I was on Beyond 11th - 21st july

Ship was at full capacity

The current cruise is at half capacity the staff were very happy that the next cruise wasnt going to be full

how long is a piece of string 🙄

Any problems with water? They don't sell water anywhere on the ship; no bottled water or even water in recyclable cans so you have to bring your own water bottle and fill it up yourself.  

water is provided in the cabin and refreshed everyday

you have been able to travel to US for work all through this travel ban

the ban is basically on tourists

how do you think virgin got its staff over to Miami? on a dinghy?

most crew on virgin are europeans

if it was me i would be having a PCR test and nothing else

That way your getting onboard imagine have an antigen and then an argument at the port about what website and emails say etc etc

PCR - Save yourself hassle

This is not a surprise TBH as customer services were last Tuesday (5th October) adamant that there website was wrong and a PCR test was required. However by Thursday 7th October they’d got the memo and we’re adamant that a LF antigen test was sufficient. 
As seaswirl66 notes things were moving quickly last week. 

they still allow unvaccinated passengers from schengen countries so the confusion around PCR/Antigen pales into insignificance imo anyway

Hopefully message has been fully understood by the crew at the terminal 🙂

yup was oct 2nd and they were adament

I got back from MSC Grandiosa out of Barcelona Saturday just gone MSC will not accept antigens for cruise passengers from the UK you must have a PCR

Lots of people had to head into town and pay for an express 2 hour PCR test

Was meant to be on Seaside in November cancelled cruise in April 2020, was told 8th August 2020 my refund had now been authorised.

Chased it up Oct 2020 was told please bear with us working through them

Its now Nearly Feb 2021 and still no refund its beyond a joke

This Covid concern has run it's course. Time to get back to cruising with normal precautions. If you're vulnerable you're more likely to die from the flu now. Or at least when we have a Covid vaccine as that would protect us all along with the flu vaccine.

people have got so short sighted that now theyt say "your unlikely to die" so now all of a sudden covid is ok

WHat about the people who caught it and have never fully recovered left with long term health effects

Knackered lungs/damaged heart/dizzyness etc etc that hasnt gone away months and months after "recovering"

The ill health effects going forward from people that have had covid will blight the healthcare system well into the future

With what happened with Wilderness Adventurer in Alaska, the definition of a "big mass of people" seems to be about 35 guests and 30+ crew members.  

You do realise the wilderness only has 30 cabins.

Very eeerie video

He's done others showing what its like too

Celebrity are full of every excuse in the book I will NOT be travelling with them ever again

Cancelled celebrity edge transatlantic just over 5 weeks ago and requested full refund was told it would be 30 days.

30 days elapsed early last week so ranh up told a load of bull about taking longer than expected but should be any day now.

Last Friday had cancellation invoice still no money.

Rang up this morning to be told now its going to be 45 days not 30 days

excuse after excuse

Just heard Britannia is leaving Caribbean and returning to Southampton with immediate effect

Anyone else see the ship tour that was posted on youtube a week ago?  Ship looks awesome!

 

 

 

Thanks for that

A lot of the communal areas and dining places to me look like cheap furnishings, the seats look like plastic/metal doesn't look inviting to me personally.

Not keen on servers and barstaff walking round with just tshirts on saying crew that's going ot be great trying to spot them when passengers are onboard....

Good luck.I will never sail this line.They should stick with their airlines.

long cruiser

 

Why even bother posting in here

the ship hasn't been finished being built yet so you'll be lucky 😅😅

I cant see them going to hong kong its become a ghost city as bad as Wuhan has now its all on lockdown

anyone else booked on the above repositioning april 19th really concerned as to what's going to happen in light of coronavirus?

I cannot see it going to Singapore now, will the ship pull out of asia altogether? where's it going to go instead?

My final balance is due in a weeks time, at the moment I cannot book flights or accommodation as don't know if the ship will even go to Singapore...

No more news on this?

is it too early to reserve one with my towel 😂
