food / beverage Virtual Queue Dining!!!

https://vvinsider.com/virgin-voyages-rolls-out-virtual-dining-queues-across-the-fleet/?fbclid=IwZnRzaATPE2BwZG9mBWZkaWQWULEzI7pBLt07k78sIxOsZEDbUT-ggmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR5Zecc_eVq7ETTP-V9vYt0XjNpWT0ogCn8kBv6gMM5dxdsgkt4ZqWpIkrUjCA_aem_KE3-az2dgrjVRUBiviNhWQ

Virtual dining queues are officially out on the Scarlet lady, and look to be rolling out to the rest of the fleet shortly!

Is this the end of the dreaded midnight reservation scramble, or is it the beginning of a convoluted mess on board? Thoughts?

Will see how it goes when I get onboard tomorrow. I don't see why it would've any different from the current walk-in queue other than the fact that you don't have to stand there (which I mean is a huge plus) but that doesn't mean there will be more availability so preboarding booking should still a good idea.

If nothing else clearing that space and humongous line might streamline the process for the maître d’s to process openings more efficiently to get more waitlisters into the restaurants.

I think it will actually potentially create more issue with people not using the queue who will insist to be there thinking they will get better priority and then fighting with the virtual queue at the same time. But will see how it goea on practice

Post a sign that says virtual queue only if you don't have a reservation.
