Any rainbow people on this 10 night southern Caribbean cruise?

It's a 4-night cruise in warm weather with no formal nights. How much luggage are you really going to have? This might have been their thoughts on the limited storage space. 

Please don’t presume to know my situation.  I don’t live in the USA and we maximize our Vacation time when we travel.  

It’s a five nighter and just one of the cruises I will be taking on this trip. I will be bringing two suitcases and a carry-on and so will my spouse.  We have never had a problem with putting the suitcases under the bed on ships, apparently until now. 

We meet a lot of people that do this as well. Not everybody just takes a single cruise.  

Another video has surfaced. It’s not looking good for luggage space. Apparently you cannot store luggage under the bed.

Anybody on ships or islands feel or see and signs? There was a 7.7 earthquake between Jamaica and Cuba at 2:10 pm today.

Tsunami alert has been issued for the Caribbean!  CNN

I am really interested in seeing the shower size in the XL Sea Terrace cabin. Neither of these videos showed it from what I can tell.  Has anyone seen it in a video?  I’m curious the difference in size compared to regular Sea Terrace.

Yes the shower is shown in the second video and it is quite big and rectangular. it appears to be considerably larger than a royal Caribbean tube shower.

It looks like there will be enough room in the closet area under the space where you hang your clothes. Two medium cases or more if you have different sizes and store them nested inside each other. 

As we are from Canada, we optimize our airfare and do multiple cruises and resort stays per vacation. We travel with four large cases and two full-size carry-ons. They usually fit under the bed in a state room.  We are extremely neurotic and the room must look pristine.  In other words everything has its place and must be put away. On our last cruise on serenade of the seas our state room attendant said she’s never seen a neater room than ours and wants to come visit us at our house. 😂 It’s always a challenge to figure out a new room configuration and get everything put away properly. Room videos help. I’m looking forward to see what people post. 😄

12050A, on the first deck plan site I found, shows a marker that indicates a “pullman” bed. A pullman bed on a cruise ship drops down from the wall or ceiling. (So it will be above one of the other sleepers.)

 

You may be thinking of a trundle bed. 
 

No one here can give you more than these educated guesses, so you might as well get on the phone or in chat with VV.

 

 

I appreciate your concern and further investigation on my question.  Eventually someone will have the answer I am seeking.  Thank you for your efforts. 😄

And like I said, there is obvious FIXED storage under one of the movable pieces of bed, at the timestamp I posted upthread. It’s probably taller than it looks and can hold multiple pieces of luggage.

 

It’s clear that no one here can give you the answer you want, which seems to be “oh, you’re right, they totally forgot about suitcases!”

Please! No need to be rude.  I’ve already indicated that in my cabin that fixed portion of sofa is a pull out bed. I’m in 12050A. 
 

You obviously cannot give me the answer I need so why not let someone else who actually has knowledge answer please. That way I know what to do with my luggage instead of your speculations. Good day.

That is the nice thing about forums, is people can offer opinions.. Closet may be small, but where my luggage is going to go is the last thing I am worried about on a cruise. You can see the closet in this video at 4:15   https://eatsleepcruise.com/2019/11/exclusive-first-look-at-virgin-voyages-cabins/.

If you read this thread you would note that I pointed out the timestamp for the closet earlier.  I’m looking for someone with some actual insight into the room.  I’m afraid your opinion does me no good. Thanks anyway.

Yep- And looked at the schematics of the rooms. I still would not worry about it-Luggage is not going to be something they are going to mess up on...

I would prefer facts over your opinion to be honest. You can clearly see there is no place for luggage in the video they released. I was hoping someone had some insight.

Between the entry door and desk is the closet, which I would presume would hold some suitcases.. And I sure would not worry about it, it is not something Virgin would forget...

Did you watch the video? The closet is minuscule. It seems to be all open concept and there’s no drawers anywhere. 

10 minutes ago, perditax said:

I haven’t seen that configuration, but don’t see why it would prevent under bed storage ...

If you watch the video you can clearly see right under the bed. It’s not designed to have anything underneath it. Nor does it look like it’s high enough to host a large piece of luggage.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s got to be under the “base” of the sofa that doesn’t move (see my other post).

 

It’s a Fincantieri ship, I just don’t believe they’d build a cruise ship and let Virgin overlook something as basic as “where do the suitcases go”. 
 

Hopefully there is also more storage than we’ve seen so far ... 

Actually our room is marked with a triangle which indicates that the couch is a second bed for one. So it can’t be luggage storage in our case. We might be living out of our luggage on the floor on this cruise 😄

Can you tell me at what time stamp you see a closet? I don’t think I’ve seen any closets at all. I can’t even tell if there IS a closet in the solo insider. 

 

Good question though. 

4:20 

I just watched a video on youtube showing the cabin features.  There doesn't seem to be a place for your empty luggage after you unpack.  The bed breaks in half and is used as a couch during the day.  There is no visible place that I can see to put your empty luggage it seems. The closet is small as well.   

Anyone know anything about this?

Uh..... we will be there 2 days later.  Hope they clean well.   

 

Maya Chen is the best.

 

 We tried Jaimes blue reef in November.  Food and drinks were good but no view and sellers literally bothered us every 3-4 minutes.  Not our best day. I’ll take the bumpy ride to Mayan Chen from now on.

Let me enlighten you as a person who has explored and learned to partake in clothing optional activities.  There will be no necessity to clean the resort any differently than any other day.  It is standard etiquette to always sit on a towel.  Because of the stigma that some people have with their discomfort with nudity, naturists actually go out of the way to ensure extreme cleanliness.  You have absolutely nothing to worry about except maybe spilling guacamole and staining your bathing suit. 😄

Awesome video! The ship looks so empty, was this super early in the morning? 

Yes!  You have to get up at 4:00am to shoot this kind of video.  There were still people everywhere and I tried to avoid them 🙂
