I still can't believe that out of everyone who might run across this, that someone who was actually "there" would see it... My Virgin Voyages cruise has already been cancelled and rebooked three different times now, and God willing, the Carnival Mardi Gras cruise will happen in November, although there are rumors that it's going to be cancelled due to delays at the shipyard... hi Sid, how much choice did you have for a solo on VV? when I go to VV it's not avail on every cruise or it's a high $$$ cabin. Are you getting Fcc for cancels? thanks fun review! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe one was 900 plus taxes for the 4 night, and 1,125 plus taxes for the five night... I did end up getting the 200% credit when the first one cancelled. I had paid a total of $1500 at the time, and ended up with $3000 in credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look you will see many cabins n/a to solos and they steer you to higher end/cost cabins. Have you heard what comp you are getting if you book now and they cancel? Might be worth taking a gamble, you either sail(which is great) or you get some sort of fcx or they go under and you lose all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have been pretty rough on this new cruise line already, and I hope they make it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m921759 Posted June 27, 2020 #36 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hey Sid, great review, thank you. I’m curious about the Smoke and Fire, do you remember more details, ingredients, methods? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious about the Smoke and Fire, do you remember more details, ingredients, methods? I'm not completely sure, but it had jalapeno infused tequila, mezcal, lime, and a couple more items... Marc Mcarthur went on to win several mixology contests with this, and other unique creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted July 10, 2020 Author #42 Share Posted July 10, 2020 While in the British Virgin islands, we saw the largest sailing vessel on earth... It was pretty huge, for a sailboat... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted July 10, 2020 Author #47 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Then there was the time I decided to eat cake in the hot tub... Because it was there... Then there was Clarense AKA Cowboy, back in his favorite place: the five o'clock somewhere bar... He really loved working here, before they transferred him to manning the mojito bar... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
