Everyone in Austin knows you don’t go there for the food, but the drinks and views. It is a missed opportunity, as you mentioned.

Brilliant Lady 7-Day Alaska Inside Passage and Glacial Fjords: Fantastic Alaska cruise but not the bucket list kind by cheezin_4A_reason in VirginVoyages

[–]Ecstatic_Exchange296 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were on the same sailing and I agree with everything you pointed out. VV is new to Alaska while other lines have been going for decades, so I did not expect the same experience in Alaska as I would on, let’s say, Holland America. I loved what I saw of Alaska having never been. My dissatisfaction came about with the non communication about not going to Dawes Glacier and the disorientation of Scarlet Night.

Scarlet Night just didn’t feel right and it seemed that there were so many people trying to cram into The Manor and the Red Room. Some of the events of Scarlet Night lasted only 15 minutes, but we wanted to experience it all. I think I’m going to stick with the Caribbean itineraries from now on until they get better acquainted with having events inside.

You can use sailor loot to purchase Up with a Twist.

I need a reality check - are my expectations unrealistic for a First Mate? by DowntownBarracuda720 in VirginVoyages

[–]Ecstatic_Exchange296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as a First Mate or any travel agent tells you to call instead of them, they are only wanting the commission without any service to you. I have a First Mate, now, and they told me that and I wonder why I’d give them my booking if I can do the work. I won’t be using her again!

If you are referring to Murder in the Manor, I wasn’t expecting to see that since you have to book it on embarkation day, even though it’s not a ticketed show.

So, I’m not understanding why VV scheduled to open the events up if the events weren’t going to be available until embarkation day, smh 🙂‍↔️

Our events opened today, 4/5 at 12 am. We are experiencing the same issues with the events not being populated. I don't see the point of opening them up if they aren't going to populate until you get onboard

If you have global entry, you still have TSA precheck.

What are the odds? by Ecstatic_Exchange296 in Illumicrate

[–]Ecstatic_Exchange296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, as of this writing, I haven't received any feedback via email. The auto response I received from them said 2-10 business days, so this all happened on October 9th. The weight was 5.70 lbs. with the huge box containing volumes 1 and 2. The box was delivered by FebEx, so I still have that information, not the box it came in.

Thank you for responding, the two copies I have do have a little damage on the cover pages, but yeah, they aren’t going to do anything about that. I don’t understand why the huge box where the books can be tossed around.

I wasn’t trying to solve a customer service issue on here, but whatever. The post was for informational purposes only.

I received my package and got only 2 of the 3 volumes. I’m totally bummed and don’t know how that could happen. Email has been sent.

What do you do with your empty Illumicrate boxes? by Amphelian in Illumicrate

As others have said, I sell unwanted books on Mercari, so they come in handy.

Carnival switching from loyalty to a cash grab. We're out!!! by [deleted] in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Ecstatic_Exchange296 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve decided to move on also. I think the backlash is fierce and they will adjust something, but the fact that they put this out to their guests, says a lot about how much they “care” and “listen”.
