New CEO Nirmal Saverimuttu who was previously president and chief experience officer, has some interesting things to say.

You can also see what cabins are available on one TA's website, even if you don't book with them.
We're not allowed to link to TAs, but if you Google "American Discount Cruises", you'll figure it out.
Once you find a cabin location you like, you can call Virgin and request the change.
Someone who will remain nameless once posted on here a tale of pinching a set of salt & pepper shakers from one of the dining rooms, and bringing them home as a souvenir. I'm wondering if that became a trend and they've had them removed, or if they are just waiting for them to be replaced.
Lots of folks seem to be getting their refunds quickly with one simple request.
Did you ever think that calling every day with anything close to the attitude displayed here probably isn't helping?
I hope you get a refund soon so this doesn't keep popping up in various threads, and I hope you find a cruise line you like.
We once made a 9:50am flight out of Port Everglades/FLL with plenty of time to spare, we just made sure we were in the first walk-off group, and grabbed the first taxi we saw. No time to wait for an Uber.
You should have no problems clearing customs if this is just a closed-loop Caribbean sailing, but arrivals from Transatlantic sailings sometimes get more attention/scrutiny.
I honestly don't think it's 100% sold-out, just at some predetermined level that they are comfortable with. I wouldn't be surprised if they make more cabins available down the road.
Things may be different refund wise between countries, just inform your TA to not let the suite go. There must be a way for them to extend the hold considering the circumstances.
According to a thread on another site, the October 11, 2024 sailing is already sold-out.
Some cabins were only $86 pp/pd, and Rock Star suite prices were under $200 pp/pd.
Don't book Colorado to UK......book your flights to the UK from a major hub that has more competitive pricing, like NYC, Boston, or DC, and then book a separate flight to the hub you'll be flying out of. You'll save lots of money this way.
We upgraded from a regular Terrace to a Sweet Aft Suite Even Bigger Terrace for the 12 day sailing from Portsmouth to Barcelona. When you see a price of $230 pp/pd to sail as a rock star, you jump on it.
We chose Portsmouth to Barcelona, so you'll be boarding her the day we disembark.
Now I need to decide which airport we'll fly into and where we'll stay.
I wouldn't worry so much knowing now that they are allowing other options like paid upgrades.
They created the mess, and they clearly want to make things right for folks.
I don't think the link is allowed but google "American Discount Cruises"
It's not the easiest site to navigate, but in their booking engine you can see available cabins.
