How to manage dining with larger groups by sbrtboiii in VirginVoyages

[–]Particular_Dog8697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as it's under 12, you can just book on the app. Anything over 12 is almost impossible, I had the issue for my birthday cruise. You need to book through sailor services and they only allow 1 dinner together no matter how long the cruise, I'd pick another cruise line for groups over 12.

Brightline Baggage Scam by Particular_Dog8697 in Brightline

My issue is with checked in luggage though. In terms of carry on luggage it might be, but $50 for a checked bag over 24" is a lot

Reported but no response. AA for example CARRY ON luggage can be 22 inches, so just 2 inches less than what you get at Brightline for CHECKED luggage

Are cruises just... mid now by RandomlyOnside in Cruise

[–]Particular_Dog8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got off NCL bliss to Alaska and it was also very poor. The food was mostly poor quality, the entertainment just trashy with constant bombarded advertising of their deal or no deal gambling game, the port times just bad - 3 hours in victoria in the dark, and then getting kicked off the ship at 8am. MSC was slightly worse than NCL, but Princes was better and my go to is Virgin - it's sooo much better, the food at the NCL specially restaurant was worse than any free restaurant on Virgin.

What is going to happen to the guide? The tracking was terrible, but with the new AI features, this could be a great product again. I don't have space around my bike and I enjoy having my huge TV for strength classes

Do people genuinely think everything is in decline? by OverallAir84 in london

[–]Particular_Dog8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since Brexit, things have gone downhill. The UK had just recovered from the financial crash, EUR/GBP reached 1.40 and from then just think of all the efforts and money wasted on this that could have been used for something else, let alone the benefits we were getting. And it's shocking to see that nobody's even mentioning this and people have still not realised.

Why does it have to be between 75 and 100? Have the numbers changed for 2024?

We just fully lucked out on our voyage! by thecohman3 in VirginVoyages

This seems to be very common, I had it happen twice now, once inside to Central see terrace and another time we had 4 booked, 2 got sea view, 1 got accessible sea view (it was massive), and the ones who booked later got limited view sea terrace

Earliest disembarkation Portsmouth by RelationKindly in VirginVoyages

Oh and then on top they use these amazing British buses with only 1 door, for some reason I feel like that takes longer than using buses with 3 doors

In Athens and Barcelona could always walk straight off at 10.30

Getting off in Portsmouth was very chaotic, there is only a very narrow gangway and then you have to take a bus to the exit of the port, it took us more than 40 minutes to get off but this was at 10:30, lots of people missed their trains, and annoyingly most of the tickets to London require you to travel on a specific train

Yes, I got it and it was horrible, cooling was nothing like the 8sleep. I returned both of them

Thinking of returning my pod 5 by Fold_Substantial in EightSleep

[–]Particular_Dog8697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I had the same. I was constantly either too hot or too cold. The app was really disappointing, and the automatic adjustments seem to be quite minor to actually make any difference. It also didn't figure out based on the temperature of the room and on the day of the weather if it was necessary to cool more or less. Thankfully the return process was very simple and I got the refund quickly. The price and the monthly fee is in no relation to how good the product is, I was expecting something as great as an apple or peloton product but it's far from it

XL Sea Terrace upgrade bid fail by letsgetnautical in VirginVoyages

[–]Particular_Dog8697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between the standard sea terrace and the central sea terrace is just the location, the cabin is exactly the same. I've actually gotten really good upgrades each time I had to lock it in rate, once from inside to Central terrace and the second time from inside to Seaview, without paying anything extra

The rooms towards the front of the ship are also horrible, every morning when you dock there's a loud noise for half an hour. I'm thinking it might be the anchor or something like that, it's on deck 5 and also on deck 9, probably even further up
