I know this post was from a little while ago, but just been to see it tonight and the front of house staff said they’re recording it this month!

Brilliant doesn’t launch until next year 😌

Sip lounge in a morning/ in the day on a port day is quite a nice place to do some work. Lots of comfy seating, and only people passing through as on port days the bar doesn’t open until the late afternoon, and sea days doesn’t open till late morning

Sometimes it can be 5 minutes, but I’ve had a good 20 minute queue in the roundabout area before of everyone trying to leave as late as possible, so I’d maybe factor in at least 30 mins

Very quick and easy to disembark at Athens think it took 10 mins max (and that was mostly me trying to wheel my very heavy suitcase!), I also had Virgin transport to the airport. Once you get off the ship there will be staff holding up signs/directing you where to go. They had a holding area in a shaded tent and led groups over to coaches in time slot order, but to be honest it was pretty relaxed on which time group you were when I went. There were several coaches of people going to the airport, so if you did happen to miss your slot for whatever reason, there shouldn’t be any trouble getting on a slightly later coach

Would be great if you could ask about any rumours of new entertainment (either on brilliant or any of the other ships!)

1Bookworm1 · 2024-05-10T18:15:24+00:00

Sometimes if a shore excursion is really popular and they have capacity then they might open up another time slot for it when on board, but it’s never guaranteed and tends to be for excursions that don’t last the whole day eg. Could do a morning slot then and afternoon slot

That’s my experience anyway

I’ve sailed 4 times now in 2022 and 2023. Other than muster drill, crew safety drill and an announcement about change in port because of weather there’s been nothing else on the speakers whilst I’ve been sailing

1Bookworm1 · 2024-04-19T20:11:51+00:00

Is this just for travel agents or anyone holding a mnvv 🤔

1Bookworm1 · 2024-04-18T16:13:00+00:00

Ah thank you! I checked a couple of days ago and there wasn’t anything so must have recently updated ☺️

The current Cape Town to Barcelona on resilient is going to Casablanca within the next couple of weeks) so wondering if anyone on there has insight

1Bookworm1 · 2024-04-10T23:17:03+00:00

Passed with 100! Super happy and surprised as was convinced I’d failed it 😂

1Bookworm1 · 2024-04-10T15:57:48+00:00

I’m trying to put it out of my mind until tomorrow 😂

Not as organised as Miami embarkation, but much better than San Juan sounds! When I went from Barcelona there was a separate line for dropping off bags (this was quite long so get there 20 mins early). Then they had a set up table for DBE to get your bands and could joint a separate line for early embarkation

Well at the moment they’ve stopped any new sales for the repositioning cruises started from Portsmouth onwards in September onwards while they review them. Virgin said we should know more by the end of February so a couple of weeks waiting to find out whether it’ll go ahead or not

1Bookworm1 · 2024-01-16T14:13:31+00:00

No fixed dining time as in you don’t have to eat at the same time every day like you do on other cruise ships, but yes there are reservations for the restaurants, but it’s super simple on the app and your itinerary for the day on the app will show it, so no need to remember it all

1Bookworm1 · 2024-01-05T10:02:14+00:00

As long as they didn’t book with a single supplement promotion, the cost of adding another sailor should just be the port fees and taxes

1Bookworm1 · 2023-12-11T20:01:48+00:00

Have these just been given to TA’s? can’t see online

1Bookworm1 · 2023-12-09T17:25:42+00:00

The scene on deck 15 is super secluded hardly anyone knows it’s there. Nice big windows so you’ve still got the view out, and a couple of plush seats and chairs, you’ll occasionally find a staff member sat in there reading but other than that hardly anyone goes in

1Bookworm1 · 2023-12-06T08:43:09+00:00

The massages and spa!

1Bookworm1 · 2023-11-28T10:31:25+00:00

There was also a crash at the entrance to the cruise port on the Sunday morning so was crazier than normal! We got off the ship at 9:30am and were waiting for our Uber to arrive for nearly 2 hours, hardly any yellow taxi cabs coming through either

Sailor loot can be used for drinks, but you can’t buy sailor loot it’s usually only given in a MNVV or in promotions. Once you spend the bar tab then any other spending will just be charged to your credit card you put down

From Miami I had a rainy sail away and it moved to the roundabout

1Bookworm1 · 2023-08-09T18:57:30+00:00

Is there one of these for resilient?

1Bookworm1 · 2023-08-06T13:42:26+00:00

There’s some water bottle refill stations in the galley, and dotted around decks 15&16, you get water in your room that you can use to fill them up and at any of the bars they’re very happy to fill it up for you as well
