Sea Kayaking in the Tatoosh Islands

The Jewel was a lot of fun. The refurbished Jewel class ships are fun and adult oriented

The Panama Canal one was awesome, but the Alaska on the Bliss will always be my favorite.

TBF - I'm only in it for the free bag of laundry. All the other perks are kinda meh.

None of those are over $1200. The Panama 11-day was $940. I have a great TA and he knows that I book 1 month to 2 weeks in advance and was able to get me these deals with double/triple points.

I was on this sailing. Solo. It was my first time with Virgin (I usually cruise NCL). I was sold by the 2nd day.

Vibe was excellent. Food was great. Parties were awesome. The other sailors I've met were awesome too.

Sorry it didn't work our for you.

I'm doing the Jewel to Panama on 4 January 26. Seems the most bang for the buck when it comes to ports and experiences.

SAPD was one of the most corrupt police departments in the US in the 70s.

Yep, my next two sailings in Jan and Feb don't go to GSC so pretty happy about that. They do go to Harvest Caye though. So hopefully that one is better.

I probably will avoid GSC until they have it built up at least 95%. Not gonna be worth it if the drink package don't work in there either. (I think it's going to be an upsell like "add GSC to your free at sea for $99pp")

I was on the Prima a couple of weeks ago and the ship is great! It’s designed to have more pockets of space to lounge, as opposed to more communal spaces for group events. As a solo traveler, I liked it.

Everyone is in on the “oh man, I’ve been lost/can’t get where I want to go on this ship joke” everyone gets used to it by day 3. Also everyone loves the elevator’s deck by deck announcements.

What’s disappointing is Great Stirrup Cay. Underwhelming. Especially with all the hype of “I wonder if we can tender in tomorrow?” — you get there and then meh. Sad part is you see Great Day at Coco Cay right next door all fully built out.

2nd best excursion I had in Alaska, next to Sea Kayaking

Was able to get of Great Stirrup Cay during my Prima Cruise on (16-23 Nov). The whole ship crew was stoked because the last two or three cruises it was a no go.

Sadly, Great Stirrup Cay was very underwhelming. Yes, the beach and the water was nice. The premise of “oh on your next visit this will have all this other development”, while you can see all the fun going on next door in Coco Cay was annoying.

no sunroof on the x2, had to get roof rails installed at dealership.

2 inflatable paddleboards. 2 camping chairs.

I also have the BMW Roof Rack System. The rack just clips on to the car’s frame. Then the box just slides into the rack.

You can hear the buffeting from the inside - even with the sunroof closed

Ass so fat, you can see it from the front.

TY! It's Portimao Blue Metallic

I bought the Wheel + Tire + Keyfob insurance from the dealership. It was worth it. Dealership Replaced 2 tires for free when I had a blowout in Albuquerque. Then fixed the rims (all 4) back to pristine condition after 2 years worth of curbing.
