Excellent pictures! ❤️

My family sailed on the Dec. 17th sailing of Ascent and LOVED it! We sailed Apex in 2022. Also loved it! Some of the enhancements on Ascent include improvement with the bar experience (including a 360 degree Martini Bar and the World Class Bar), an improved dining experience (Le Voyage & the enclosing of the Rooftop Garden Grill) to name a few! It is a truly beautiful ship. We also thoroughly enjoyed the show "Bridges". I cannot wait to sail her again. We are also eyeing the next iteration, Xcel for 2025.

I’ve only sailed the ship once AND agree with your take!

Ironically I attempted to change my choice the next day and they had already begun processing the refunds. We had a December & March cruise booked. Cancelled the December & transferred the March to another sailing. Wasn’t thinking. I paid 1/2 the price for the December cruise. Should’ve transferred that one! 🙃

We received ours (2 separate rooms) 3 days after cancellation.

Cruise on VV with our young adult sons & parents last Christmas! We all had a blast!

I haven't received a confirmation, but the sailing I selected is in my account as "on hold".

I’m frustrated too AND VV has a great product! I think you’ll be pleased once you sail them!

I’m hoping for 8 as I can’t do a 14-day at this time. I had two cruises cancelled. The Mermaiden out of Miami and the 3/23 sailing from San Juan. Both on Brilliant. Hoping to keep my flight to San Juan & fly back home from Miami on the 31st. We’ll see!

Thank you! I can now see the Shore Things in firstmates!

Same for the Dec. 24th sailing I’m currently booked on! Also not available to book excursions for this sailing as an agent!

I know it’s just a rumor, but what would being replaced with VL look like? VL has sailings as well & the Dec 23/Dec 24th sailings don’t match in sail date or duration.

Same here. Inconsistent on my end. Some disappear and then reappear. Weird!

The January sailings are still showing on the US site as well as the initial Memaiden Voyage (which I am booked on but losing hope)! The San Juan Mermaiden was missing on the site (at least on my end) earlier today but is back up now!

100% agree with this!

Yes. We’ve sailed many ships including both Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady. It is IMPOSSIBLE (for almost anyone) to “fall off” a balcony WITHOUT climbing or somehow being propelled over. I imagine someone REALLY tall (close to 7 feet) MIGHT be able to lean over and fall.

When I made this post I had no idea what happened! I was a passenger mostly in the dark regarding the incident. Once aware, I clearly disengaged and did not attempt to speculate. I feel terrible for this family and completely empathize! I also have a child (young adult) this age. Yes! We heard many stories including stories about the person who was allegedly fallen upon. This family’s life is forever changed. I kindly ask all of those who wish to engage in this post to be kind and remember a young life was lost. Nothing else is as important!

So sorry to hear! My heart goes out to you.

I’m saddened to hear what has happened! My heart goes out to the friends and family of the person involved. Truly heartbreaking!

On Valiant Lady now. We headed back to Miami late last night due to a medical emergency. I hope whoever we headed back for is ok! Our itinerary changed! No longer visiting Roatan & Costa Maya. Replaced by a sea day and Cozumel. 🙃

We did this tour last year. It was, by far, the worst tour I've ever taken! Everyone on our tour was in agreement. It was almost laughable.

Booked in 2020 after the original cruise was canceled. Elected not to take the airline promo, as I wanted to spend 6 days pre-cruise in Barcelona. WAS able to get the promo.

Definitely should. I had it added yesterday for a cruise that sails next week! Well past final payment!

I'm an agent as well and just asked them to add the Free at Sea Plus to my booking. They should be able to do it that simply; however, I just looked at my invoice. The one I can see it may be is FASUP.

Why can't you just cancel and rebook the excursions?
