Teacherloves2Cruise Posted April 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yup. I don't blame them. If you can't sail in the US, you need to go other places. I hope the CDC is listening. As for those brits- they are lucky! Can't wait to see videos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteukmcr Posted April 8, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just been notified, on sale April 13th, will be taking a close look. ”For only three weeks in August, Scarlet Lady will be making six, short and sweet sailings around the southern coast of England — giving you a sneak-peek of who she is and what she’s all about. It’s the staycation-at-sea you’ve dreamed about all year, all while being the first to set sail on Scarlet on either a four-night Summer WeekDaze voyage, a three-night Long Weekender voyage, or book both sailings back-to-back for a full week at sea.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted April 8, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'll believe it when I see it... After being cancelled on five different times, I moved my next target sailing to May / June of 2022... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenSJ Posted April 13, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Booked this morning, just after 9am. 4 day sailing balcony cabin 2 people £1198 with $200 cabin credit. Wifi inc, tips incl, non alco drnks inc. I think thats a competitive price price compared to the other uk local cruises on offer at moment. Never cruised from Portsmouth - need to check parking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked direct on the virgin website - cabin credit varies on grade of cabin from $200 upwards. . I did nothing special it is available. I have booked parking with CPS. Cheaper at portsmouth then southampton £44 for 4 days as against £60 at southampton. If you do not want valet with cps then virgin have a special rate at the multistorey at £30 for 4 days.

rusky123 Posted April 13, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I have booked a 4 night cruise for the 16th. Really looking forward to this cruise to nowhere after having so many cancellations this past year. Toying with the idea of getting a train to Portsmouth instead of driving, but if Virgin have that special parking rate then we might drive instead. The on board credit was an unexpected bonus .

panamapd Posted April 14, 2021 #12 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Do you think they will lay on anything especially for solo travellers?! I have to go it alone as unable to take child so he is staying at home with husband. No other available companions!! I must say the solo rate is excellent at only £479!

There is no mention until you complete the booking and pay, then it appeared on the confirmation. I thought it to be a good price without the OBC so was pleased when it got even better Edited April 14, 2021 by stephenSJ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchcreek Posted April 14, 2021 #16 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Does anyone know whether there are any Portsmouth hotels that do cruise parking? Or is it best to book port parking (is there just one?) and hotel separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB77 Posted April 14, 2021 #21 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) There is a virgin cruise offer with Portsmouth port parking. If you put dates in that are virgin sailings it is showing at about half price. https://portsmouth.apcoa.co.uk/carpark/location/portsmouth-port/3550?EntryDate=2021-08-05T15%3A00%3A00&ExitDate=2021-08-09T12%3A00%3A00 Edited April 14, 2021 by JB77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteukmcr Posted April 14, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Received our confirmation and cabin number plus the $200 "Sailor's Loot" (love Virgin's quirks and play on words). That makes it a better deal IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
