I snuck into Richards Rooftop again.

First drink of the day at Richards Rooftop... Don Julio anejo, and hopefully my nice tip will keep them from recognizing the color of my wristband.

I'm afraid to even say what that drink cost me... I better go get another one...

the drinks in general should be slightly cheaper today, they add on the local tax when in port.

One more of those Don Julio anejo margaritas at Richards Rooftop. Another nice tip, and I think that I'm a member of the club now.

Make note. The exact same drink five minutes apart. Eight dollar difference...

I'm finally starting to get my bearings around here... The forward stairs have purple stripes, while the mid ship are pink, and the aft blue... I also just discovered the sign indicating "fore" next to the deck number.

 

 

 

The elevators are also colored that way. Purple elevators in front, red/pink in middle and blue in aft.

Double shot on the 2nd one??

[sid_9169]

There's a couple of rows of these cabanas on the top deck, Port side. Nobody in any of them.

I guess that these are for when the app doesn't work, and you need to blow off some steam.

Some interesting loungers.

It's amazing how uncowded it looks. Any idea of the percentage of occupancy on this sailing? Future sailings?

[sid_9169]

And, these swings.

Someone claimed 1,800 passengers, and someone else said 1,200... Not sure who is correct, but it's definitely sparse...

[sid_9169]

The way I see it, is that we're almost as tall as Oasis...

 

 

[sid_9169]

Double decker bar by the pool.

 

 

[sid_9169]

Near the aft part of the walking track.

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

More aft activities, including a hot tub.

 

 

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

All of this prime real estate, completely empty.

Important to note that this is a port day, I would think half the ship or more went ashore for excursions.

Sid, Loving the ship photos.  I am kind of sorry I did not rebook my cancelled cruise on this ship. Oh well, plenty of time to book it.  

 

So it looks to me there are no more younger cruisers (by this, I mean under 30) than your standard Carnival or Royal Caribbean sailing.  However, there do not seem to be many older cruisers who require scooters, either.  What's your take on the age groups and the overall vibe?  I ask because some future VV cruisers seem to be trying to discourage older, healthy cruisers from even getting on a Virgin ship.  

[sid_9169]

We're definitely bigger than Mariner...

@sid_9169 Any discount codes being handed out on board? I have my hubby near convinced to book the sailing the week of Nov 7th but would love to snag a discount.
