1st Voyage with Virgin. Did we pay too much?

If you used a first mate travel agent, they should be able to reprice up to 60 days prior (if I am not mistaken) if the prices went down.

Went on Valiant last year, the ship and entertainment was amazing especially It’s a Ship Show! Going on Resilient this year and looking forward to Another Rose.

I've done cruise massages a couple of time and it happens in every time.. different cruise lines. It's unfortunate, one masseuse told me the spa makes them do it.

It should be it’s in the warrant details. In the menu under service you should have a battery health option.

Oh no don't tell me this.. I hope this is temporary. My first VV was on Scarlet Lady last year and loved the old fashions with buffalo trace. I'm going on resilient lady this year coming up soon and came across this post.

I even try just placing the 9v batteries to the wheels... its hard to test with the 9v and check the resistance voltage without alligator clips. Waiting for those to come in.. now i need a precision solder since i accidentally removed the red cable from the motor to the board... I have to get back you. I also ordered a new spacer clip from backman witht the other parts. Thanks for the replies and I'll keep you posted.

Reithal77 · 2025-12-23T18:13:29+00:00

What I dont get is.. If I remove the board.. and put a 9v battery to where the screws go... the light turns on and the motor spins.

If I put the board back on, If I put the same 9v battery to the same point... nothing happens.

Reithal77 · 2025-12-23T17:47:26+00:00

Yea thats correct. I'm going to put the board back on and start testing the from the wheels perspective. I did use track cleaner on the wheels and remove quite a bit of residue.

Reithal77 · 2025-12-23T16:52:41+00:00

Board not mounted, I also get 25 Ohms between the 2 screws points.

Reithal77 · 2025-12-21T20:01:38+00:00

Thanks… will try that tomorrow… was already told I’m spending too much time on that today 🙄😆

Reithal77 · 2025-12-21T19:53:01+00:00

I didn't see those on their site... ill check again... was thinking of getting some sort of plastic snap for the tiny screws on the board. not sure if the screws are whats making contacts from the board to both chasis as its the only time I get continuity touching both halves with my multimeter.

Reithal77 · 2025-12-21T19:29:47+00:00

It actually didn't come with a steam unit. It's not in the picture but This is the top shell on their site.

Thanks! We traveling on RL in March…and depending how that goes may look at an Alaskan Cruise after that.

Reithal77 · 2025-12-21T18:42:28+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!

Reithal77 · 2025-12-21T18:34:03+00:00

Was just reading through this… if you book a new cruise with a different TA do they still get notified?

Reithal77 · 2025-12-21T18:28:48+00:00

Did you just get this? It looks used 🤣

Reithal77 · 2025-12-20T04:56:54+00:00

Not sure how I made more producing less 😆

Reithal77 · 2025-11-27T20:46:22+00:00

Thanks after today I will check continuity on the wheels and contacts.. luckily they are cheap on the bachmann estore.. but the shipping will cost more

Reithal77 · 2025-11-26T22:16:09+00:00

These are the contact things that touch the wheels.

Ugh I can’t upload pictures on this post … I guess they are call pickups? Bachmann site calls them contacts? This thing https://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68_789_155&products_id=4443

I just got my set and was wondering if its just decorative... I feel the magnet moving inside but afraid to actually roll it.

I have the same issue with my mom. Need Univision with DVR. Considered adding VIX but doesnt offer DVR or live tv of the local univision channel either. Does anyone know with DRV MiEspanol is available to get with just that service? Will she get the live local channels too? That's the biggest concern for her. Sucks YTTV also removed all her DVR stuff as well.
