Rare sid_9169 Posted October 9, 2021 Author #1378 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I just spent ten minutes typing something, and pressed reply, and it all disappeared... I don't have what it takes to try and replicate it, so... Let's just say that my dinner at Gunbae had people from both sides of the political spectrum, and one guy got offended, then got up and left. I wasn't the one who offended him, by the way, it was an older guy that served in the Korean war. Anyhoo, it was a great dinner, and I'm stuffed again. I'm not sure how much longer I'll make it tonight... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 9, 2021 Author #1380 Share Posted October 9, 2021 At dinner tonight, I did my Dr Fauchi impression, which is spot on by the way... Some of the people loved it, while one of the people was offended. We've actually reached the day and age when you can't even make jokes anymore... 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BohJang Posted October 9, 2021 #1381 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Good for you Sid - glad you're having a good time. Too bad about people that get offended and leave. Boo frickety hoo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 9, 2021 Author #1384 Share Posted October 9, 2021 One thing that I forgot to mention about Bimini... The jellyfish. There are a bunch of them. They're not the kind with tentacles that sting, but they are out there. You can barely see them, if at all, but you can feel it when you bump into one. It feels mushy or slimy, but mostly just bounces right off of you. At one point, I did feel a sensation on my arm, like something, but it wasn't really pain. Just more like itchy for a few minutes, then it went away. There's no rash or mark whatsoever now, but I just thought I would mention it. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These delicate pieces took about twenty seconds or so, and they were delicious... An entire wagu steak would be about $75 - $100 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 9, 2021 Author #1390 Share Posted October 9, 2021 It's strange being on the ship, and still being parked at ten o'clock at night... I think we're here pretty late, so people can get the most out of Bimini. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 9, 2021 Author #1391 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Looks like something is about to go down here at the aft bar... I'll be asleep probably, but something is happening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping that Richard's Rooftop would be a fun place to hang out - that is just so disappointing the bar isn't even open up there! You just saved us a bunch of money! Thanks 🙂 It may be worth it when the ship is at full capacity…. Doesn’t seem worth it right now. I will tell you all when I return as I booked a back to back in a sea terrace and then a rockstar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatball_nyc Posted October 9, 2021 #1394 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Thank you for this review Sid. It’s been amazing to be back out on the ocean floating around again. It’s been totally awesome so far. Bravo. C C has been wonky again It’s all good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAPilot Posted October 9, 2021 #1395 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Sid thanks for the awesome review as always I like the fact that you lay it all out. I think a lot of us will base our decisions if Virgin cruises is something we want to try based on your review. So far other then the food I’m not really down with going backwards in the cruising world. Aka pay as you go drinks, there’s something about getting a bill at the end of my vacation that doesn’t sit well with me. Something that the other cruise operators figured out long ago that including the drink package is the way to go if they want to compete with land package all inclusive vacations. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubarpants Posted October 9, 2021 #1399 Share Posted October 9, 2021 How does Gunbae work if you're a party of two? Are all the tables large and involve sitting and cooking with strangers, or do they have some smaller options? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, along with no drink prices listed makes me wary. Plus, the inconsistency with pricing that @sid_9169 has pointed out! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
