Did you like the balcony rooms? We have never sailed concierge before so I’m afraid I’ll really like it lol
Did you have issues booking dining or anything?any tips or suggestions if we are considering sailing with them? Virgin is on our short list for our next cruise.
We sailed in their inaugural year in an XL sea terrace, decided I really wanted to try a rockstar cabin the next year so we booked onboard for the Sweet Aft Suite I believe it’s called, it was the one right above The Dock directly on the aft of the ship - wow!
The balcony was GINORMOUS, loved the window in the shower lol, we had a full bar in the room that we had to take home all of it in our checked luggage because we had so much free bar tab promotion on that cruise that we couldn’t even touch it. We liked the champagne hour every evening on Richard’s rooftop, and we had a golf cart to take us to the beach club at Bimini instead of the tram ( like
Castaway Cay). I think the bed was more comfortable in the suite, but that didn’t stop us from booking an XL sea terrace for our third cruise…the prices had gone up, and we decided to save the money because the XL sea Terrace was perfectly fine for us.
So on our third cruise, 2023, we noticed one thing that didn’t seem to bother us before about the XL terrace, but was annoying enough to put in a survey…there is no door on the entire bathroom, just a door for the shower and a door for the toilet, which was fine for us, we are used to getting ready with each other and sharing the bathroom together, but I would imagine it might be awkward for people not used to that. What annoyed us was that if someone got up early in the morning or middle of night and turned the light on, it was soooo bright in the cabin! I suggested they put some kind of curtain up.
So for our fourth cruise this November we booked a central sea terrace, to save some money…again, prices have been increasing…so we will have the smaller bathroom, but I’m sure it will be fine
I have been in one of the regular central sea terraces to see the bathroom, it is small but it will be fine, the balcony is same size.
Just put a reminder on your calendar to book when dining opens and you will be fine, i was in charge of making the dining for five of us and I got what I wanted when our booking opened. We did want to change one and I tried to like a couple weeks before and they didn’t have what I wanted, so I had to go to Razzle Dazzle when we got onboard and they changed it for me for what we needed.
If you are interested in any of the paid events, book as soon as you get in the waiting area before you board, hook up to their Wi-Fi and do it. We have done the Grog Walk a couple times, the Lotteria, Painting with Boozie Bevvies, Shot for Shot, I can’t remember the name of the one with the competing bartenders but that was fun and so much to drink! lol
I have heard that you can’t book the shows beforehand anymore, you have to line up now, but that might change back, idk? I hope so. In any case, DO NOT MISS Dual Reality.
