it's good to know that, looks more and more likely that we will get the train all the way down !

thank you we will look into this 🙂

i am from the UK and we're flying into Orlando, the cruise is part of a 22 night holiday my husband simply doesn't want to drive in Miami traffic so it looks like we will take the train 😉 however thank you all for your help and suggestions

we just fancy a few nights along that coast and my husband really doesn't want to drive in the Miami traffic he has a stressful life at home so this is to remove some of the stress so to speak along with Fort Lauderdale we've also been looking at Boca Raton and Vero Beach, staying 2 nights probably in a airbnb or condo before the cruise

Cruising Walter will you report on it if you do decide to go on the train ? 🙂

i can see one personal item for free and checked bags at $10 we have signed up for offers and hoping some special offer drops into my email box our plan is to drive to Fort Lauderdale spend a few nights here and go on from there, fares as low a $20 std and $37 for a premium ticket (one way) at the moment it seems our best option

i don't really want my husband to drive in Miami itself so we're trying to figure out our best options on how to get to cruise port we have some leeway before the cruise so at the moment we're looking at perhaps staying a few nights in Fort Lauderdale pre cruise and using Brightline to get to the port for those that live in Florida can you please help with suggestions, there will be 3 of us and 3 medium sized suitcases thank you in advance

we will be getting off as you get on 🙂

i have this booked for Oct on our med voyage

so helpful 😄 i do appreciate it

when we travel, we always have two rooms and my husband and son often share

Oh wow that seems a great deal the plan is to let my husband and son share so that's one in his name and then one room for me and then once onboard we will just shuffle who sleeps where 😉

so what exactly does the $300 deposits get me what is the advantage of it i am presuming there is a advantage or it's worth more at some point also what does MNVV mean

i need help to understand how a future cruise booking works my first booking is this October and we're looking at booking two cabins for Jan whilst were out in the usa we have been status matched to deep blue extras and it says sea rover, i've also got a blue credit card at the side of my screen that says cha ching you've got credit but with a $0 next to it and it says get in touch to redeem i've already got myself a US travel agent who i have used a lot of times and i trust but i would like some idea on how i go ahead and book, do i wait until i get on the ship or trust in my travel agent to get me the best deal both myself and my husband were status matched and for our next cruise we'd like two rooms as we will be a party of three and i'm hoping we can get the future voyage credit off both rooms can anyone shed any light on all of this and tell me how it works

we are on the 8th October sailing how about yourself ?

i am exactly the same, the anxiety is so bad that i wear noise cancelling in ear pieces and i had pretty much wrote this restaurant off but after this post i might do the same and come back much later in the evening i don't want to play games i would just like to experience the drink/ food, i will toddle along at half 9 and see how the land lies

have really enjoyed your trip report thank you for sharing 😄

i will take my chances but that is good to know, thank you

you will have to come back and let me know how you got on 😉

i'm on a med cruise later this year and have booked the same lock it in rate, i do have the $600 bar tab as it was part of the booking promotion and also got a status match with deep blue extras to add another $100 bar tab and yes i have checked i will get all of the deep blue extras 😄 my plan is to wait and see the room assigned and then if i'm not keen see about bidding for upgrade, calling to see what they can do if i pay more and finally if all else fails check for a upgrade at the port terminal

can i ask do virgin automatically send most people offers to bid for a upgrade or is it just a select few that get these? trying to figure out if i should ask my travel agent for a price or just wait and see

have a fantastic cruise, i look forward to following along 😀🍸

thank you so much, was it super fun ? in the UK we'd pretty much call that a beer crawl or a regular weekend night out with friends 🙂

thanks, are you going to try it ???

has anyone taken part in this and if so what time do it usually take place ? idea of cost and any feedback would be great thanks
