@Zhoen How long did it take for the transfer to go through?

Yes.

Braised short ribs on top of mashed potatoes. It was very good!

A little over $7 per with the bucket of 5. $8.26 for a single budweiser. A little steep but not much higher than going to a restaurant. The bartender at License to Chill on the pool deck was amazing and made the best mojitos & daiquiris. We were quite pleased with him.

You'd have to pay me to go on Carnival. 🤣

@DChabiraHow much were alcoholic beverages on board? Trying to decide if a suite is worth the added expense.

Thanks for the honest and thorough review. My husband and I have sailed mostly on NCL so looking most forward to the no kids aspect of VV. Happy Sailing.

Capacity is about 1600. Our cruise was sold out online but I don’t think there were 1600 people on board. More like 1000. Food was on par with NCL but obviously because of the size difference not nearly the selection. Tortilla chips on the buffet but no salsa. Stuff like that. But I never went hungry. Pizza is $15 up charge in one of the specialty restaurants. We went in with low expectations and were pleasantly surprised. I would go again but it’s an 8 hour drive which is tough even for a long weekend. They offer a sail & stay package at a couple different resorts in Freeport that I might consider. Up next Virgin Voyages!

There is a 110 outlet and it worked fine. The hair dryer supplied was 220v. I wish I had brought my own.

Yes post #3 shows the adult only pool.

Sail away party. I think everyone was on deck. It was never this crowded the remainder of the cruise.

While it was not perfect, we had a good time. We arrived at the pier about 10:15 Saturday morning and were on the ship by 11:15 AM without purchasing the Express embark/disembark package. Valet parking was $22 / night so $44 total. Buffet opened about 11:30 AM. Rooms were ready about 1:00 PM. Food in the Buffet and Fins (MDR) were good. Prime Rib and Desserts were excellent. We did not try any of the paid venues (Frank & Lola's pizza, JWB Steakhouse). Went to the Tales from Margaritaville show which was hokey but cute. We had a porthole cabin on deck 4. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean & crisp. The hairdryer or the outlet (220) didn't work. The shower head was terrible and was clogged with calcium buildup. Also couldn't get the safe to work. Barely saw our cabin steward. Paid $99 for 10 drinks (x2) which included the gratuity. Buckets of beer (5 for the price of 4) were $30 plus 18% gratuity. Bagus, the bartender in License to Chill on the pool deck, was awesome. He kept my beers cold from one day to the next so I didn't have to consume all five in one day and made the best mojitos & strawberry daquiris. We did not do any excursions in Freeport. Took a cab for $12/pp round trip to the shopping area but most stores were closed so we got some food and cheap beers at Rum Runners. Open air market vendors were pushy as expected.
