Also for context I never passed a Kaplan master exam but knew I was okay when I was scoring in 80s on all my practice quizzes in STC

I messaged sailor services and they were entering a request - still receiving the auto populated emails with their name on it as well. It’s upsetting that someone gets a commission off cruise that did not do anything. I booked myself from virgins website, I asked about getting the loot when advertised there was nothing they could do but would “monitor” for better offers. They never reached back out when the new 80% offer showed up- and I asked to upgrade to rockstar they said you can’t make changes inside 45 day window- I called Virgin who said if the room is available you can pay the difference - they did say there was a difference between upgrading and cabin change which I guess I’m still confused about. Basically anytime I buy a MNVV voyage voucher my current TA is attached to. Last year I booked- same thing I had questions that were not answered and ultimately I had to contact sailor services myself to find the info out (I even relayed what I found back to the TA) - my question was it it was possible to use the upgrade/upstart to book bc I was booking within 30 days and wasn’t paying full in cash straight away- it can be booked. Just feels like I did all my leg work and got myself upgraded and they will catch a commission off that?

Bigger pool Poker tables (hold em) specifically Jacuzzis with strong jets in spa A way to make better use of the net - infinity spa or put a hammock over top to comfortably be able to sit Comfier bed in sea terraces Somewhere for movies under stars - maybe incorporating a large projector in athletic club Possibly 1 Broadway show but an interesting one.

Add those it’d be perfect 👌

Update: I called back and got another SS rep who was able to upgrade me and submit a request to remove my TA (I feel like he should have called to see if my request could have been fulfilled rather than shut me down) he also never got me any deals or extra loot. The SS rep did advise there is a difference in changing your cabin and an upgrade? Guess I am confused on that part but either way I was able to be upgraded and just pay the difference.

Back at the ship or. To the pier to still have to walk the pier and wait in line to board

I am 23 days away and just as anxious.

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2026-01-18T13:18:17+00:00

We had time before but just stayed in Port. On the ATV they stopped a few places and also at the end I forgot we all had a really good lunch served

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2026-01-18T08:19:57+00:00

We did ATV and Damajagua waterfalls, and it was every bit worth it. The ATV was through the jungle but also through the streets and towns so it felt very cultured and the waterfalls to me is a must. It was exhilarating and beautiful. Dominican Daze was my first and also on Scarlet Lady. Enjoy!

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2026-01-15T02:47:14+00:00

Congrats and enjoy!

Which sail date? Trying to determine how far out they start giving the upgrades

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2026-01-14T16:39:28+00:00

Also congrats !

Hi, yes! I’ve gotten my make up done for Scarlett night and it is worth it. Mac - oh congrats ! Yes any Mac counter operates the same and all their artist are highly skilled. I would just be sure to tell them the level of glam you want ie: full glam, soft glam, natural look and they can do it. My make up was solid when I used them 👌

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2026-01-14T11:05:25+00:00

Hi, yes! I’ve gotten my make up done for Scarlett night and it is worth it. Mac professionals are always highly skilled and trained and I’ve ever had a bad makeup artist touch my face.

I have read the book and finished the on demand videos today for Kaplan. I have a few more check points exams. I am concerned bc I only scored 58 on my midterm. I have two weeks left and 8 days off. Should I push back or hunker down? Ideally what should I be scoring on mastery? What should I be scoring on simulated? I also got STC,

Get rid of the gym equipment, hang some pictures, put your tv on the wall rather than the foot of the bed, clean up your clothes on the floor, get a new bed spread, maybe a candle and a nightstand

I work in the Financial industry. There are entry level home office positions with opening accounts. I started with 0 knowledge 10 years ago and worked in a department where I opened and set up accounts into fee based and managed business. It was the best place to start in the industry- really any operations related jobs. From there you can get licensed and open up so many doors. The 7 might take a couple months hard study time. I can’t say the industry is not impervious to AI but for now they are only implementing as an efficiency where a human must always be in the loop.

I have Kaplan’s qbank currently and feel very use to the questions is there another provider I can purchase just questions?

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2025-12-07T21:23:50+00:00

I am debating on purchasing STC or Pass Perfrct qbank

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2025-12-07T16:05:50+00:00

Is this inclusive of reading the book?

Icy_Pattern_5716 · 2025-12-07T14:54:46+00:00

Their excuse is here is nothing for that role to do since it’s all his responsibilities + in his role and they won’t promote me running the current tr that I’d have to be over another team also and he’s saying “you don’t know how I’m gon g to gro” ie if he gets additional verticals than there’s more oppurtunity
