There should be no issue with a 9/30 cruise.. Unless Florida sticks to their guns to keep requiring proof of vaccination illegal.. As far as the app, it is a piece of garbage-You could delete and add it back in-That often fixes issues with apps-Mine is working fine(By Virgin Voyages standards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymfreedman Posted October 2, 2021 #806 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I asked where my band was, since the WEBSITE says they ship it 45 days in advance. Here is the reply: Thank you for your communication. You are correct typically we are striving to send the band 45 days prior to sailing as we are just ramping up Virgin Voyages bands are going out a bit closer to sailing at 5 -10 days prior to sailing at this time. Fear not however if you do not receive your band in time they will also be available for pick up at the port. They haven no clue what they are doing...

I told them on October 1st I was traveling the week before, yet it is still shipped closed to sailing time.. Waste of fedex.. I'll have to pick up at port, and add that to my already long issue list with VV pre sailing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. I was just wondering about this a few days ago as we are booked on a November cruise. It looks like the first cruise is in April.

I'm also checking the VV website, regularly. But, since neither DH nor I do FB, we don't have access to that info. So, if anyone sees any new press releases -- or even any well founded rumors ;), please post them here.

IKEA meets dorm room. Sounds like they are trying to warm them up a bit, even add some art, and a crazy thing called drawers! Fairly unprecedented for brand new ships to have cabin remodels already. Now if they would only enlarge that pitiful pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealynx Posted January 25, 2022 #817 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Well, at least they've been listening to comments. I can only praise that. This is the first major design flaw of these ships that is being solved. And looking at the pictures and reading the story, the improvement is vast. Very happy to hear this news.

No I haven’t sailed them yet. So what? Doesn’t change or invalidate my opinion in any way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're passing judgement on a product you've never seen. ... No, that just invalidates someone's ability to take what you say seriously. Wake me when you've sailed VV.

sealynx Posted January 27, 2022 #822 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Well, for everyone there is a first time with a specific line or ship. To make our choice when booking a vacation, we will look at pictures, descriptions, reviews, etc. All to make a judgement of a ship/line we've never sailed on. Companies know this, its how the world works. And most of the reviews agreed the cabins were Ikea-ish (not necessarily bad though, half my furniture is from Ikea), bland and lacking storage space. Many showed this in video's and on pictures. So I agree, you need not to have sailed on a ship, to make judgement. That is how it works. I do hope for VV that this change will attract them more passengers. Listening to the reviews, I believe several more changes should be made though. Again, praises to VV for listening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
