On Air Parking... cheapest parking I've ever seen!

Guess you don't want to hear I'm paying $2.51/day for near-offsite parking at Houston George Bush Airport in October???
