One of my family members requires a service animal on the Harmony of the Seas. Does anyone know where the service animal relief area is on the ship? Thanks

Was on the Caribbean Princess a week or so ago, and did the Chef's table. The Chef, is no longer allowed to create the menu. Corporate decided that the meal should always be the same dishes, on every ship, at every Chef's table. The main was a choice of veal oscar or salmon,. No steak. No Lobster, nothing special. The desert was a lemon (made of chocolate) with something unremarkable inside.

I am on that one as well.. Just got it arranged today.

Well, it's been grand knowing you, but I am dropping out from here. Good luck to all

the only exception would be if they didn't have the cabin type you bought available, in which case you would be refunded something... that's how it was explained to me. So I can take this TA and save it for an Iceland cruise when they announce them

If you are on a canceled cruise, you can choose any other cruise, for any amount of days and will be put in a similar cabin with no additional cost. This is what my regional sales manager just told me

from the email that I received and posted it should automatically happen, unless you were on one that got canceled.

From the email I just received from

As a TA, I can tell you we know nothing more than you do at this point. I doubt there will be perks for the change of ships

The Scarlett already had a TA planned for May so it would not replace the Brilliant on this trip. I have a call coming in from my Regional Sales Manager later today, so I will get as much info and details as I can.

The press release from Virgin says After a short period in dry dock for general maintenance, enhancements, and recalibrations, Scarlet Lady will spring back into action with a 16-night Transatlantic voyage from Rome to Miami. This new itinerary boasts calls in Funchal (Madeira, Portugal) as well as Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain). So it looks like it may turn into a 16 night. :

The Press release from Virgin doesn't show either of the ships doing the April Transatlantic. What remains untold is when they will actually sail the Brilliant, and what routes she will take.

This is a much better portion of the offer for me as I booked a sea terrace solo for 1700. Change of sailing: Passengers have the liberty to choose any other sailing in the same cabin category without worrying about the price difference. In cases where the new sailing is priced lower, the difference will be refunded.

The problem is, with different news sources having minor different information it is hard to say, but the fact that our sailing hasn't been for sale in over 4 or more months, was a good indicator

So according to this article, the Valiant will replace the Scarlett in the Caribbean after April 20th, as the Scarlett will be in dry dock. Based on that, I think this cruise will be canceled. https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tour-operators/virgin-voyages-announces-tough-decision-to-postpone-brilliant-lady-launch

it looks like they are using the valiant to replace the brilliant for now

Yeah. when you put brilliant in as a search field, it comes up with no cruises.

odds are you would get back the value of the mnvvv.. but not the obc that goes with it.

I made sure I paid off all of my sailings. They only give you the bonus based on what you have paid.. not what you owe.

I did one of their cruises years ago.. the first 3 days were fun. After that it was like being stuck in a gay bar for a week.. Would not do one again.

It looks like things are being announced across the pond in Europe.. but nothing here in the US as of yet.

That just reminded me... Virgin already sold a charter date to Atlantis on the Brilliant for March 16th, so maybe there is hope that it will be here by January
