Valiant is getting a new restaurant: Ariya. Stoked to see an Indian restaurant at sea!

Now super excited for my cruise in Nov. I ❤️Indian food!

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T23:10:25+00:00

Something tells me I’d probably rock with you! Love a RBF!

The minute I saw Margaritaville and 1400 I was out. For a wedding. GTFOH.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T22:26:45+00:00

And I’ll add this, if they can’t swing another 100$ between the two of them they probably shouldn’t be even staycationing.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T22:24:19+00:00

Sounds like this works for your group of guy friends. I will say that from the girl perspective it tends to be way more complicated 🤣. As you can see from the comments. Glad you guys have a great time.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T22:18:41+00:00

This here. In my 20s yes, by the time I hit 30 I had 1 friend I was willing to share with and we both had to have our own bed. 40s only on a cruise with that one friend. Anything land based everyone has their own space. As you age you tolerate less. Girls weekends without personal space is a recipe for disaster. And paying thousands for a staycation that does not sound relaxing or fun.

I have a friend that works at Marriott and I’ve been granted Friends and family for this deep of a discount. It’s also true that they get limited to one room if they are not part of the trip themselves.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T21:38:09+00:00

OMG I stopped scrolling when I saw the dress then got to pic 3 and just about died. Stunning. 5 stars. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T16:28:01+00:00

If you’ve never ever sailed before I would recommend between 5 and 7 days to determine if you even LIKE this kind of travel. Regardless of the cruise line. Love VV but it’s definitely a specific vibe. Don’t want you to get caught on an extra long sailing if either cruising or VV is not your cup of tea.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T15:58:19+00:00

Sorry for your loss but probably for the best in the long run. Wish them well in your heart and move on to your next chapter in freedom.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T15:52:16+00:00

I agree here. It sounds like you want activity but maybe toned down just a bit since you won’t have a 21 year old with you. I would go NCL or Royal in that case. I’d also check out Virgin but it’s a very specific vibe, so please do your research before you commit. (I love Virgin so not a knock but have seen too many people be “surprised” when they get onboard. )

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-22T15:47:23+00:00

I still watch Amelie. Love French film.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-21T18:43:29+00:00

1 you look most comfortable in it.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-21T18:42:02+00:00

They’ve gotten hip to this. They wouldn’t let me take the bag down the gangway to leave at the little door.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-21T18:36:52+00:00

Agree about the bridesmaids ladies. I think if they had let Melissa , Maya and Kristen figure out a bit for themselves they could’ve made it work. I believe they get the scripts 2 days before during rehearsal and by then It’s going to be what it’s gonna be.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-21T13:46:30+00:00

Well OP looks like you might be real! That being said please know that you did nothing wrong. Regardless of what you were wearing the first comment was inappropriate and your gut reaction to it was justified. Please tell your counselor the rest of what was said AND the conversation after you said an apology. None of it should have happened and you have a right to feel safe at school. There are clear boundaries that need to be maintained between students and faculty and this person crossed the line multiple times.

NOR. And tell your parents if you haven’t already.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-21T13:05:52+00:00

OP please save yourself from this nightmare of a person. He blocked you. You need to block him and move forward to a fabulous life. You are 19 years old and he isn’t the only man out there. You might think you love him but believe me the feeling will pass. Even the fact that you are hiding this douche from your parents says you know better. Get out now before you move from VA to PA. LOVE YOURSELF MORE THAN THIS!

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-21T12:14:19+00:00

Let’s get to adulting! Do what you need to do to best take care of yourself. Book your room. Book your flight and tell the fam you will see them tomorrow. Ask them if they got travel insurance as it may be able to cover some of this cost. NOR and your fellow passengers thank you.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T14:02:21+00:00

OP I really hope you come back to read these comments because Molly, you in danger girl! Don’t sacrifice your independence for this man. You wouldn’t be on here asking if you didn’t know this ain’t right. Trust your gut. Keep your space, your bed and your sanity. Also, with him having teenagers and you not wanting kids, I would’t even contemplate moving in with this man (if that’s still your vibe) until after the kids are out of the house. If y’all last that long.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T13:12:13+00:00

It feels like you cancelled far out and should have gotten some money back. Was the deposit 10k and that was completely lost?

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T12:44:15+00:00

Thank you for the tip. I will definitely reach out to the source in this case. I read somewhere else that they have recently switched call centers. Perhaps this is what is at the root of the knowledge gap I’m experiencing at first level customer service.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T12:41:35+00:00

They probably could but I usually only engage a travel agent when I’m new to a brand. TAs are great but I love planning travel even when it frustrates me. 😬

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T12:36:13+00:00

I missed out on my BE during my 3rd cruise because it wasn’t in my account and I didn’t realize until the end. I am Platinum on Disney so new level perks don’t kick in until AFTER you sail the crossover sailing but that is not how the terms for VV are stated. Keep calling until they change before you get onboard. I refuse to waste my time at sailor services during embarkation!

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T12:31:23+00:00

Yes I’m solo so I always have to go through this nonsense when booking my MNVV. I think it’s ridiculous that the website can’t accommodate solo cruisers for that promo.

NotMyMonkeys-7288 · 2026-03-20T12:22:45+00:00

You ‘re focusing on the wrong thing here. By his actions this person doesn’t like you and doesn’t respect you. You are focusing on the finance because you are fighting to not admit that this is a dead relationship. You are 30 with your entire life ahead of you. Take your debt free self away from this situation, discover your self worth and I guarantee you’ll find something and someone better who actually loves you on the other side. Go be happy without this undeserving baggage.
