Please forgive me if this was posted, but I can't find it. Does anyone have a list of the brands for various spirits categories (Scarlet Lady preferably) if such a thing exists? Thanks

Do you know if there is a difference in this procedure between Rockstar vs Mega suite guests?

It appears as though the menus look somewhat limited, and most of the dishes offered (in the nicer restaurants in particular) are creative and include sauces and other interesting combinations. I love that, but not everyone does. So my question is are they receptive to any sort of special requests (like the grilled chicken without sauce, as an example)? Has anyone who might be a picky eater, or is married to one made such requests? Thanks

Question about Extra Virgin's menu for those who have been there recently. The menu seems a little limited for an Italian restaurant. Can one get basic spaghetti and marinara, or a chicken parm, for example? Just curious....

I had posted about this same thing recently. I booked online and called the next day to see if I could upgrade my suite. That's when I was told about the Florida resident discount, which really reduced the effective cost of my upgrade. Very glad I called.

Nothing is going to rain on my parade. First cruise since October 2019...and we can't wait to be back on the ocean, and to try Virgin.

My wife isn't thrilled about it. Obviously concerned some rich and powerful woman will try to steal me away. 😉 Or maybe that's a motivation for her to go....not sure which!

How do we know that? Curious how to tell how full a ship is in advance of the cruise. Thanks

41 minutes.

I had the same thoughts, but I suppose my questions arise from the need to delay every ensuing departure and arrival time throughout the cruise if it's only about the 200 people who sign up. Is it possible that there are way more than the 200 on board (but the 200 is only for those who want to pay the extra $500 for the special events)? I am not concerned with there being more women than usual...the more the merrier, lol....but the question is more about whether the usual activities and shows for the masses will be altered or different than a regular voyage.

I booked this voyage a couple of weeks ago, without knowing anything about this (sailing 4/14-19) Virgin Website Link We received an email yesterday informing us that embarkation and leaving port (and subsequent port arrivals) would all be delayed by an hour as a result of this "one time" event. I am sure the event will be great for those to whom it applies and those who will be participating....hopefully it won't dominate the overall cruise experience for those of us who aren't participating. That Virgin is offering to change our cruise (stated in the email we received) if we prefer is both nice of them and concerning at the same time. It's too close to the cruise for us to even seriously consider changing anyway. Curious if anyone in this group has an thoughts or insights for us. Thanks

Sometimes I call and use your name. Sorry, I'll stop doing that. 😉

What's the best place to get your basic eggs and bacon type breakfast in the mornings, without a reservation, and not needing a big brunch? I believe I have read something about Wake and Razzle Dazzle...are those the places (other than the Galley)? Thanks

Where/when do you sign up for this tour? I don't see it on the app...do you do it once onboard? Thanks

Thanks again. My wife loves falling asleep to the TV and we are one of those dreaded types who always has the TV on as well lol.

Wow...great info. Is there a power source close enough to plug the firestick into? Also, how is the TV programming on these ships? Similar to the limited channels we see on other cruise lines (and with the endless loops of the same shows repeating)?

Does anyone know if Rockstar cabanas at Bimini Beach club open up when you get aboard the ship...or are they really sold out as it appears on the app for me?

Awesome!

Thanks. I get that you can't change inputs, so that takes care of that...but doesn't that TV on the side wall in the GS swivel so you can angle it towards the bed?

Has anyone done this? Thanks

So you can go to any bar and buy a new, unopened bottle of say Tito’s without a problem?

Speaking of booking via the website, here is a tip for Florida residents. I booked via the website. The next morning, I found myself wishing I had booked a higher category. So I called Virgin to see if they would allow me to switch. After speaking to someone who was, let’s say not the sharpest bulb on the tree (she told me to simply cancel and rebook…even though the cruise is only 30 days away and I would have lost my entire fare), transferred and disconnected, I called back and i fortunately reached to a very knowledgeable person. Yes, they would be happy to change my reservation. She then asked if I’m a FL resident, which I am, and she informed me I’m entitled to a 10% discount on the entire fare, so the upgrade after the reduction was in effect not much more I was originally paying. Bottom line after this long-winded post is that the website didn’t seem to mention or note a Florida resident discount (unless I missed it). So it paid for me to call.

Any feedback if you have? Also, is there a designated area for rockstars or MRS? Thanks!

So I received a callback as well. Absolutely fantastic attitude from the rep...great demeanor and fun to talk with. Took instructions about our bar requests, arranged our transportation, and assured us we would be accommodated with our dining requests when we are aboard. Pretty much the same as what @ownedbypets wrote. Confirmation email on the transportation arrived shortly thereafter. Very impressed by the service so far!

We just booked a last minute Mega that leaves next month. Very excited! Pretty much nothing available with the better restaurants, but on the advice of many in several threads, we won't stress and will deal with it when we board. That being said, I got an email about connecting with an agent to make pre-cruise arrangements. I called and left a callback number earlier today. Does anyone know what kinds of things we discuss (and if they do actually call you back!)? Thanks again!
