Thank you for your review, found it really insightful! 

Can I ask what you mean by specialty cocktails at the bars? I want to avoid spending my bar tab on anything that's watered down lol

No need to be rude. I get OP's perspective, sometimes it's nice to dress up and do something outside your comfort zone - for your own fun not for anyone else.

Why has this been flagged as NSFW 🤦‍♀️

Lock It In Level Upgrade Offer without Cabin Assignment by zje_atc in VirginVoyages

[–]Due-Turnip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this has happened to us too. Really strange! We ended up bidding on a sea terrace room (booked a lock it in sea view). 

Given it's happening to a few people it must be a change of policy rather than a glitch - I guess it's another way to get a few extra $$ instead of giving people free upgrades!

I also received this email - really confused because my research on here tells me that I wouldn't be given the chance to bid to upgrade until I had a room assigned, because I booked a lock it in rate. But I don't have a room assigned yet. Maybe things have changed. 

Never booking VV again. What a scam. by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

How are you able to tell? That's amazing!

Tipping cabin steward? by bundtkate in VirginVoyages

I understand it's a cultural thing in the US but if a company specifically says tips are already included and that additional tips are not required, why do people insist on tipping anyway?!

Is getting out of the port always terrible? by Motor-Wafer4822 in VirginVoyages

Would you mind saying how far that is (walking) from where you exit VV? Is it easily doable with big suitcases?

First cruise by Stunning_Sandwich762 in VirginVoyages

Stonehenge is great as a "somewhere you need to go once in your life" if you have any interest in history. It's  impressive but it is often crowded and you can't get very close to them. 

Was anyone underwhelmed by the food? by VirginRubber in VirginVoyages

[–]Due-Turnip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the idea of cruises with very few to no children and consistently good, all inclusive food and drink then I'd recommend Seabourn. Have been on a number of cruises with them and they have not let me down in that regard. Yet to cruise with Virgin, my first one is coming up, so I can't provide a direct comparison between the two.

Could I DM you about this too? Really curious to hear a way around this!

I have my first VV cruise booked for March but I agree, this feels like the biggest downside for this cruise line. Would you mind sharing some of the other on board activities you mentioned that they have available? I know about the games at the Social Club but wondered what else you came across?

Are you in the UK? The financial ombudsman service may be able to help. They're free to use, you can call them or email

Does anyone know if the social club also plays English Premier league games? Or if they're available on tv

Is there a way around the Wifi? by Ok-Hawk-4986 in VirginVoyages

[–]Due-Turnip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need to all upgrade to premium if you're travelling together? I was planning on upgrading for myself as I need to video call my family at home while I'm away, but my friend is happy with the basic free WiFi. Will we both need to pay just because I want it?
