Biloxi, Mississippi
My husband and I often enjoy a quick trip over to the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino, in Biloixi, Mississippi. While we can often do a day trip, since it is only about 90 minutes from home, in January went for an overnight stay.
This time we did get a Gulf View room on a higher floor, which was great for a nice view of sunset before we went out and hit the casino. I’m a slots kinda girl had a great time playing even if I ended up down in the end. My husband had planned to play poker but the poker room was full with a pretty lengthy waiting list. Unfortunately that meant he didn’t get a game in.
We did enjoy our meal at BR Prime, the steakhouse within the casino portion of the resort. While I’m doing dry-ish January, I did have a blue cheese stuffed martini as my appetizer and it did not disappoint. I’ll definitely be returning again to get that drink. Our service at dinner was amazing and there was some excellent people watching to be found as well.
Virgin Voyages Western Carribean Charm Cruise
In mid-January I went on the Virgin Voyages cruise “Western Carribean Charm”.
I flew into Miami the afternoon before my cruise. For that one night I was staying at the Kimpton Epic Hotel in downtown Miami. I had a water view one bedroom suite, which was, sweet! I had a great view of a busy canal from the bedroom, a large terrace off the living room area, and a massive bathroom. I’ll be posting a review soon of my stay.
I’m grateful that the hotel had a later check-out time so I was able to check out, relax in the lobby area for a little bit, and then call my Uber.
Due to my loyalty status with Virgin Voyages, I’m in the VIP boarding group that starts right after the Rockstars and Mega Rockstars. From the time the Uber picked me up, to the time I was sitting in the waiting area to board the ship (bag dropped and all checked in) was 20 minutes…12 of which was the Uber ride so it was a super efficient boarding. More on that cruise coming soon too!
