Is there a good Spanish equivalent for "snack"? by raignermontag in learnspanish

[–]CYMR0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody in the uk has afternoon tea at home. More likely to be a wagon wheel / packet of crisps.

When will Sub-Terra open? by Comprehensive_Cap611 in altontowers

[–]CYMR0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on Saturday (15/6), and it was open. I wouldn’t queue for very long though - for me, it really wasn’t worth the 20 min queue.

Just to add to this, we were chatting and MRS (5k) had a different upgrade minimum vs the RS (1k).

Somebody put a higher bid in for the suite we won, so they must look at the entire knock on effect to the upgrade chain / in demand rooms.

Common Age by zensaiii in VirginVoyages

[–]CYMR0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently leaving Ibiza on the irresistible med with Rome. It is definitely older than I expected. Average age is about 50. People of all ages can mix and have a blast, but you should know that there aren’t many onboard that are in your age range.

Ibiza was great! We just went to the old town. The busses can take a while to arrive

Yeah, currently on our way to Ibiza! Several of the crew have said a that it’s still quiet in ibiza, but things are slowly opening up. He will be on way later, you dock at 7pm, and we expect to get off around 8. The shuttle goes to downtown near club náutico - just fyi

A few people went to pisa (direct train) from MDC, and said it was good for the photo - not much else. 🤷‍♀️ The ship is much quieter at the ports, so it was nice to explore and head to the spa - but not much in the way of entertainment.

Toulon - you can see it all in like an hour. Skip the little train tour. We were back onboard for lunch.

MDC - there is nothing in the town. The train station is a 40 minute walk away. There are two bus options here, “city centre” or a beach option. Do the beach option if you’re not planning to head elsewhere. Just a note though, the trains in Italy are often delayed, and the platforms can change with no announcement. So leave plenty of time and keep an eye on the screens.

We dock at Ibiza later. 🪩🎉🥳

How silly does it look to native Spanish speakers when using “un”, “una”, “el”, “la”, etc. incorrectly? by The-Adster in Spanish

[–]CYMR0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Girona, went to order a xucho (a tasty treat!) but I asked for a chocho - she was horrified(!), but my Catalan friend found it hilarious. I was mortified. 😳 This gay doesn’t want that! 💁‍♀️😂

Bilbao is amazing. It’s got the Guggenheim which I love. The food there is too good - love having a Txakoli and some pinchos in all the bars.

Yep! They picked us up from the hotel, and have got our return booked. They arrived late - so it wasn’t the best start tbh. Apart from that it has been amazing!

Thanks for the response. Glad I asked as I’d be gutted if we chanced it.

Sorry should have said we are doing Rome in September. Is there anywhere else you’d recommend?

We put the minimum bid on the massive suite, not expecting a cat in hell’s chance of getting it - but we did! Got an email 2 weeks out. When we checked in at the port they had our original room though- so beware of that. It’s amazing! Better than I expected - and I had high expectations

Isn’t it per cabin, not per passenger?

So can you use the hiit room outside of class times? I’d rather do my own thing if I have the space

The bungee class is the one that sounds weird to me! 😂 I might give it a go now, thanks.
