We thought embarkation was a disorganized mess. Lines everywhere and even the people in charge didn't seem to know what was going on. Then more lines onboard to get our dining reservations sorted after the app deleted them all. Fortunately once onboard and settled we are having a very good time. Enjoying the food and meeting new friends.

What can I expect on Scarlet Lady ? Thanks!

So, after all of you provided helpful advice, and after a long time on the app and the phone, eventually, as noted above, our new TA was very helpful in getting all of our dinner reservations in place. Today I wake up to numerous messages on the VV app. All of our previous reservations have been cancelled and new ones - different dates, times and restaurants are on my Agenda. WTH ?? Not an auspicious start to our first cruise with VV. 😞

Good morning. Where would an early bird go for a hot cup of coffee on Scarlet Lady? And what is the earliest time it might be available? Thanks @

I have unsuccessfully been searching "My Cunard" to verify that my OBC and shareholder credit have been applied to our voyage. It does not appear to be in the "Booking Summary" or "Before You Sail" as I might expect. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Thank you @alserrod for taking the time to provide all of this useful information !

So, we are not booked in a Rock Star or Mega Rock Star cabin, and according to Sailor Services are not eligible for any VV shuttle to the airport. I am trying to figure out other ways to accomplish this. I did see that a company Moventis provides this service for €16, but don't know which of the 7 terminals the Scarlet Lady will dock. (The Port de Barcelona website provides the error message "No data available in table" when researching ship arrivals.) Can you help? We don't mind taking trains, buses, taxis or Ubers! Thanks !

Thanks again for all of the replies. We had no success with the app and minimal success by calling. Even the reps on the phone were complaining about the "slow computers". And we got disconnected twice while on hold ... However, we happened to meet a nice TA on another cruise and he called his office to make the reservations for us. Now he is our new TA ! 🙂

We just got off the Flora (fantastic!) and full-face snorkel masks were "not recommended". The ship had plenty of snorkeling gear in all sizes as well as wet suits. Enjoy your trip !

Lots of thumbs up for Celebrity on this thread. However, we sailed with them recently and it was not so great. Undoubtedly it depends on which ship you sail on and your cabin category. Looking forward to our first VV cruise coming up soon !

Thanks all for your useful advice !

Hi, Our first VV cruise, 2 weeks long, is in a couple of months. I recall reading on this board that we could sign up for dinner reservations at some point prior. Could someone please remind me of when that becomes available. What restaurants to do you recommend we sign up for first? In addition to dining are there other things/events we should be thinking about? I have read mixed reviews of using the app to sign up. Are there other options? Thanks for any advice !

We spent almost four months on her last year and had a blast !

Actually, you can walk and we did it. Here are the directions. (We pre-purchased tickets for 9 am and had no problem. Good luck !

Agree there. The smoking in the casinos on Princess is definitely a negative for us. And, when that door to Churchill's Lounge opens, the clouds of smelly smoke drift out into the hallway.
