Sent from my iPhone using Forums They are probably being very conservative with the schedule, taking into account any unforeseen occurrences. I believe the crossing from Liverpool to NY is taking 10 days, which is also very long. Probably building in time to divert in case of bad weather and still make that NY maiden arrival on schedule.

AlyssaJames Posted February 15, 2020 #458 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I can’t emphasize strongly enough that they are really using Instagram for a ton of stuff. It’s worth signing up an account and just checking it out. Some things will require you to be signed in. Then search #virginvoyages in the search window, with the hashtag. SO much stuff and a lot of it, especially videos, is difficult to bring over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. Either set a date, or don't.. It does get to feel scammy when dates for anyone's promotions keep changing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMS Olympic Posted February 16, 2020 #464 Share Posted February 16, 2020 As far as I know the lights are normally spots either just below the promenade deck or just below the life boats. Illumination provides an added safety factor in emergencies and an additional aid is spotting passengers going overboard being spotted on cameras. The only cruise ship I know of with underwater lights are some of the new Ponant vessels with windows in the hull for viewing sea life. I think they call it the whales eye.... but I could have that name wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymfreedman Posted February 16, 2020 #469 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Why what? IF referring to instagram, because that is the social media that Virgin Voyages is focused on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that I really dislike most social media platforms, so I don't have a dog in this fight ... But if you search for the hashtag #virginvoyages on Instagram you get a lot more content. They have several members of the team/crew running different 'stories' and narratives, and that hashtag picks up more of them. Just a random example, but here's a tattoo one of the members of the IT staff got from the onboard tattoo parlor: I never would have seen this otherwise. Of course, the #virginvoyages tag also gets you a lot of travel agent posts, but I've just been blocking them as I find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah interesting, I’m not “down with the kids” enough to understand how all this hashtag business works, hadn’t thought there’d be more to find that just via their main account... thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
