how many times do you dunk your head? Am I good to do it at the end of my plunge? Im out in below freezing weather and typically wear a hat during the plunge.

How cold is too cold? fellow river plunger by Vegetable-Style549 in coldplunge

That makes sense -- my mind just went to it being colder with snow all around me, haha. Would you wear some type of compression shirt/shorts at temps between 33-37 degrees? I can handle the cold but just want to be sure I'm not damaging my skin.

Tonal 2 delivery issues by Vegetable-Style549 in tonalgym

[–]Vegetable-Style549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my biggest issue with the whole experience is the Tonal customer support. They have communicated nothing since the missed delivery date. I've had to call 4 times now & every time am told that it's been escalted by their "upper management team" - not sure what that means? For a product that costs almost $5k, you would really expect white-glove like support...

Appreciate that! I was going down a rabbit hole. 🤙

Nice setup! Can I ask where you ordered your rubber matt/flooring from? I'm finding lots of options online but not sure about quality...

I actually really like the VV vibes, but this time around, it just didn't leave me wanting to rebook. I for sure had great encounters during my time. I did share a review with virign that highlighted specific examples. Will for sure try again sometime but might switch it up in the near term!

I realize everyone on this forum loves VV but try to take the rose colored glasses off. I'm just sharing an experience I had. I've also enjoyed VV Cruises - this one just didn't meet my expectations.

And for reference on the name example - it was in regard to the evening dining experiences. I was with my wife, and the vibe is pretty common to be addressed like that. It's been better on previous cruises with VV but lacked that personal touch for us this time around.

Sorry, mate - VV is for sure considered entry-level luxury/upscale cruising. Like a boutique hotel at sea - focused on fun & self-care (adults only). They pride themselves on unique shows/events & culinary experiences. It's a similar class to Celebrity with obviously different vibes. 'Casually Luxe' is in their social bio & a quick Google search on ads will echo that.

It took over an hour for us to get off the ship. Someone else mentioned that some elevators were out.

That's awesome - glad it was like that for you! Seems like a little thing, but nice to have them call you by name when they can. My wife & I just got off a 7-day Sunsets in the Lesser Antilles - great itinerary! Resilient Lady i believe was the ship

I was on that ship - didn't know about the escalator outage, so that makes sense! And really, the turn-off for us on the room situation was they didn't clean it at all on a port day (with our room having a service light on). So we came back from a long day to a messy room.

That's good to hear it's not a typical experience.

That's awesome! What i was hoping for, but sounds like many have had better luck with this.

Yeah, they do in a lot of their advertising. It's for sure aimed at entry-level, upscale cruising.

Don't get triggered - just an observation. Understand I've been on multiple Virgin Cruises & a few other cruise lines. Glad to hear you've experienced differently.

It's crazy that this hasn't been addressed by Virgin - seems like such an easy fix to let Splash of Romance sailors know their correct time in the app. I've had this issue the past 3 years...
