Was looking at the Greek Island Glow itinerary for July 2025. Almost $5k for a regular sea terrace cabin. 😮

Yes, they have a whole category of solo cabins (inside and Oceanview)This is what I was first going to book when planning my birthday cruise. However, I ended up roping in a few friends so ended up just going with a regular balcony room (sea terrace). In the future, I definitely want to try one of their solo cabins, especially the Oceanview one.

That's good to know. I will keep that in mind. When I booked my mother's cruise back in 2015 with Carnival. I used a TA, and I could have sworn I made payments directly on Carnival's website. But I do not 100% remember. But now I know with Virgin, this is possible.

I have another question. I made my initial deposit through the TA and I asked her going forward could I make payments directly on the virgin voyages website. She said I would have to make payments through her. However, when I got onto the website, I have an option to make payments. Would it matter either way to make payments directly on the website, or through the TA?

Oh, this is good to know! I did book with a TA who has been great so far. I will definitely utilize her with the reservations.

Thanks for this. I was able to get a 1:45 check-in time.

I saw something briefly about the positioning of the double beds. Definitely an odd set up, but fine with me. That's good to know about the fitness classes, etc. I heard they fill up quickly and there are a couple that I am interested in taking. Thank you! Where can I go to see the check-in times. I've looked online and in the app but could not find anything.

I booked last week. I just checked the price for my sailing, price for the same category cabin I got is now about $600 more.

Hi all! I will be going on my first ever cruise on the VL in July 2024 for my birthday. Funny enough, I've paid for a cruise (for my mom's 50th birthday a few years back) but I've never been on one. I will be going on the trip with a few friends, and sharing a cabin with one of them. When do I let Virgin know the bed in the cabin will need to be separated. Is this something I would tell the room attendant once on board? Also, when signing up for a check-in time at the terminal. Is it like airlines where check-in opens up 24 hours before, then you go into the app to pick your time slot? What usually is the earliest time you can check-in and get on the ship. We plan to fly in the night before, and I want to know the earliest I can leave the hotel to make my way to the terminal. Lastly, from what I've been reading, I would only be able to make reservations for restaurants, sign up for fitness classes, etc. once on board and connected to the ship's wifi?
