Anyone else getting surveys from Virgin asking how a call went with Sailor Services when you didn't call?

[CineGraphic]

This has happened to me 3 or 4 times now.

Has me wondering if a dishonest rep is logging non-existent calls to make it look like they are working, or if their system is just a total mess.

I have not, BUT be careful with unsolicited emails.  IF the VV database was hacked, clicking on that survey could load malicious software or subject your system to Ransomware.  I can spoof ANY company to get you to click.

I've called them twice and gotten that twice, so no excess surveys sent so far.

Yes, called twice and received that notice twice.

I haven't called, neither has my TA, yet in the past week I've received two surveys identical to the one I posted above for calls I never made. This happened twice before last Fall.

My email was slightly different from yours. We have not yet cruised with Virgin - booked for New Years 2023. Like you we are trying other cruise lines (from Princess/NCL).

We recently disembarked from our 3rd sailing with VV, and absolutely love the experience.

We don't foresee going back to Princess for a very long time, if at all.

There is so much we don't miss, and I see the complaints on the Princess board keep rolling in.

Glad to see you'll be giving Virgin a try.

I am with you on that. The one ship I am interested in is the new Sun Princess, but we shall see. There are so many different protocols with Virgin. I do not like that I cannot purchase excursions, Loot (OBC) or other things in advance. Our App does not work. My guess is because the Brilliant Lady is not finished yet. ?? Not sure.

Correct, it's because Brilliant isn't yet finished and her sailings aren't yet loaded into the app.  I have a Brilliant sailing in Feb 2024 and can't use the app yet for that sailing.

That's what I thought. Any idea when the App will become active?

No, no idea, sorry!  I check weekly with bated breath lol, but still no luck.  If I had to guess, I'd say sometime in summer.  The first Brilliant sailing isn't until over Christmas, so I think it'll still be awhile.

Yeh we are sailing the New Years cruise. Hopefully before the 145 days prior mark!

This past week I called VV. But both my wife and I got the survey. So in our case one of us called but both got the survey. 
 

Something  similar may be happing with you or when a TA calls on your behalf.

The only problem is, my TA has not called.

Sometimes I call and use your name.  Sorry, I'll stop doing that.  😉
