yeah, so??? You're debating a post about a thread from 3 years ago! Someone obviously cared enough to answer a question, in case others came across the thread and had similar questions!

cappucino/espresso/latte between $4-$5... plain coffee was ~$3 IIRC...

OK, spill! I'm in an XL for our October TA, but I've bid on a Seriously Suite... so what's the secret???

Yes

Bleccchhhhh!!!! Their coffee on Lido is definitely not for coffee drinkers! Java Blue for me, all the way! and as someone else mentioned, they have a card to buy 10, get one free (or similar- it's been a couple years since I sailed so I may not be exact on the details).

So based on this does the OP have an arrival time of 2:30 or an embarkation time of 2:30?

So this raises a question for me- my 'Arrival Time Slot' in the Virgin app is 1:30... and I'm definitely not a Rockstar! So is my "arrival" time different from embarkation?

The Twin Towers are in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, not Sri Lanka...

Am I seeing things or is that a person sitting on the very top of the whale tail?

I'm looking forward to your review of this itinerary- I'm the Key West Cruise stop killer! I've booked Key west on no less than 4 cruises out of Galveston.... ask me how many times I've been there? Go ahead, I'll wait... nah, heck, never mind waiting- ZERO! a big fat NADA! If it's not hurricanes, it's propulsion issues... if not those then COVID! I swear I'm only ever gonna see that place virtually! So entertain me, TeacherBoy!

Thanks! After avoiding the noise of the Red Room I was starting to get nervous that the room would be unduly cramped because of the 3rd bed! Thanks for putting my mind at ease...

I just moved my cabin from a Sea Terrace XL on the 8th deck right above the Red Room, as I was warned numerous times that it can and will get quite noisy. My new cabin is also a Sea Terrace XL but on deck 11. They warned me that it is a cabin that sleeps 3 people... there was no upcharge but now I'm wondering why they felt they needed to 'warn' me that there's an extra bed- he told me it was just a sofa that would convert to a bed so I'm thinking it's a pretty similar configuration as the XL that sleeps 2... are any of you familiar with the layout of the XL that sleeps 3? Am I going to be unhappy with it?

They're like rabbits! Darned things multiply when you're not looking!!!

I've had to email a few times- one for a question about a promotion and another time to figure out how to submit an upgrade bid- both times I got an email back within a week or so, but it definitely wasn't very fast. I'd pick the phone up and call- I always get fast response that way.

Meant to ask you yesterday when you 'fixed' your internet... do you have the free version or the premium? If Premium, do you know how I would sign up for it? I can't find it in the app anywhere, maybe we just need to wait til we board?

Oh, I remember! Some of those status on top of the poles in the Red Light district made my hubby laugh out loud! Especially the frog one (IYKYK!)

Count me in!

YAY- the Trifecta of flying- Seat assignments? Check... Flights actually departed and on time? Check... Baggage arrived at same airport as me at the same time? Check, check, check!!!

So you won't wait 3 hours for a response, I think Megan was supposed to be in the aisle seat and the lady was in it... she told Megan to sit elsewhere... even with empty seats I'd have been telling her to pound sand and move her lazy butt!

I suspect he's off enjoying his cruise because he hasn't posted on his own review in quite a while either...

OMG- THIS!!! Every time Greg tells us he's going for a 'BM' I have to remember to translate it into "Bloody Mary', not the other use of the acronym!!!

@MeganGC1983 @fethiyeden posted something interesting on the Tribe thread about getting compensation from BA... I won't repeat it all here, but basically said if BA messes up, they'll make it right! You may want to check out their post there...

Darn- doesn't matter what I do I'm never on your Live before the 2nd page! But I'm still here early so I'm good. Really excited for this review...

82,000 Bonvoy points for the night before our Virgin TA in October... YMMV. It was also $363 if you chose cash.

Yeah, my daughter is addicted to ketchup chips- personally I can't stand them! Now poutine! That is a thing of beauty, a small slice of heaven here on earth! If you ever have time to spend time in Montreal itself and not just the airport, I'll direct you to a place that makes the most heavenly poutine- topped with shredded chicken or beef!
