We were warned against trying to walk in to a restaurant without reservations since there are "over 2000" on board. I didn't ask for the specific number though. 

Thank you Ichiban35. That's why I was curious. In August we had no problem walking up at breakfast and being sat right away, but in October we were turned away at both The Wake and Razzle Dazzle. So I learned my lesson and made reservations for the remaining days.

Another suggestion for you Sid - Head over to the Social Club where the Artist should be starting an art scavenger hunt about now. They will have a QR code to scan and it has clues to find various art on the ship. It can totally be done as a solo activity to find each of the art things listed and there are some neat ones I hadn't noticed before doing that.

I've tried making reservations for breakfast, but the whole area is greyd out, and you can't click on any of the times... I've had no problem getting in, but I went at 8:30 am when it wasn't too busy yet...

Normally I am not a fan of avo toast, but that one caught me by surprise and now it is one of my crave foods on the ship. 

i love the sriracha or other spicy stuff they put on there!!

To clarify, we got the walk in warning for dinner reservations. We haven't needed breakfast reservations since we've hit the Galley every day. Though @Ociana's recommendation for avo toast is intriguing me now.

I went up to the pool deck for awhile to get some sun... I'm trying to block out a little time here just for myself, as I currently don't have any more vacation plans until January of next year... There's a possibility of another Virgin Voyages cruise in October, but it's not set in stone yet. I guess that it's time to take a shower and get ready to find something for lunch. I've got the tequila class at 3:00, so I've got three hours to kill between now and then...

Also at The Social Club, they have boozy milkshakes, hot dogs, and chicken wings...

Can't wait for a boozy shake! 

 

Thanks for the walk through this morning. Cruise does not look too full. Mine in April was full of bloggers and vloggers.

Public service announcement: Just learned that you can get locked out on the balcony on this ship! 😆 The outside balcony door handle doesn't lock and unlock, only has a grip handle. It was hilarious but probably only because a bathroom crisis (after 3 mojitos) was averted by our agent letting housekeeping know to come back within minutes. 🤭

In case anyone wants to get me something for Christmas, I'm a size smixin smart hand washing system... First, it spits soap on your hands, then water, and next a paper towel descends from the top... I only wish it gave you just a smidge more paper towel...

The verdict on the pizza place is that it's not just good for a "cruise ship pizza", but it's a really great pizza with a nice crust and great flavor. The Caesar salad was fresh and the lettuce crispy, and it had real slices of parmesan cheese, not that powdered stuff...

Sid - have you been in the room that is just off of the pool area? I think it's called the hangout or something on the map, but nobody is ever in there.  The pillow in this photo from my house may have originated from that room...

I love it how people are just out here pounding those drinks at twelve o'clock in the afternoon... If I did that, I'd be in bed by six, and I'm a professional... I'm holding out till the tequila class at 3...

I've walked by it a hundred times, but I've never been in there. I've also never been in The Red Room except to take a couple of pictures on my very first Virgin Voyages cruise in 2021... There are probably other places on the ship I've never seen...

Love the caesar salad. I get the shrimp from The Dock House and mix them in the salad, delicious!

If people watching is your thing, then Virgin Voyages is definitely for you... You've got a little bit of everything, and I mean everything here... Thong bikinis, speedos, twinks, bears, cougars, milfs, tattoo people, and everything in between...
