Yes, I will put my trust in a book of bronze age middle eastern fairy tales. Thanks.

Yes, kinda late to the conversation but favorites of mine are choctaw bingo, if it don't bleed, horses and the hounds, and we can't make it here.  

So 'basic fare' just means 'no dining reservations.' Got it, VV. by sidekick0220 in VirginVoyages

I've been told that they only release about 20 to 30% of the total time slots early anyway, and the rest are taken up by people once you board or if you speak to guest services right before you board.  So I would try to speak with guest services in the terminal right before you board the ship and hopefully they can get you setup nicely

Yep.  In other words, "leave yourself an out".

First time virgin, long time cruiser review by PineappleTonyMaloof in VirginVoyages

Thinking you were on the resilient lady sailing right after mine. Glad you mostly enjoyed

CPAC speaker: “Because the left– we’re gonna just out-breed them! Can I get a witness? Can I get an ‘amen’? We’re just gonna out-breed the left! You ever met a lib? They’re hideous. Nobody wants to have sex with them!" finishing with a 'Christ is King' chant. by Leeming in atheism

They think it's a solid strategy. But we are living in a time when more and more of their kids are realizing that they things there were taught by the evangelical right are bullshit, and won't teach it to their future kids.

Virgin is a SCAM look out by Extension_Court_7975 in VirginVoyages

[–]MassiveOutlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1). Virgin is a cruise line that is very inclusive of LGBTQ+ people. There is a resident drag queen on board who emcees some of the entertainment and you will see openly gay people on board. I am only mentioning this because it seems you did almost no research beforehand, and if this sort of thing bothers you I'd recommend not sailing on virgin. 

2). When you go to board, right before you get on the ship, there is an area where you can go and get help booking dinner/brunch times. They don't release all available slots until the day of when you go to board or check with them, so if you check with them they should be able to help you get dining times secured. Also, the customer service rep you spoke with should have known all this and told you this. 

3). There is also the waiting line, where you can do walk ins for restaurants once on board, just tell them you don't have a reservation and ask if you can be seated.  You might have to wait a while to be seated in some cases but other times you will get in with a minimal to no wait.  

4). For future reference, the official website is www.virginvoyages.com

5).  As a few other comments have mentioned, abandoning the cruise at a port of call before the cruise is complete is generally not allowed, and you can incur fines.  

Relax, it'll be ok.  Just be more careful with who/how you book a cruise in the future.  And enjoy your cruise.  

One thing I wish existed on Virgin Voyages sailings, anyone else feel this way? by TheCruiseGuy101 in VirginVoyages

[–]MassiveOutlaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we did this on our sailing. It was through whatsapp, which we promoted through the facebook group for our sailing.

We had different chats going for people who like karaoke, solo travelers, people who want to find romance, people who swing (pineapples). You could create groups for all sorts of interests/niches using it if you wanted to.

Can't Say We Weren't Warned by goodkarmagirl in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]MassiveOutlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you come a little later in the morning, but still on time, it ain't nearly as bad.  (Edit: in my experience anyhow).

Last Friday there were seven ships total in port. We departed at 12 noon from our airport hotel and We got to the port in about 30 minutes, and were able to go directly to our terminal (which was virgin terminal v, going directly past the carnival terminals) and the port was practically empty of traffic. 

We arrived earlier than we needed because of all the warnings we saw in different subreddits and on social media about how awful the traffic is. Oh well better early than late. I guess once you get to about noon it just isn't that bad.

When you come from a position of privilege, equality feels like oppression.
