I got this email from Delta being a Skymiles member. I clicked on the link from the email and checked out some cruises. Where can I see the bar tab that we are getting? I find it confusing. I am used to other cruiselines where I can buy a drink package or it is included.

You won’t see it applied until after booking. But the amount you should expect is in the post above.

Thanks very much,
@Gretchendz for posting this! We are planning our very first VV cruise and I've been a Delta Skymiles member for decades. It's nice to have this perk! 😄

[Back to school]

Good perks Virgin&Delta Access Keys but “cannot be combined with any other discounts, special offers, or promotions”.  I’m going to wait bookings for onboard March 23, Valiant Lady, for offers.

[Tyler414]

How exactly do you use this offer?  Is it an access key to enter when booking the cruise?  I am a sky miles member... I also have used the access key before with Virgin, so familiar with that, but cant seem to find this "offer" anywhere...

Thanks for the help!!

Just figured it out....You enter Virgin&Delta in the access key section when booking.

[DCGuy64]

Thanks @Gretchendz. You helped us score a $400 free bar tab. What a deal!

Has anyone who used this promo seen the extra bar tab show up in their add-ons?

There are no drink packages on VV, but the bar tab concept is a lot more flexible  and, unless you are a heavy drinker, cheaper.  In addition, most recent bookings have included a complimentary bar tab in various amounts.  The email should tell you what is included.  If you are not getting a bar complimentary bar tab or you feel it is not enough, you can purchase bar tab in advance.  Depending on the amount you purchase, you will get a bonus added based on the amount you purchase and any loyalty status you have (ranges from $10 on $100 purchase to $125 on $300 purchase with top loyalty status).  The down side to a bar tab is a "use it or lose it," so if you don't think you will spend a given amount, don't buy it.  If it is complimentary, it doesn't matter.

On past cruises we have been able to purchase unopened bottles of wine from room service and take those home.  Yes, we could buy the same wine for a lot less at home, but this is "free" as it is with complimentary bar tab.  Makes a good hostess gift if nothing else.  You do need to be aware of the regulations in your disembarkation port.

[TeresaJ]

Thank you. I understand that VV does not have a drink package.  I was asking where I can actually see the bar tab I'm getting with this promo when I attempt to book.  I am leery because it does not show anything on the checkout screen and I want to see what I'm actually receiving and have confirmation of that before putting down a deposit.

Ours showed up before we'd paid anything. Once I put the code into the Access Key box, it was added automatically.

You or your TA must apply the access key prior to completion of the booking. You should be able to see it after application

Interesting. My booking shows the access key was used but the doubled bar tab does not reflect in my add-ons.

If you used a First Mate, ask them to investigate. Sometimes things will show on the confirmation they can download for you that don't show on the app.  If you booked directly, call Sailor Services.

[MNcruisingcouple]

Do Delta and Virgin run incentives like this often? How do I get notified? 

[Gretchendz]

This is the first time, to my knowledge, that Delta and Virgin have run this. It started with Branson getting on a Delta flight and giving everyone onthe flight a free cruise, Oprah-style!

 

I would not be surprised to see more.

 

Delta sent out an email to their Skymiles members announcing it.

 

The interesting thing with this one is you need to enter the access code in at the time of booking, but you don't really need to be a Skymiles member until you board.It's free and only takes a minute or two to join.

 

It's hard to keep up with all the promotions that come and go. The best way to keep track is to 1) haunt this forum, 2) haunt the Virgin subreddit, or 3) find a TA who books a lot of Virgin and ask them to keep you informed.

What if I booked my flight with Virgin Atlantic and the flight is operated by Delta?  For our cruise in June, we booked via Virgin Atlantic, but the flight is operated by Delta flying from New York to Barcelona.

To get this promotion, you do not need to fly Delta at all. You just need a Skymiles account (the loyalty program, not the credit card). No need to have ever flown Delta. Just have your TA enter the Delta promo access code at booking. Then be ready to show proof you are a Skymiles member when you board.

[BrianB1964]

What is we already booked our cruise? Could this be done afterwards by calling sailor services? 

[rebeccac]

I would guess if you have already booked your cruise, you would have to cancel and rebook to get this offer.

Yes...and the price on the cruise may have changed. And if you had another promotion on it, depending on when you booked, you would likely lose that too.

The offer said "New bookings only," If you already have a booking, you can reprice it  to see if canceling and rebooking would give you a better deal but you would lose existing perks
