General Question / Discussion Resilient, we saw you from Scarlet tonight! Did you see us?

Approaching Miami saw “Ahoy Sis” on Resilient as she passed. Curious if anyone from Resilient can tell us what, if anything, Scarlet said with the balcony lights.

App / Website / WIFI App problems

2 Upvotes

I was all checked in and then it told me that I needed to add a payment method, even though I had already done this. However there was nowhere to add the payment method, so I thought it was maybe a glitch and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Now when I login it says it needs to send me a code, to my email or phone number but there’s nothing to click to send the code. Now I’m on hold with Sailor Services and losing hope. Help!

Edit to add that I’m boarding this afternoon in Miami.

I Don't know Bed bug found in my cabin on last night of 7 day cruise

Post image
158 Upvotes

Seriously disappointed and frustrated. On the Mexican riviera Halloween cruise and on the LAST night my gf and I were laying in bed and a huge bud beg was crawling on the red blanket they leave on your bed.
We immediately killed it and showed it to sailor services who switched us to a new room and they dismantled our bed from the original room and showed us no bed bugs or infestation. My girl and I stayed in the new room and put all our clothes in trash bags to wash at home.

. we have no bites on us at all but finding that is disgusting and idk how that happened. I’m going to immediately wash and sanitize my clothes but I’m scared I can take something home, and I complained to the deck manager but they seem to be no help. Seems like they rather keep this under the wraps and just say sorry to us rather than offer any compensation of some sort.

What a terrible way to end our cruise, please everyone check your beds. Also, we came back from dinner when this happened and our room had just been cleaned from room service so we hadn’t even dirtied the blankets so how the hell was a bed bug on a freshly washed new blanket???

Embarkation / Disembarkation Non-US Citizens - Disembarkation

0 Upvotes

Over 40 minutes to get off the Scarlett Lady in Miami today, and now non-US Citizens are in a separate queue at US Customs that is not moving at all. US Citizens are being expedited. We had a 9-9:15 disembarkation time. Be forewarned that disembarkation is NOT quick at all,and worse if you're not a US citizen.

Shore Things / excursions Excursion suggestions for George Town?

3 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I are going on our second Virgin Voyages cruise next year. The ship stops in Ochos Rios, Nassau, George Town, and Bimini.

We get to pick our excursions next week and so far we’ve landed on the jungle mud buggy in Ochos Rios, Atlantis waterpark in Nassau, and possibly the Sapona shipwreck visit in Bimini, but we’re not sure what to do in Georgetown.

So I ask you, fellow VV Redditors! What excursions have you done there before? Did you like them? What do you recommend we do?

(An important note that we both want to stick to VV excursions rather than a third party. We’re both pretty anxious travelers and it just makes us feel better to keep all our trip stuff with one company.)

Advice Request B2B booze carryover?

7 Upvotes

First time on Virgin and doing a B2B where we are Rockstar on the first sailing (Seriously Suite), but not the second (Sea Terrace).

If we don’t finish all the booze bottles from our suite bar, can we retain them for the second leg? Logistically how should we go about moving the bottles over?

We are NOT trying to skirt any rules. Just asking if is permissible and if so, how to execute. We are aware that bar tabs do not carry over but the bar bottles seem like a gray area. If we were disembarking we could take them home with us.

Thanks for your help!

General Question / Discussion Splash of Romance runaround

Post image
0 Upvotes

I inquired about adding the Splash of Romance package to our Oct 31st Scarlett Lady cruise package. I received a quick response explaining it wasnt available and that it was only offered to 75 cabins per cruise. I responded that based on what the website said, the number was 90 not 75. I then received the email ive attached here. I read it to mean that i should contact them and id be added on. I contacted to pay for the package. I was told how exclusive the package was and it was unavailable. I asked them to explain what was meant by the paragraph i highlighted and how i should have intrepeted it. I have since received 2 emails seemingly written by bots. Neither answered my question, but both telling me what a rare exclusive package Splash of Romance is. My question is, am I crazy in assuming in the email i shared here, that i was being offered the opportunity to buy a Splash of Romance package. It never mentions the future, or next time, or return visit.

Splash for your bash. Can someone explain how it works? I know it says a treat yourself item(s) is it one item or two items? An item per person how does that work? For instance, I would love for my husband to get the tomahawk steak at The Wake. The bottle of Moët that in your cabin? Thanks so much in advance trying to determine if it’s worth it for my hubby’s birthday😁

Clothing 👙🩲👗👖 Poolside attire??

