Sea is definitely more rocky this evening

Bit rocky today but not terrible

Generally on embarkation day most of the casual dining places like Galley stations and The Dock open at 1.30pm as soon as people board. Brunch stops at 10am. So for those doing I expect b2b you’ll need to wait til 1.30pm to get lunch.

Got Ship Eats delivered this morning and our four portions of drip coffee came in flasks with plastic cups to pour it into. The half and half was in paper cups. But also each flask does almost two cups, so the four portions is actually closer to eight coffees with milk!

Thats unusual as we’ve always had the drip coffee delivered in small flasks and only speciality coffee like americano come in paper cups. How many servings did you order?

It will appear in the schedule in the app about a week before the cruise. I don’t think it’s possible to find out earlier.

Are you sure it was book and not just add to agenda?

I expect it depends on the layout of the port and stuff like how walkable it on whether they run a shuttle or not. On VV we’ve had shuttles at Mykonos, Ibiza and Funchal (this isn’t an overnight stop).

In Ibiza we returned to the ship at 3-4am, the shuttle bus even ran all night.

I’ve done the same and used the purple one. I also only wore the blue one for the first few days for the drink party and the boarding .

those who have deep blue extras and therefore get the early boarding get a plain blue non-removable wristband to designate they have the priority boarding. This applies to anyone who has deep blue, sea blazer, rover or other. the keepsake band for sea blazer is just a keepsake.

Back on my first few VV cruises the VHS workout was always first come anyway. I was surprised last year when they wanted to scan my band!

It’s usually at The Perch (but may be in On the Rocks if bad weather). There is sangria or sparkling wine and glasses are constantly topped up so you will get plenty. Usually the solo guitarist is playing. The Splash of Romance party is the same.

You can now book brunch in the app, same as dinner. This changed about 6-12 months ago. Before that it was book onboard. I’ve already got my reservation for brunch on Monday

No it only applies to the one booking it is bought for. You can’t carry it forward even if doing B2B. Only way round it slightly would be to buy bottles and store them for the next leg of the b2b. Or you buy one for the seven night and more for the 14 night.
