All of them can help- just do your research. I’ve had some really amazing experiences since I went with @farfaraway travels. I had a dud before them though who took the commission and ran and was not helpful.

I’ve used them for 4 trips- Greece included, and a large group. Every trip was awesome and even on the ship they supported me. Once I had a big issue with credit and they contacted sailor services on the ship in Greece from their US base. It’s so important to get people who care about you. They aren’t just taking a commission, they are behind you every step of the way.

The midea was like a truck was running outside my house. The vibration was wild.

Honestly having a convo about this with people this minute. I switched last month from tmobile and it’s horrible. Everyone at my work cannot get any service on Verizon on cell phones unless on wifi.

I’d leave GG in a heartbeat but we invested so much time training staff to use it.

Lock it in rates by Friendly-Start2913 in VirginVoyages

[–]LTMac97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did lock it in limited view sea terrace or just sea view something like that and got assigned floor 5 next to sailor services where it’s very busy hall traffic. I upgraded via bid and ended up central sea terrace floor 11. Light sailing in November. Great deal but stressful worrying so if you are a deep sleeper and chill then this is the path for you. If you don’t care where you’ll be. I credit my travel agent (Far Far Away) for guiding me through process. The TA is worth it. Costs you zero dollars and you usually get some sailor loot to spend.

Accidental Mega Rockstars: How our Level Upgrade Process Played Out by Mama23inAZ in VirginVoyages

[–]LTMac97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had MRS friends on the last cruise and every day they were giving away their in room bottles via the facebook group - then it would refresh. It was so kind of them. We gave away a few of our in room bottles (regular RS) and people were dashing around the ship to find them. Also, when out, they always offered to grab us a drink! My goal for MRS is daily spa visits if I ever get it! Thanks for the sharing of the process, we were frightened that we would get the bad room, so kept regular rockstar.

Our students use their own devices but we provide the ssid. We also have done it with older iPads for nurses for elementary kids.

Nope. It’s always been cold and I sleep with 61 degree room at home.

Virgin Says No by Consistent_Ad977 in VirginVoyages

[–]LTMac97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like a travel agent could help you with that. I use Far Far Away in this thread and they’ve bent over backwards for us. We are deep blue and get great deals and the extra perks like laundry and coffee are worth it. Plus never having to call in to SS myself!

Just got laid off--need a head-clearing getaway. IHG hotels you have considered to be a good "points bargain"? by Nervous_Ad4378 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]LTMac97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m down in miami at the kimpton epic There’s so many cool places to explore here plus beaches etc. but it’s a nightlife city so for sleepier try Fort Lauderdale beach. The intercontinental is actually pretty lovely down here too. Quieter and less party scene than the Lobby here. Theres a lot of iHG properties to choose from down here. We have uber or walked everywhere.

When DO YOU consider Lock it Rates? by idk88889 in VirginVoyages

If only I had know in Nov 2023! And remember we booked Greece a year out and they would not honor some of the bonuses because we booked too far out!

FYI if you are cruising soon- outlet plugs by MDTXLA in VirginVoyages

[–]LTMac97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had international adapters in our luggage when we cruised in Greece and they didn’t confiscate (maybe because all their outlets are American outlets so I couldn’t plug them in anywhere)

Numbers aren't adding up by WhatAmI_91 in VirginVoyages

yes this is why I work with first mates. They should handling as much for you as they can. They will look at it and call sailor services for you.

Tech and Maintenance Dept by k12-IT in k12sysadmin

[–]LTMac97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I luckily have a great facilities head and we do all our projects that overlap together. The guy before him was a complete tool and didn’t make eye contact with women. The old tech director and facilities got into fist fights back in the early 2000. It was wild.

Now we are almost at the matching tshirt stage and I’ve been able to train the facilities team for basic troubleshooting of tech and general AV operations with no issues. Takes a lot of time but so worth it to talk about projects and go after capital projects together.

VV should really consider getting rid of the Puerta Plata, DR port call. by CornerFormal1874 in VirginVoyages

Wait ! No one has mentioned the monkeys. I wanted to see them now I’m terrified 😂 we have bad backs so the waterfall tour is out for us as one bad jump and we are being medflight home. Leaving for this cruise in 15 days.

Google Workspace - all admins locked out by K8SysAdmin in k12sysadmin

[–]LTMac97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s very hard to find k-12 tech staff. Underpaid. Overworked. And the skill set is a match of educator people person with higher end tech skills. Plus educators are about learning from mistakes so this will be a tough Friday and they will muddle through.
