  1. I asked them to. I posted it to Princess to begin with as it’s meant to provide context for those that specifically love the Princess brand to see if they should try this based what on they like/don’t like about Princess.
  2. yes, we actually forgot about it and booked them around dinner time and didn’t really have any issues booking shows. But always good just to do it first thing.
  3. Yes. You will be the first group to board, in San Juan it was 1:45.
  4. anything but Gunbae and Test kitchen and you will be fine. We did all the other restaurants and we averaged around an hour each.
  5. I’m glad others chimed in since we had just the one experience. But based on how dinner went I imagine 2 hours is standard. It was just DW and I for all our other meals and we were done with them all in about an hour. you can book it as soon as you connect to the ship WiFi. Thank you so much for the kind words. That’s the feeling I was going for and I’m glad we can help out here. Keep in mind my wife can do cross contamination as she isn’t celiac so I’m hoping your experience won’t be too much different. But they do a wonderful job with food allergies IMO.
  6. we really saw this everywhere. All the grab and go containers are hard plastic and reused. The coffee is served in reusable cups unless you need a true to go one. I give them a lot of credit for these things (and the added work that goes into having them) that we can see and I’m sure there is a lot more behind the scenes that we can’t.
  7. That’s the best part about this industry there is something for everyone!
  8. dont feel too bad. It’s my understanding that we only got our status matched for the cruise we took. I don’t think we would get the same benefit on our next one having only done the 1 trip in 2024. But I could be wrong. The coffee daily credit and premium WiFi we’re the best parts of the DBE (Deep Blue Extra) benefit for us, oh yea the priority embarkation was great as well. we were in a regular sea terrace and thought the beds were great and we love the Princess beds. I would say that’s in line with our experience last week. May even have been older, I didn’t feel like it was a really young crowd but that may also be because it was out of San Juan.
  9. it took us til day 3 to find us as it was tucked back in the social club. And another 5 min of looking around for the quarter machine til we figured out they were all free! We had so much fun here.
  10. You still get them at check in so having one won’t do you any good as we got asked 4 times to show our app in San Juan to confirm we had DBE to enter the terminal for early boarding.
  11. DW never placed a single order in advance like she normally had to and everything she got was leaps and bounds better than any other cruise where she ordered in advance. I’m fairly sure he would be just fine but always worth asking a head of time just to ensure.
  12. Nope. Apparently they had it and then got rid of it and now the taps serve some kind of boozy espresso. Too bad.
  13. not at all. Our cabin was quiet. The venues are pretty well isolated. Much like any cruise ship you hear it when you get closer to the venue. But I didn’t find it any louder than any Princess ship we have been on. Now our last NCL cruise, don’t get me started on that one, like sleeping in the middle of a dance club…..
  14. they do run a lot of specials and discounts. We booked on one and saved 40% overall I believe. You’ll have a great time. I also have to admit I’ve never seen an owner/CEO on board any cruise ship we have been on but we saw Sir Richard on ours. Apparently he tries to come aboard each cruise in the Caribbean if he can. Super nice guy, paused and talked with and spoke with everyone that wanted to say hello.
  15. Our adult only cruise ships aren’t just retreats for the rich and reality TV-famous, though. The Insider and Sea View cabins are priced attractively for people traveling alone — and subscribers to the Virgin Voyages email list are often notified of promotions on double occupancy rooms with no single supplement, meaning you can spread out without the customary extra charge. Take advantage of booking a single cabin on board a Virgin Voyage cruise ship, find a solo cruise deal and start saving. Our cruise cabins are super-yacht inspired cabins, built to optimize space and views. Perfect for solo travelers yearning for sophistication, relaxation, with VIP service! https://www.virginvoyages.com/ahoy/stories/cruising-solo
