    where to have breakfast?

    in Virgin Voyages

    Posted · Edited by Sherry84

    We were okay with walking up for both The Wake and Razzle Dazzle on day 1 and 2 but after that we were turned away from both the next time saying they were full and we need a reservation. Told us to come back after 10am but that was too late for us, lesson learned. So we ended up making reservations for breakfast/brunch after that. (We cruised 10/14-10/19, not sure how many people we had sailing but the ship seemed very full).

    We really enjoyed our 5 nights on Scarlet Lady, though that was not near enough time to try everything. Still looking at booking an 8 nighter on Valiant before she heads back across the pond. If Virgin replaces that net with a new pool and maybe swim up bar, that will be a darn near perfect ship. That's really the only complaint I had onboard was the tremendous wasted space on the back of Deck 16 with that net. Great photo op, but that's about it. If anyone wants to see it I have a 5 part vlog series on my YouTube channel with a food tour, cabin tour (Cheeky Corner Suite) and overall review of the ship. CC doesn't allow me to post directly links but you can find the Where's Walter Travel on YT channel easily enough. 🙂

     

    I'm really about curious your experience with the dining rooms and the crowds of late. We sailed with 1100 in July and everything was fantastic, but I have seen some posts saying the ship has gotten a little more chaotic as the ship has filled up. Long lines to wait for dinner, the "Grab N Go" not being replenished throughout the day and the like. The only real crowding we had in July was the pools because they're so small. But otherwise we had no issues with dining, Grab N Go, the shows and everything else. Did you find any issues with crowding and wait times onboard? 

    We sailed on Scarlet Lady for the second time 10/14-10/19 and unfortunately we had some issues we didn't have previously when we sailed with Virgin for the first time in August. Happily the Gran N Go were always availabe but in some restuarants (The Wake - dinner, Razzle Dazzle - breakfast) we waited forever for our food, (as did others around us), and in one case at The Dock where we were completely forgotten about.  It's unfortunate because the first time around it was an absolute perfect cruise which is what prompted us to book again for October. Also in October there were 3-4 times as many people as in August, perhaps that was the issue, but it really shoudn't be.

    Scarlet Lady “daily” (sea day today), can also answer questions.

    Not OP, but I've done the grog walk twice before.  Absolutely worth it - you get 4 drinks (+ potentially extras if there are leftovers that someone has to drink), get to mingle with other guests and happenings cast members and get to see a bunch of restaurants/bars on the ship in a short period of time.  I'd definitely recommend doing it on night 1 if you can get in - it gives a nice little kick-off overture of your trip!

    Fantastic, thank you!
