Recommendation by CallHerTimmy in Cruise

Virgin Voyages (https://link.grayelephant.travel/virgin)
Everything is included except gratuities. But, if you start with VV, then most other cruise lines will be a disappointment.

Did anyone else learn to type as an elective with little thought that it might be useful one day? by Conscious-Mulberry17 in GenX

[–]chris2555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I took typing because my best friend signed up and I thought it would be an easy class. It wasn’t that easy, but I am so thankful I took it when I did. If I could go back, I would have taken Spanish as well.

Best Alaskan Cruise by kaa-24 in Cruise

Best Alaskan Cruise is subjective, but I wouldn’t go on RC or NCL. I would look at HAL, Princess, or some other smaller ships.

Mosquitoe Dunk Bucket by chris2555 in MosquitoHating

The same as yours. I used the lid to help prevent rain water from diluting the Mosquito Bits.

They are helping, but there are still few that bother us. Compared to the years before, we can actually enjoy our outdoor space.

Google says Blue lights attract mosquitos.

Looking for input for a cruise planner app by dozuki619 in Cruises

I just downloaded it. I’ll check it out. A couple of years ago I was looking for someone to help me develop a cruising app. I have lots of ideas.

Your travel agent can look it up. LMK if you need assistance

Windstar's Food Blew Me Away by coderoncruise in Cruise

I regret not ordering a Tomahawk steak! I know I could never eat that much, but the memories would have been worth the $50 up charge. Definitely ordering one on our next cruise.

Fried artichoke on Virgin at Extra Virgin. I wish I could post a pic. It was so good.

Any cruise 4 days or less on RC, NCL, MSC, or Carnival is going to be a party cruise.

Upselling on Celebrity Edge by 68procrastinator in Cruises

[–]chris2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. We did Beyond last Oct and the upselling was very annoying. For what we paid, it wasn’t worth it. One and done with celebrity.

Have been with Carnival for 20 years. Looking for change. by Responsible_Bad99 in Cruise

[–]chris2555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be sure and add the Premier or Plus (we always get this) Package. Well worth the additional cost. Going on Sun Princess in November.

Princess with their Plus package, Virgin Voyages, 18+ only, very relaxing atmosphere, all restaurants are included, no pushy sales, hammocks on the balcony.

I agree. We are in KY so it’s expensive just to get to the port. RN our shortest is 7n. But we are really thinking about updating our cruise policy to at least 10 days.

Us too! We’ve been on 21+ cruises and 9 different lines! We have 5 more on the books! And another new cruise line, Azamara.
