I’m mostly a lurker but I’ve read tons of Sid’s reviews and this is hysterical…y’all are so clever 🙂

It’s a little bumpy out there. We have hanger rattle! (Here for it… I like knowing I’m at sea every now and again)

 

I live at the blue dot…I’ve never thought about how close the ships really are 🙂

Enjoyed your review… we were on the cruise too (it was my last of 3 legs). Loved Horizon and agree with almost everything you experienced 🙂

Love when a countdown hits zero

 

Ok but what app is this? I need it 🙂 

can’t wait to follow along!!

Just got off the horizon Sunday after a B2B2B ..still recovering lol. Have a wonderful time and can’t wait to read all about it when you get back!

Thanks for the review! I was on this cruise with you and it was fun to relive it! I stayed on board for 2 more trips so just got home Sunday! 

We’ll be on the horizon cruise with you 🙂 I’m staying on for 2 more cruises after too! (B2B with my mom and then doing the 8 day again with my cousin)…can’t wait!

Just did this a few days ago on the Panorama to check in for our flights.   $25.

Thank you for reporting back!

I've done this on my last two cruises. It's really nice on sea days - in port I usually have other less expensive wifi options available.

 

Pro tip: if you purchase your 24 hour pass in the middle of the day you'll have it for the rest of the day and the next day up to the time of purchase. I usually buy it around noon and it covers my online needs for two days.

I was thinking of doing exactly this cuz i have 2 sea days and then 3 ports and then 2 more sea days on cruise 1 and 3 and the middle one it’s sea day, 3 ports, sea day…should work perfect!

So excited to follow along… we board the horizon (for 3 weeks) at the end of April. The first 2 weeks are also with my Mama! Where in NC are you from? We are in Wilmington!

Thanks everyone! I’m going to be onboard for 3 weeks and I’ll have internet in all the ports so don’t need internet on those days….was considering paying for a few 24 hour days of internet since I’m a small biz owner (one woman show) and just want to be able to keep up on emails 🙂

Yes, you can buy just 1 day of internet.

Thank you! Any idea of how much? I'm sure it's more (per day) than if you did the package..

Hello! I'm finding conflicting info in my research about this so does anyone know can you still buy just a day or two of internet on a cruise? I'm going on 3 cruises b2b2b and really don't want internet the entire time but may need it for a couple days. Seeing what options I have. Thanks!

Loved your review! Thx for posting!

So weird!… we were on the Jan 13th sailing and didn’t have any comedy at all….also didn’t have beach towels…just had to grab towels from pool deck to take off….and def didn’t get on as early as y’all and we were priority. Looks like you’re having a great time! Fun to follow along!

I made a decision on Virgin. I’ll be (semi) live in about 2 weeks. Hope you all will join me! 

Excited to follow along! Just got home from the first Valiant Lady cruise out of PR….it was a blast! Richard made an appearance and gave us a fireworks show when we sailed past his Necker Island. 
 

i was excited to come home and see how The Tribe cruise was and read yours first…thanks for doing it…! 

Looking forward to following along…we board on Saturday in San Juan!

Valiant Lady rolling in the darkness 

 

Heading to pick me up in San Juan on Saturday!! 
 

thanks for your great live review…it’s been fun to read this week while I’m in the final days of our countdown!

Boarding in 3 weeks out of San Juan so enjoying your review 🙂

I got some great deals on NCL and Celebrity for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. At least 45% off drink packages and excursions. I have two Carnival cruises booked next year, and I was really hoping to get some sales on those also.But there is nothing. Even the base price is higher than what I paid.

Yessss that’s what I was seeing too! I mean clearly they are doing well enough to not need to do sales but I’m definitely looking at other lines that are less $$ …. I turn platinum on my next cruise so it’s not like I’m a newbie either :)

Thanks y’all! I guess when i say deal i mean OBC with the booking 🙂 

I've seen a lot of the cruise lines are offering deals, reduced deposits etc for Black Friday/Cyber Monday..... I've been holding off on booking 2 cruises for a couple months waiting for a better deal and thought of all times this would be when they'd have one. Not the end of the world just curious if anyone has seen anything??

Edited to Add....there is a sale but only for 3 months of dates....  just surprised it's not bigger...

We are doing option 2 in January and can’t wait. Our first time on Virgin. I’ve been to 3 of the 6 islands but my sis hasn’t been to any and really hasn’t cruised before. Should be a blast!

Loving your review! We sail on Nov 1 on the same ship/ itinerary!!

I know this is an old review but I read both your southern Caribbean reviews today and loved em! We leave in 30+ days on the same itinerary. Do u happen to remember what time you got dropped off at the airport after doing the rainforest tour and was it through carnival? We will be in San Juan a couple days precruise and definitely want to go to El Yunque ...trying to decide if we should go before or after the cruise since we fly out late afternoon. Thanks in advance. Also loved your photos...I'm a pro photog and when I cruise I tend to leave my SLR on the ship (don't wanna hassle with it) but I just might take it with me this time into port!
