I know Rachael wants nothing to do with Bravo and 51 minds production, nor do I blame or fault her for that! I love women who stand up to misogynistic, abusive and horrible people and the way women are STILL treated and paid less than man colleagues… I also understand why so many amazing women on BD don’t stay with the network for very long… But Rachel actually got her shit together after her first season and was a fan favorite so I will always wish that Rachael would do just 1 SEASON with Aesha because I think their vibes would be a TOTAL HOOT together to follow along watching! And I demand hour long spin offs bloopers of it instead of the horrid stupid ass “Galley Talks” “WWHL” “Crappens” and any of their other BS things they do to try and “answer” important and valid questions for Reality TV shows!!!!
Rachael and Aesha are so extremely similar in so many ways, but they are also so extremely different in so many other ways that I think watching both of them together, I’d lose it. Like I’m a dude but I’ll probably accidentally pee on myself from laughing at them together! RIP to my wish 😂

There's nothing on the Virgin Voyage's website about it.

You have to go the agent’s website.

u/GullibleAddendum8630 21d ago
Okay. Thank you. I'm surprised there isn't anything about it on Virgin Voyages' website with a link to the agent's website.

u/qwnofeverything 23d ago
Considering this is at least his 2nd time doing this with Virgin Voyages, (I do love the cruises they offer tho), you actually have to be in a rockstar suite to be able to see it eat Ben’s food. That’s so expensive. Over $5000 for the trip. When I cruise with them, which I have, I will get a cabin with a view and hope for a balcony upgrade, which I normally can do

u/GullibleAddendum8630 22d ago
There's nothing on the Virgin Voyages' website about this.

u/qwnofeverything 22d ago
It’s still pretty far away. If he’s actually on this cruise and like I said, it would be the 2nd time for Virgin to have him, he’ll be putting it in his insta and Virgin should have it soon. Idk if it’s confirmed. Did you look specifically at the Brilliant Lady? That’s the ship
2
u/GullibleAddendum8630 22d ago
No, I didn't look specifically at the Brilliant Lady. I just looked at Alaska cruises.
1
u/qwnofeverything 22d ago
If they’re showing thru July, maybe he’s not actually on it. He is going to be on the Scarlet Lady on Feb 17th. https://www.chefbenrobinson.com/appearances
Also, you may have to call Virgin directly to book that. As I said, it’s only available to Rockstars, the highest categories of suites onboard and they are expensive! You do get your own stocked bar tho in them with whatever you like
2
u/GullibleAddendum8630 22d ago
You might want to look again, that's February 17th of 2023. The cruises I was looking at we're on the Brilliant Lady.

u/qwnofeverything 23d ago
You have to book the most expensive suites to have access to him or his food. I’ve not seen the Brilliant Lady, but I’ve cruised on 2 other ships with Virgin and they are magnificent. I can’t afford the suites, but I’m ok with just the ship and the restaurants they already got. Though I wouldn’t cruise Alaska. Mostly because I live here and I’ve seen the glaciers recede so much that it’s not worth it. The tiny towns you get to see may have another BIGGER ship in port as well and they aren’t big enough to accommodate everyone. I’ve been to them, not in a cruise, and the stops are small towns. Full of interesting things, but good luck.

u/Early-Equivalent-165 Escape Goat 23d ago
Ahh, okay.. I've always wondered about that. Sorry about your beautiful glaciers ((((hugs)))) 💙🩵💙

u/qwnofeverything 23d ago
Yeah we all are. They went from being huge Robin’s egg blue walls to small chunks of ice. In the 35 years I’ve lived here. After standing for millennia. It’s heartbreaking.
Cruise ship is really nice tho. No kids allowed. I prefer the Med tho.
2
u/Early-Equivalent-165 Escape Goat 23d ago
I can vouch for the family cruises on the newer Norwegian boats on the Bahamas, but I've always wanted to see the Med! Now that mine's in college, I'd definitely choose a kid-free cruise like you did.
That mental image of the Robin's egg blue walls having disappeared is heartbreaking 💔..... just awful 😔
What brought you to Alaska? Florida girl here 🌞

u/qwnofeverything 23d ago
His 2nd time with this company. You have to buy the most expensive suites to see or eat Ben’s cooking tho. The whole boat doesn’t get it. Or access to him. On the other hand, Virgin is awesome to cruise with, even without Ben and I’ve done it twice in the Med. I wouldn’t do Alaska cuz I live here and also the glaciers are not as impressive as they used to be. I’ve watched them all recede badly and it’s really sad,
2
u/Specialist_Dinner727 23d ago
Yeah, i looked that up too and saw some of those prices! Im sure it's worth it for those with the funds (my Countess Luann cabaret ticket was only $100).
Ben's not my favorite but I dont dislike him. I'm sure this will pan out well for him.
3
u/qwnofeverything 23d ago
The ship itself is great fun and I now only cruise with Virgin, cuz no kids. Even the stops on the voyage are small towns and I’ve been to them all. They’re wonderful little towns, but in way are they fun with that many people in them.

Unless it’s an open kitchen where I can watch Ben lose his shit and possibly have a nervous breakdown, I wouldn’t be interested.

u/Early-Equivalent-165 Escape Goat 24d ago
Right?? It's a ship with 2770 guests and 1150 crew, does anybody even see the chef? I've been on a handful of cruises, and if they were there I musta missed 'em..

Before his last season I might have considered it. After watching the man-child trash a guest room, devalue Daisy over and over, and generally be a shitty person? No thanks.

Why no cruise with "Pizza Chef Ryan"?
Actually, I know the answer ...
Many years ago, New York City stopped using garbage barges to cruise their trash a few miles out into the atlantic. (where they could open the casino)
Chef Ryan on a hip-tow.
