For the rest of us yet to sail VV, what are these secret things?

So there are really only 2 places inside that you can order a drink? This is very weird

Thank you. Prefer it was automatic too but I have no problem requested the cabin service I want.

There was really no reason to be so rude. No, I’ve never been. We have a cruise coming up. I was genuinely curious/ concerned about many of your comments. Have a nice night.

I’ve got questions: “Shows must be reserved. The showroom is tiny (200-ish, and there are 2800 people or so max capacity). Shows are bookable only after you board. We were in group 1, but suites, “rockstars”, board first. We got into one show (that’s all we could find) and it was quite good. That’s all we could get, very disappointed.” are you saying that in boarding group 1, you went into the app or to a desk to book these and only one show was available for your entire cruise? Or only one that worked for your times? Please elaborate. “Room attendant… we learned the hard way that they service your room once daily. One of my favorite luxuries is coming back after dinner and our bed is all turned down and there are fresh towels and the room is tidy. Not on Virgin. I was quickly scolded by Sailor Services that’s not how they do it. Once daily service.” Is this true? I thought you could request service/ bed change on your iPad at any time? What’s others’ experiences? “Dinner in Test Kitchen was a series of 5 tablespoon sized bites. We went for burgers after.” Could you have asked for more? And are burgers the only option after dinner? I thought I saw Ramen, pizza, burgers, diner and the Mediterranean grill? “For evening cocktails before dinner despite all the areas on the ship that at first seem amazing, there are only two lounges and they are relatively small. There is no centrum like most ships. It is overall very strange.” I see around 8 bars listed. Are you saying they weren’t open? Did they open later? Maybe you ate very early? I’m so confused. Thanks for any insight you can share

Booking opened sometime around 11pm on 11/14. Said 11/15 was opening date.

It’s error #404 with the little seal image

For days now, can’t access my account to add bar tab. Phone lines have had hours waits. I’ve tried phone, iPad two different laptops and all the browsers I can think of. Anyone else having issues?

I am really excited I was able to grab everything I wanted especially NYE at The Wake. It seemed to open up somewhere around 11pm. Yippee!

Are you from CA? the vibe they are going for is far more Miami than LA. (And cruises from CA suck in terms of where they can go)

Do you have to call to buy a bar tab? When I try in App it shoots me back to website then I get an error message. Just me?

Just use my code to book! https://virg.in/JikS

The final answer was that I am not eligible for the Red Hot $200 bonus because I used some sort of credit from a previous cancelled sailing.

Or maybe I don’t know where to look to see sailor loot. Same part of app where it says add ons?

This is exactly how it’s worded. I asked her twice and she seemed sure. Did you have to call for the Red hot bonus? timing wise. I booked in 10/28. THEN I saw this loyalty thing. Submitted based on my Gold DCL status. Got an email the next morning with the congrats, approved and Deep Blue info. Later that day I saw the deep blue package in my app. do you have to call for the $200? Maybe I’m not eligible because I wasn’t a tier member AT time of booking?

Not skipping that benefit! Sounds wonderful! Shake, shake!!! follow on question. I read the perks as an AND. Deep blue perks AND $500 red hot booking bonus if you booked during Oct or another red Hot month. Rep is telling me no- it’s EITHER deep blue perks OR the $200 sailor loot bonus. Is this accurate?

Yes we are excited about Bimini but won’t book any specific plans there. we are looking for classiest for NYE not so much best food.

If both cabin mates have status, you get two packages?

Thanks! Since it’s a New Years cruise and my husbands birthday is on NYE, I am mostly just trying to get Wake for NYE dinner. The rest I can just go with the flow.

So helpful!!! Thank you so much!! we only have Puerto Plata and Bimini as port stops and honestly could care less about either so leisurely brunch is perfect!

Excited to try VV and this ship! 12/30/22 sailing. Is the bed comfortable (Sea Terrace)? I’m concerned it’s not a quality mattress but instead some couch cushions made up with sheets. what time of day 45 days out will dining open to book? Do I stay up past midnight? Do I need to wake up at 6am? Specific time would be most appreciated. do I need reservations for brunch? If so, will I be allowed to book Wake for both Brunch and dinner? Or only one time for entire cruise? any venue other than Wake have bottomless for $25? what time does ship start to board? I got a 1:45pm arrival- is that the earliest or was I very late to the party and all the earlier times booked?
