Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. love it! Please make sure you add the cost of no children in at least $1,000,000 😉 wonder who will be cheaper now.
  2. LOL it's so funny, I have never even thought of the porter being a reason to check or not to check a bag. I wonder if it's only Miami that has this issue or does this hot topic spread around the world to other cruise ports.
  3. Yes I have asked and they made them for me. They will do anything if you ask nicely. The best eggs I had on virgin were perfectly poached eggs! They have an eggs Benedict each morning on the menu so I asked for just the poached eggs. They are always so accommodating!
  4. Actually very little up charges. Maybe 3 or 4 things are paid. Mostly including alcohol. Pub crawl, painting class with wine…… On virgin there is never any announcements to sell. No photographers pushing. No spa people walking around selling. No speciality dining people trying to promote expensive dinners. It’s really a different experience
  5. They do not let you re-use a band, i asked last time as sailed before when they sent them to your home address and had my name on the back!
  6. $1 chips with $5 minimum across the table
  7. Hey here is the information I know from past times with virgin: Social Solo Squad - Singles meet up Rise and Shine - Yoga on the rooftop Time for a Treat: History of Timepieces - ????? - I don't know, Sorry! Morning Mind Benders in the loose cannon - Trivia Game in the Pub Area Charmer's Lounge at SIP (Is this charmer performing?) - An amazing magic show, not normal magic. Blend the rules whiskey tasting (is it an upcharge?) - Yes it's an up-charge. Horseplay seahorse auction - ????? - I don't know, Sorry! Let me know if you have any other questions
  8. Earliest I would expect is about 730 and then there's no automatic immigration in the Virgin terminal so 30-40 minutes to get out the terminal. Then 20-30 minutes uber to airport. I wouldn't book a flight any earlier than 11 am.
  9. Hey the deep blue extras are per cabin only on the main sailors account. The bartab promo is also only on the main sailors account. On our last cruise i made the mistake of signing up the wrong sailor to pay (as when you check in you can choose) and sailor services were not happy about transferring the money to the other name.
  10. Hey just got off the ship. For the wellness month there’s a special healthy happy hour with free drinks in the dock and athletic bar at 5pm (or about then, I can’t remember exactly). There’s a special menu insert in the menu book explaining. Free drinks include Kettle One Canned Sodas, Non-alcoholic spirits and botanicals. The only free pressed juice was for the romance package people.
  11. They should take out the net at the back of the ship and add a pool!
  12. Hey! We have done virgin a couple of times and love it. Here’s my opinion on your questions! 1 - MegaRockstar gets unlimited drinks up to $25 plus party’s in the room with unlimited open bar and refills. We love the Mega Rockstar agent that will move mountains to make you happy. It’s expensive yet we drunk $1500 in alcoholic drinks on our first 4 day cruise between two of us and the cost of a regular rockstar plus the booze = price of a MegaRockstar room. With Mega we really get off the boat with a 0 bill. It’s so nice. 2 - The pool is ok. Little tight but nothing crazy. If you are in rockstar you have your own area with 2 Hot Tubs that are not that hot anyway so we hung out in them. 3 - All rockstar rooms are King beds. No splitting them up. 4 - The cruises are getting busier. Last one had 1800 people. My one next week has over 2000. If you book through a travel agent they can select a room. My travel guy is fabulous and sends selections prior to booking. We went off celebrity after our last cruise with them due to the age demographic getting older and older meaning entertainment wasn’t as focused on a broad audience. We love virgin because of the live music, great shows and even better staff! Love scarlet night (their version of formal night) where you just wear red, even dressed down but it’s so fun. They do shows all over the boat then open the pool up for a late night pool party! What other cruise line let’s you in the pool at 11pm. RCL is just a noooo because of the volume of children. We love kids but on vacation it’s a kid free time for us.
  13. Hi 👋 Thank you! For the Italian I think there’s a specialty restaurant onboard? That’s what I was looking for. We loved MSC before the pandemic but haven’t been back. Was thinking to do a weekend cruise again and move away from Virgin.
