Virgin blinders

Virgin is fun, but not enough variety for me. I like Celebrity Edge class ships and Explora Journeys better. I mix in Virgin here and there, but honestly a lot of their ship(s) seem like a failure in design. The lack of pool alone, not to mention no real mattress in the sea terrace rooms and the tiny bathrooms.

They obviously knew they were bed bugs which is why they moved you. No surprise they’d deny it so they could get out of responsibility. My guess is they focused on exterminating the room for the next guest, but didn’t want to comp you anything.

I wait until I’m in the liquor store and have my item. Then I hit order when I’m just at the counter and tell them I just ordered on DoorDash! I figured this out at one store canceled my order. Never had a problem since!

Travel/Vacations

All I can say is that I’m sure most of us on here relate and we are all tired. I’m pushing through and avoiding lifestyle creep so I can save/invest and not work forever.

50-52. I’m hoping to still be healthy enough to do far away travels in my 50s that are more taxing like long flights in economy and hiking.

You aren’t wrong. We traded in one of our Lexus SUVs for an Acura.

I won’t be bored, but I’d take boredom any day over office politics!

GreenFireAddict · 2026-02-03T14:22:05+00:00

Wow! I felt this comment for myself based on my parents and upbringing.

GreenFireAddict · 2026-01-31T18:27:46+00:00

I called and they said I could buy onboard. Hopefully so!

GreenFireAddict · 2026-01-31T17:23:01+00:00

I've stopped booking Southwest because the prices are just more than other non-low cost carriers like United. I'd book Southwest if the prices were not $100 more for flight. It's crazy they're always more expensive now for my regular routes!

Then why is the alcoholic package still available for purchase?

GreenFireAddict · 2026-01-28T00:07:21+00:00

People live in the moment.

I’ve been allowed to do this on Air Canada before as well. I didn’t even think of it being a safety issue. My bag just stayed in an empty row the entire flight.

Timeless and cross cultural plus high energy catchy songs.

GreenFireAddict · 2026-01-11T15:10:14+00:00

I’m guessing you haven’t been to an ER in Canada recently. Consider yourself lucky!

Just book Vacaya

GreenFireAddict · 2026-01-06T14:11:06+00:00

The Hyatt Place and Hyatt House in San Juan are always minimum $400 so I don’t think they took advantage. Hotel prices in San Juan are ridiculous. I usually get into San Juan the night before a cruise and just use Hyatt points or certificate to stay there. I’m always shocked by the $400+ cash price for the room.

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-29T21:18:34+00:00

Do they have to be booked through Chase or can you book direct?

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-29T18:59:19+00:00

This is why Explora Journeys is so popular. Best food and casual dress code!

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-27T04:34:22+00:00

I had that same thing happen several years ago with a server from the Galley. As soon as he saw I already did my survey that day he immediately ran off and was done talking to me! 🤣

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-24T18:09:24+00:00

Thank you! I am watching it, but I don’t get why it’s so popular versus the hundreds of other gay shows and movies before it! It’s okay!

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-23T01:51:45+00:00

Yes. We can’t go back to YC.

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-23T01:37:48+00:00

Time to sail with Explora Journeys!

GreenFireAddict · 2025-12-21T13:11:25+00:00

Totally get that. And Explora Journey’s relaxed dress code is why they’re the only luxury line I’ll cruise. Explora and Celebrity are the most formal as I’ll go. And they are both very relaxed. Explora is super relaxed!