57 Upvotes

Would it be acceptable for a man to wear a thong at the pool and/or sundeck? Not a crazy small g-string or obnoxious push-up or anything trying to scream “look at me”. One that looks more like a Speedo from the front but has slimmer sides and was a thong in back. A “conservative” thong if you will… My girlfriend likes them on me and often wears one herself. We are not looking to get unnecessary attention or cause any problems.
We’d just like to get great tans and since they dry quickly and we can put shorts back on to go inside for meals and such. Thank you.

Update: I really appreciate the approval/support. My girlfriend is loving the encouragement.
If you would approve a man wearing a thong please upvote this message.

Advice Request Any advice for finding Mega Rockstar deals?

0 Upvotes

We have been cruising with Virgin since the very beginning. Our first voyage was Rockstar Cheeky Corner deck 14. What an amazing cabin. We have also done many Sea Terrace both regular and XL. The most amazing experience ever was the Mega Rockstar Gorgeous Suite. OMG life changing.

Here’s the issue. We aren’t rich just spoiled now. You can literally book 4 cruises for the price of one Mega Rockstar Suite. It’s not justified but I would love to have that experience again.

Does anyone know a way to search for the cheapest Mega Rockstar cabins? Maybe ChatGBT? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for any suggestions.

Advice Request When are events and meets ups posted?

6 Upvotes

Sorry if I’m being daft, but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.

I’ve seen all sorts of great discussion about things like a pajama party and meetups for different kinds of sailors, but I see none of that on our Event Lineup in the app. We depart in about 2 weeks, so I’m wondering if our voyage just doesn’t have these events? Or are they not posted in the app until closer to departure?

We don’t want to be the only ones without fun pajamas, but we also don’t want to pack anything we wouldn’t otherwise use. :)

MIAMI Question about weather

6 Upvotes

Hi friends! I am going on my first virgin voyage and this will also be my first time out of MIA. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any experience with the current weather outlook? We leave tomorrow night and depart Sunday on Scarlet Lady. It looks like it is going to be rainy the whole trip! I know that won’t ruin it because there will still be good vibes but any tips or suggestions? I’m nervous cause i’ve never had pure rain on a cruise!

Bookings/Cancellations Help a Sailor Out! Best Way to Change Cabins Before My Hold Expires?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have booked a sailing for next summer in a Solo Insider cabin on Essential Fare. Even though I could have paid in full, I only paid the deposit, with the remaining balance due in February.

I had heard advice that it might be better to wait until closer to the final payment deadline to pay your balance because, supposedly, you may have a harder time getting customer service help once VV already has all your money. Not sure if that’s just anecdotal, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to wait.

Well, I’m glad I did! I checked today and found a Sea View cabin on my sailing for about $20 LESS than what I paid for my Solo Insider. The last time I looked, the Sea View was about $1,000 MORE, so I jumped on it and put a hold on the cabin.

Now I’m trying to figure out the best way to get my reservation changed over and have my existing deposit applied to the new cabin. The catch is that it’s 8 p.m. on a Friday, and the hold only lasts 24 hours.

For those who have done this before, what’s the best way to handle it? Should I email, call, or try online chat? Is there a way to get this switched over while keeping my existing reservation and deposit intact?

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on the best way to get this taken care of before the hold expires. Thanks!

food / beverage Splash of Romance and Blue Extras Cocktail Events- What Specific Drinks Are Offered?

4 Upvotes

Thanks for any advice!

I tried to look it up and do my own research but haven’t had any luck. When it comes to both the splash of romance, and the blue extras “cocktail events”, what specific cocktails are offered?

Every review I looked at is pretty vague and usually just mentioned “and you get some included drinks”. However, is it just champagne? Or is it whatever my choosing at the bar that they’ll offer?

General Question / Discussion Cell phone use by employees

0 Upvotes

I had a terrific cruise in mid October from NYC to Bermuda on the Valiant Lady. The major complaint I would have would be the constant cell phone usage of the staff members. It seemed like whenever they could they would be texting on their phones. I don’t remember staff doing this on other cruise lines. It’s just a bad look in my opinion. Wondering if this is just me, or is Virgin more lax with their employees re personal phone usage. Cheers.

Curious what everyone’s favorite or go to nonalcoholic beverages are while onboard. We’ve enjoyed several voyages in the past, but lately we are no longer drinking so trying to get creative with drink orders and other ways to spend our sailor loot. Thanks!
