  1. Which side of the ship is best for WOS out if Barcelona. If you want to face the coast line of Barcelona thanks!
  2. Looking into a Barcelona cruise and was curious about being non boosted. Looks like the only port we’d have to test to enter is for France. Has anyone experienced this? Says it’s $55? How does it work do we do it at the port? The night before? Etc Also I read somewhere about non boosted folks needing an antigen test one day before disembarking. Not sure why as US isn’t requiring testing to fly anymore. Apparently another $55? Anyone dealt with?
  3. Last night we dined at the wake. Our favorite!! The filet, lamb, clam chowder, and twice baked potatoes can’t be beat!! We plan to dine here night 4 again it’s so amazing. We also dined during sail away and had the best view from our table. We did lunch at the galley upon boarding. Everything was amazing. The food on this ship is no joke!! We spent most of our evening in the casino since we had already seen the untitled dance party on our last cruise. The occupancy on board is 650! Insane feels like we own the ship. As far as the Walgreens test. I scheduled maybe a week in advance for a Monday test in my town. I did the Rapid NAAT and testing was done at the pharmacy drive thru. Very easy and worth avoiding port testing for sure. I’ll be sharing a more thorough review once back but wanted to give a brief update!
  4. Our test was hardly looked at lol. We did a rapid NAAT at Walgreens. Much easier than going to the testing tent and sitting waiting with angst. We showed up 12:45. Dropped bags. Went to the Covid test verification table. Got a wrist band and headed inside. Check in took 2 minutes then we did security. Now we are waiting in a seating area (with charger plugs!) to board. We are group 2 but I just noticed a group 4 person walk up (it’s 1:23). Guessing rockstars go first and assuming we start at 2… so early boarding is good to get a first check in group, but now we’re just sitting here (in ac atleast). Hope to be on board soon!! MUCH smoother than our October experience
  5. We are on the way. Left Orlando around 8:30 and our eta says 12:30 on the dot. Our check in is 12:30, but I’m not in a dire rush given we most likely can’t board until 2pm or so. Being a remote worker I forget what commuter traffic is like. Orlando was yucky!
  6. Laying in bed too excited to sleep as we head off for Miami tomorrow morning. Man did I over pack for this one. Also- tried packing cubes for a first time… not sure how I feel about them… Got a 12:30 check in but I believe boarding is around 2pm so we might be sitting around a while- not sure? I do plan to vlog as usual so I am excited to share footage of the new terminal! Hopefully this time around we have less time spent waiting outside in the sun. Forgot to mention previously, but tomorrow is also my birthday wahoo! First time cruising ON my birthday. I’ve been close but never on. Going to try and sleep. Stay tuned for more tomorrow!
  7. We’re back!!! Decided to do a second sailing on the beautiful Scarlet Lady. Got such a steal using our Sea Blazers coupons from our 2021 sailing and then the $200 JLO credit- this was too good to pass up. This sailing goes to Nassau and Bimini. We have an excursion booked for Bimini to snorkel with sharks. Eeeek. And then in Nassau we plan to stay on board- maybe spa day? We’re 48 hours out and virgin now allows self testing so we went to Walgreens today to get our tests done. Our test was called a Rapid NAAT, which I’m not even sure works…. The Virgin rep said that all that mattered was that it was a laboratory test and not a home diy kit. So we’ll see…. Can’t wait to share our sailing!
