Liveish from the Scarlet Lady - July 2nd through July 7th
drewdawg199 replied to 1025cruise's topic in Virgin Voyages
You can also order the skewers with no sauce, shrimp, chicken and steak are pretty plain. -
If you had your own VV account and then booked through a TA, it's possible a second account was created for you using the same email address. When that happens, their system can't handle it and requires some backend IT adjustments to resolve. But like others said, if you book through a TA, your first and only call should be to your TA do have it sorted out.

there's also pizza until about 1:30 or 2am and secret duck ramen 10:30pm-12am at the galley.

Scarlet Lady / Live / Solo - May-21-26-2023
drewdawg199 replied to sid_9169's topic in Virgin Voyages
Still has a long way to go, there's room for another 15-20 people in the deep end alone, and probably another 15-20 in the shallow end! -
RESILIENT LADY - maiden arrival at Piraeus
drewdawg199 replied to CretaMed88's topic in Virgin Voyages
on the first two ships they have to constantly wipe down the exhaust dust off of the back decks and running track, kind of crazy. That's pretty much my only complaint about VV. -
I think the sparkling wine might only be half an hour. Captain usually makes an announcement about it, that’s the only announcement of the whole trip pretty much. Think it’s 6-6:30 for normal sailors on the pool deck.

Also - check out this video to get an idea of the atmosphere, they just released it yesterday! https://www.virginvoyages.com/l/the-voyage

Call if you want to do b2b and keep same room, that’s pretty much the only way (or a travel agent 🤮). rockstar suites only have king beds but the Brilliant Suite and larger have a convertible couch that a second person could sleep on.

What’s going to be revealed on 1-6-2023?
drewdawg199 replied to OfTheSeasCruiser's topic in Virgin Voyages
yes cheeky corner and also sweet aft suite do I believe but not sure there is room on decks 8/9 for them so check. -
I’ve recently had an aggressive porter, basically if you don’t have some cash in your hand when you arrive, they will quickly remind you that they work for tips to take care of your bags.

Disembarkation in Terminal V - facial recognition cameras?
drewdawg199 replied to Janthere's topic in Virgin Voyages
Pretty sure they don't have facial recognition, they have cameras, but not the system where you just walk by without handing over your passport and answering any questions that the border patrol may have for you. -
they typically stock 5 half bottles of rum, vodka, gin, bourbon, tequila or whiskey, 4 half bottles of wine and 4 beers. The latest process is that rockstar agents ask you at boarding for any modifications and they will only swap an existing item for another mini bar item and only if you request on the first day (more rum instead of another item etc).

Casino on Virgin - Mini Trip Report and Return Offers??
drewdawg199 replied to garycarla's topic in Virgin Voyages
BJ is 3/2 -
No, believe Porter is only option if you can’t carry the bags on yourself. Likely union rules that no one except porters can touch the bags.

I think Virgin Voyages would be better suited for LA than Miami
drewdawg199 replied to DrSea's topic in Virgin Voyages
I agree with most of what you are saying, being in southern CA myself. However, LA is just not a major cruise market, as you said, lot of wealthy people here, if we want a tropical vacay we just go to Bora Bora or Hawaii would be the backup plan, if that puts things in perspective a bit. -

Does anyone have any idea how VV comes up with their fare value discounts when using these two promotions together? If you look at the website total fare including taxes, shouldn't it just be that value minus the $300 MNV discount and then minus the $300 MNV deposit that was already paid??? I'm pretty good at math, and I can't figure out how they come to their quoted price. The quoted price they have me booked at is $225.50 MORE than what I've noted above. Thanks

Rock Star vs Mega Rockstar regarding restaurants
drewdawg199 replied to lilyozma's topic in Virgin Voyages
I don't think anything is every "guaranteed" when it comes to restaurant reservations, but I believe what you are describing is actually open to anyone on the ship, you can make reservations in person at a restaurant same day you are already holding reservation for another. We definitely did that as regular rockstars, but don't think that status had anything to do with it. -
The bed in a sea terrace cabin can be arranged in an L shape with two twin beds, not totally separated like most cruise lines but better than no separation at all.
