Morning campers. Just wondering if anyone has received a 500 point credit from Nectar yet following a Marriott stay? I’ve had a couple since the arrangement and so far nada.

When is a window not a window?

Rob, I spotted you and Conny from afar on Brilliant Lady last evening. That was a great way to use some Virgin miles!
We were impressed with the food at the Italian restaurant. All the staff and crew were so helpful and friendly throughout the day, and reminded me why I used to love flying with Virgin.

Nectar app had a 100 points bonus to celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend (?!) when I opened it last night. Not a huge amount, but to quote a different supermarket – every little helps

I second that. My wife and I live in Portsmouth and an afternoon and evening on Brilliant Lady was a lovely experience and very good use of virgin points. The ship was impressive, the Extra Virgin Italian restaurant food was great and all staff were very friendly and welcoming. And we had the pleasure of meeting Rob and his wife in person which as an HFP fan was a pleasure.
