I didn't ask for the specific number though. Thank you Ichiban35. That's why I was curious. In August we had no problem walking up at breakfast and being sat right away, but in October we were turned away at both The Wake and Razzle Dazzle. So I learned my lesson and made reservations for the remaining days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ociana Posted May 24, 2023 #1030 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Another suggestion for you Sid - Head over to the Social Club where the Artist should be starting an art scavenger hunt about now. They will have a QR code to scan and it has clues to find various art on the ship. It can totally be done as a solo activity to find each of the art things listed and there are some neat ones I hadn't noticed before doing that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no problem getting in, but I went at 8:30 am when it wasn't too busy yet... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I learned my lesson and made reservations for the remaining days. To clarify, we got the walk in warning for dinner reservations. We haven't needed breakfast reservations since we've hit the Galley every day. Though @Ociana's recommendation for avo toast is intriguing me now.

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1035 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I went up to the pool deck for awhile to get some sun... I'm trying to block out a little time here just for myself, as I currently don't have any more vacation plans until January of next year... There's a possibility of another Virgin Voyages cruise in October, but it's not set in stone yet. I guess that it's time to take a shower and get ready to find something for lunch. I've got the tequila class at 3:00, so I've got three hours to kill between now and then... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the walk through this morning. Cruise does not look too full. Mine in April was full of bloggers and vloggers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1037 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Exactly noon, and I guess I'm going to see what looks good for lunch since I haven't eaten in three hours... 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ichiban35 Posted May 24, 2023 #1040 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Public service announcement: Just learned that you can get locked out on the balcony on this ship! 😆 The outside balcony door handle doesn't lock and unlock, only has a grip handle. It was hilarious but probably only because a bathroom crisis (after 3 mojitos) was averted by our agent letting housekeeping know to come back within minutes. 🤭 Edited May 24, 2023 by ichiban35 3 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1041 Share Posted May 24, 2023 The chicken pesto pizza was ready in about five minutes or so... Looks great! 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1042 Share Posted May 24, 2023 In case anyone wants to get me something for Christmas, I'm a size smixin smart hand washing system... First, it spits soap on your hands, then water, and next a paper towel descends from the top... I only wish it gave you just a smidge more paper towel... 10 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1043 Share Posted May 24, 2023 The verdict on the pizza place is that it's not just good for a "cruise ship pizza", but it's a really great pizza with a nice crust and great flavor. The Caesar salad was fresh and the lettuce crispy, and it had real slices of parmesan cheese, not that powdered stuff... 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1044 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Pool deck is pretty slammed right now... That water looks wayyy too cloudy for me to get into... Maybe that huge nice pool at Bimini tomorrow though... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ociana Posted May 24, 2023 #1045 Share Posted May 24, 2023 That pizza is also on my crave list...so good. My hubby and I take a "pretty fly for a white pie" and a pepperoni, then sandwich them together. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ociana Posted May 24, 2023 #1046 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Sid - have you been in the room that is just off of the pool area? I think it's called the hangout or something on the map, but nobody is ever in there. The pillow in this photo from my house may have originated from that room... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1047 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I love it how people are just out here pounding those drinks at twelve o'clock in the afternoon... If I did that, I'd be in bed by six, and I'm a professional... I'm holding out till the tequila class at 3... 10 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've walked by it a hundred times, but I've never been in there. I've also never been in The Red Room except to take a couple of pictures on my very first Virgin Voyages cruise in 2021... There are probably other places on the ship I've never seen... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24, 2023 Author #1050 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) If people watching is your thing, then Virgin Voyages is definitely for you... You've got a little bit of everything, and I mean everything here... Thong bikinis, speedos, twinks, bears, cougars, milfs, tattoo people, and everything in between...
