I haven’t looked into it too much but that worries me Drinks are super reasonably priced - you can buy a bar tab beforehand, for every $300 you get an extra $50, usually there's at least $300 included with the price of the trip. I've only done one VV so far but it was a girls trip, we had a $300 bar tab, brought on our two bottles of wine, also purchased splash of romance (lol) which got us a free party with champs, rosé and sangria one night, and also a bottle of champagne. We had like $7 left of our bar tab the last morning of the cruise that we spent on coffee. edit - oh and they give out free champagne during sail away and you play a drinking game if you have dinner at Gunbae, free limoncello after dinner at Extra Virgin Edited November 19, 2023 by Funsince1983 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted November 19, 2023 Author #457 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Just met Visnesh 🇮🇳 my cabin steward. Nice enough guy. Only thing I asked for was ice whenever he does the room and he happily agreed. Good vibes early. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted November 19, 2023 Author #458 Share Posted November 19, 2023 My medallion is a little laggy with the door lock. It definitely doesn’t unlock when I get close, and I have to press it directly against the sensor a time or two to get it to unlock. At least in my two attempts so far. May be my aftermarket watch band. 🤷🏻♂️ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this really nice on my last cruise so I’m curious if it still works They have CHANGED the layout--note @TxTeach79 screenshots above. It is MUCH better now instead of the scroll up/ down & side to side debaucle. Guess they DO sometimes read those surveys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted November 19, 2023 Author #462 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Lots of cool features on the in cabin TV. Weather forecast for the whole trips. I have two NFL games on rn. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just entered the third one, so I’ll probably be here a minute. We’ve just hit one hour outside. Honestly that resembles the disaster known as Vancouver. Last time I took Princess out of Galveston that was not my experience. That was also pre-covid right before they quit sailing from there, but geez - that's enough for people to question their choice. 😞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
