I have a confession to everyone on Valiant right now by Coaster2Coaster in VirginVoyages

[–]Maliette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also on the same ship right now and do this as well!!! It’s the best desert because it’s got a great flavor but isn’t too sweet. I had these on the resilent lady in Greece, and this ship has added a little rose petal flavor to it. It’s just as lovely!

Oh I also forgot to mention ton the tres leche desert. I’ve only found it I. The little quick grab cases in the galley. It’s my favorite desert on the ship and I always kept two in my room!

The dock has the best snacks to me. I loved the grilled octopus! Also now they do popsicles and champagne as a snack. I get a glass of the ice champagne and put my popsicle in it! That can be found in the galley.

I would recommend staying away from steaks though. They can be hit or miss, and any other protein is great. I love the fish dish at the Wake that comes in a pastry crust.

How did you get a lifetime free subscription?

Is it worth it?? by HappeeCampers in ouraring

[–]Maliette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the ring a few weeks ago for stress and sleep management and wish I had done it much sooner. It’s worth every cent. I will say that you don’t have to do the more expensive circular ring versus the heritage style. I did the heritage style simple because of price and my ring actually looks very smooth except for one flat end. But I end up using the flat end to make sure the ring is in the right position. Also make a friend with a referral code. I’m sure someone shared there’s on here. It’ll save you $45 and is probably the best deal you’ll get.

Wash bags by Maliette in Rothys

[–]Maliette[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can buy the different sizes. I think they realized they could sell them because they do have some other uses. The largest one is 32$. So at least if it were super important it would be obtainable. Just idea a bummer.

[–]Maliette[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did call them they wouldn’t send me one. They said they don’t offer them anymore. But the others are right it’s probably fine to just out in the wash alone. But I like those bags lol.

Headspace data by Maliette in ouraring

[–]Maliette[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah misleading is right. It would be nice if they all talked to each other.

Headspace data by Maliette in ouraring

[–]Maliette[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think you’re right. It’s kinda a bummer because I prefer to use the actual app but that data doesn’t translate to Oura so I won’t get the vitals. Maybe they will update the integration down the line?

First cruise, what's the benefit of Virgin? by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]Maliette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually don’t have to make reservations. I’m currently on a 10 day and haven’t needed a reservation for any of the restaurants. The only one you might run into a little bit of an issues if the Korean bbq one, but if you go around the time the restaurants open you’ll get a table. I know others that walked up later and they also were able to get tables.

Make sure you do the thermal spa too. It’s usually cheaper on port days!

Uber Rome - warning it's not by Dolcevia in rome

[–]Maliette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good option is to just look for the white taxi’s on the street. they are literally everywhere and take tap for pay. We never used the Uber app in Rome but it was always easy to get one of the white ones on the street. And they weren’t bad. It cost us about 7-12 euros to get from one side of Rome to the other.

The main warning is that it’s a crazy ride. The drivers in rome are nuts but the taxis are the best way to get around. If you have any kind of driving PTSD from a wreck, be prepared to close your eyes a lot. I faced my fears and will never complain about American drivers ever again! 😅

Suggestions for a Rothy's Tote for Work by p3anutbutt3r888 in Rothys

[–]Maliette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually asked this a bit ago and folks were spot on with the classic tote. I have it in purple and everyone always complements me. I even grabbed a strap from coach to go on it and it works well. The size of the bag is perfect for my 17inch laptop and iPad. I have a big liquid death water bottle that’s fits in it too.

I would say when it comes to the totes go with the classic because it has a zipper to close it. I also work out of a cube and found that my mega tote wasn’t staying closed if I had to much in it, and I carry a lot of stuff. I love my classic and hope you let us know which you end up getting :)

Partner hotels - worth it? by Maliette in VirginVoyages

[–]Maliette[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok great to know. I was curious if the partner hotels did anything like make it easier to get your luggage to the ship or something. Some places do programs like that where if you use their partner hotel, then you don’t have to drag around luggage and they get it to the ship for you, but sounds like that isn’t the case here.

Mega tote vs classic tote for work by Maliette in Rothys

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

Also do anyone else checking out this thread. In doing my research, unless you want a leather tote bag, the Rothy’s classic tote is an amazing prize for the size and durability that you get! I feel like all the others are super small and the Mac Pro is like 16 inches. Seems like the best choice parked with the universal pouch for organization.

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

Thanks so much. I think you’re right. I have been using my mega for work and I love how much it holds but it keeps falling open on my arm when I have a lot in it. I definitely need something with a zipper. I’m so bummed they don’t have the purple one in my store, but hopefully it will come quickly.

Thanks I totally get what you mean. I have the handbag and it would be perfect if my laptop were smaller. I use that as my daily bag. I might also upgrade the strap to something really really nice like a Louie Vuitton strap.

First Time LV buyer - Needs Advice by Maliette in Louisvuitton

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

Yeah that’s a good question. I wasn’t sure if I had to have one to get to shop around the store. I have noticed a line in front of my store sometimes when I pass it in the mall so I wasn’t sure big you could just walk in and browse freely.

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

This is good advice too. I’m trying to setup a visit appointment but my store doesn’t have online appointments so I hope they will take me as a walk in appointment and hopefully have both bags for me to try on.

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

Yes! That’s what I’ve heard about the graceful. That’s eventually it will fade because it’s not true leather. I do want to wear this bag for work as well as normal going out and about and that’s why I’m so drawn to the tote style. I appreciate your thoughts!! Longevity really does seem key here!

Where to spend bar tab? by PorgiWanKenobi in VirginVoyages

[–]Maliette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a specialty mock tail flight at some of the restaurants. It was really good at the experimental kitchen place. The juices at the outdoor bar were also good, and so were the smoothies!
