If you have a chance, I’d love to see a wine (bottle) list !

Are you even on a real cruise? 😂 Where IS everyone? Crazy how little we see of people in your photos!

Please report back whether they have a drag brunch or not…and on which day it happens. Have a great time!

Exciting!

I was able to make a few dining reservations for my sailing Oct 15-20 for only the first 3 days, but now I can’t get on the app again. Lol I hope it works better onboard.

I’ll be on the October 15-20 sailing. Did you get your bands and luggage tags yet?

Just an FYI for everyone, was on the phone with them this morning. It seems nobody can book restaurants right now, they’re still working on the app. We are 43 days out.

Had the same issues…it works on my husband’s Android phone but not on my Apple phone. Lol

Hmm, did you fill out all your check in info first by any chance? I wonder if I can do it and just edit the passport date later…

I think I may have answered my own question - I just watched a new review on YouTube and they said most of the bookable experiences can only be done once on the ship and connected to the ship’s WiFi. And the guy on the review was specifically scrolling through the restaurants when he said that. Hmmmmm

I saw that VV decided to pull out of Key West voluntarily because the citizens of KW voted to remove cruise ships from their port to protect their natural environment and the governor/legislation overrode it. So although Nassau is not the best port, that was responsible of VV to pull out.

Hey all, I’m under 60 days out in a rock star suite and cannot book anything…it shows the times and party size to choose but then no matter what time or party size I choose it just says “No Bookings Needed” lol I tried reaching out but so far no response. Any ideas?

I will say I have not done my check in yet because I’m waiting for my passport renewal to come in (a topic for another day, it expires 5 months after our trip LOL) so I can’t input that information yet…is that a possible reason why it won’t let me book anything?

I also found it strange that they’re running a new “campaign” when they’ve yet to sail ONCE.

I’m scheduled in October (also for the 3rd or 4th time, can’t keep track anymore), and at this point I’m about 10% sure that’s even happening. I still feel like it’s a pipe dream at this point.

I am curious how this is gonna play out, as things have changed drastically since this was announced. Does anyone know how they’re handling it in the UK?

I’ve tried to rebook and their website is wonky, every cruise I try to book says “this sailing is unavailable”. I guess I’ll call them. It does feel like a pipe dream...

Yep lol this sucks! I’m trying to figure out what it means if you’ve cancelled more than once. It says:

Full Future Voyage Credit
Your full Future Voyage Credit will be restored to use toward a future sailing, and our standard cancellation policies will apply. The FVC is valid for redemption up to a year after the impacted voyage start date and can be applied to any sailing with open inventory through 2022.

So does that mean even though I’ve only paid a deposit for the second cruise I’ve booked (that is now cancelled) that I will get a credit in the full amount of the cruise cost? 
So confused.

How far in advance can you book the Bimini cabana?

This makes me feel good that I’ll actually be onboard in September. It was a smart move by VV. They’ll be the only ones sailing lol

It seems like the coolest perks, some of which made me want to book the mega suite, are gone! What a bummer. I took the full refund and I’m glad because I don’t feel all that confident that this cruise line is going to be successful...I’ll wait until it’s finally sailing a few months at least and see what others think before rebooking. And wow, how is their website STILL as bad as before? They’ve had quite some time to work out the kinks. Also doesn’t instill confidence...

Yes, my refund came in 2 parts. I actually emailed them and then got my deposit back separately, about 2 weeks later. 

FYI Only some of my refund was received, not my initial deposit from last year, and no credit is showing even though in my account it says “you have credit”.

Wait wut? So how the heck do we get refunds? Their phone lines are gonna be a mess!! I’m scheduled for July 10.

Look for an embarkation special. On the Breakaway last fall they offered 50% off pressing for the day we boarded. We’ve decided to go this route from now on for my DH’s button down shirts and 1 or 2 of my dresses. Use Downey wrinkle release for other more casual clothes but DH likes to wear a dress shirt/tie a few nights which I don’t even bother ironing before we leave anymore. 

That’s awesome. I certainly will look when I get on. Thanks!

Yeah sometimes that works but not with everything, and I’m kinda crazy about wearing clothes with any wrinkles. I know I should try packing clothes that wrinkle less, but that isn’t gonna happen. 😂 I will probably just ask my room stew as soon as I meet him/her. 

I feel like I did get my clothes steamed one other cruise a while back but now I can’t remember! 😠
