Did this happen to anyone else? Frederick Happened to me, too. Received that Tuesday, replied immediatly but still waiting. I donˋt want a refund, i want to travel. Hopefully that works out again… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claimed that, on the form, we requested both a refund AND a rebooking. On the form, it's a drop down where you can only pick one. We finally got the rebooking confirmation yesterday. We submitted the rebooking request on 9/7. I would check the sailing you're wanting to switch to and make sure that there are available staterooms in your category. If they're running out, I would put one on hold and contact Virgin (or your TA) to let them know you want to move the booking to the stateroom on hold. I did this for an XL Sea Terrace. VV originally put us in a regular Sea Terrace and they were able to transfer us to the XL.

librarylady19 Posted September 15, 2023 #78 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Woo hoo!! Got my confirmation for my rebooking (one week to the day). Very happy with the extra $600 sailor loot and the new cruise itinerary (Barcelona to Rome, 11/3/24). I'll be able to take lots of shore excursions with that. Thanks to everyone who has been on this thread for quite some time now. I would have really been in the dark without everyone sharing here. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesters Posted September 16, 2023 #83 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Monday is 7 days for our rebooking request .... will post when we hear anything. We are on a casino rate and the new sailing is actually around $250 less with the reduction in port fees & taxes. Will those be provided as a refund or more loot? I am happy with more loot - just a mind game with the $ doesnt really make a difference but as its spent already it feels like extra "free" OBC LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaSC Posted September 17, 2023 #86 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I was successfully moved after 6 days. A separate email states I have a $600 bar tab and $600 obc since I rebooked before 10/11/23. The app shows only $600 bar tab 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianCruiser21 Posted September 17, 2023 #89 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I got the rebooking confirmation earlier this week but was finally able to access the website and see the Add-ons. My original booking just had $600 loot from MNVV and $100 bar tab from DBE. The rebooking got an additional $600 loot and $600 bar tab (current promo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesters Posted September 18, 2023 #91 Share Posted September 18, 2023 We are rebooked!!! French Daze & Ibiza nights in May!!! So excited. Not only were we able to move our casino booking to this sailing, we are getting back over $200 due to the changes in port fees/taxes AND I was able to scoop up a Splash of Romance, which was sold out on our original sailing. I am so excited. Its a longer wait but will be so worth it!!!! It was 7 days from our submission last Monday as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogcityca13 Posted September 18, 2023 #92 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Just got our confirmation at the 7 day mark. We’re all set for March 22, 2025 in a cheeky corner. Long wait to cruise but the only itinerary that we could leverage an extra day and had the same cabin class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenenvy Posted September 18, 2023 #93 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I heard at the 7 day mark and did not get my desired itinerary. I’m very disappointed and discouraged to say the least. I’ll figure out a way to get what I want but really not pleased with the way this was handled. I was perfectly fine with my Brilliant Mermaiden being cancelled but to not get the cruise I wanted over a year in advance when it was not sold out when I requested it on Monday is very sad. I love VV - I’ve been on 4 cruises and one more booked in December. I know it’s a first world problem but my heart was set on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been reading about how to get cruises through credit card/casino status but it seems like a lot of hoops to jump through especially of you don’t live near Vegas or AC! I hope VV offers another Virgin points deal soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain to Greece 10/11/24. I put in the form early Monday morning when it was first released and there was plenty of availability but it was priced so low word got out and the itinerary sold out. So definitely not pleased because I would have bought a cabin on Monday if I thought there was any chance I wouldn’t get it. I’m just hoping some cancellations happen and I can still figure out a way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona to Rome as that was a more appealing route to me and much pricier. No chance of that selling out at 5k for xl sea terrace 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking myself for not buying it outright on Monday and using the credit for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
