Does Virgin have an all inclusive drink package?
@TravelwithWendy20 күн бұрын
Actually no, BUT... they do have an opportunity to purchase SAILOR LOOT, which we did a promo for about $600 for the week and didn't go through it all. We aren't heavy drinkers and you can always add to your sailor loot. I love how VV does this because if you travel with a second sailor they don't "make them" get a drink package if they don't want one, it goes to the individual not the cabin 👍

Hi Wendy - I'm based in the UK and I'm training to be a TESOL teacher! (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I thought you might like to know that I used your KZbin video in one of my classes with intermediate level English students. They loved learning a bit more about Dublin through your words and I was able to use a transcript of your video to help show authentic uses of the Past Simple tense. :D Thanks for your content and I wish you well on your travels!

Maybe you can clear up a question I have and get several answers: do you tip the CIE driver/tour guide? Since it's not a tipping culture, some say no, some say yes, a small amount, and some say a significant sum.....
@TravelwithWendy7 ай бұрын
Great question and thanks for watching - we absolutely tipped our guide who was super appreciative and thankful - we did about €10 per day per person, and yes certainly not a tipping culture like the states but the EU is 10-15% in most places for great service. Really over the top tipping 20% you don’t really see anywhere 👍
