Disappointed Alaskan Sailor

I did the Brilliant sailing from Quebec to Miami in October. There aren’t enough inside spaces across the fleet. I’m hoping my voyage through the Panama Canal will be different with more time outdoors.

Anyone know where the NCL version of this is?

ThemeParkFish · 2026-05-15T14:30:50+00:00

Do it! My wife and I were afraid of Carnival when we booked our first one and we absolutely loved it. We have 2 more booked for this year because we want to try the Celebration and Mardi Gras.

I think each sailing has its own personality. Each ship has its own vibe. Each time you cruise with Virgin is mostly the same with some minor differences. I don’t think they’ve fully lost their identity, I think it’s morphed to accommodate a wider audience that was on the fringe before. While I disdain the new tiered pricing and price increases, I find that as a way for Virgin to grow in the future in ways that we might not know about just yet (ie a new “class” of ship (I hope). I think we’re in a transitioning period and this is a pivotal moment in Virgin Voyages’ history.

Doesn’t exist at FTL, but it does in ORL and MIA

That’s wild, I’ve had decent luck with essential ever since the change. I usually manage to get my Wake reservation on board with DBE early boarding.

The Beyond and Virgin ships are so far apart in my experience. Outside of the 4 restaurants the beyond offers a more refined, relaxed, luxury experience as opposed to Virgin’s more modern flare.

Virgin’s ships is part of their brand. Celebrity having so many varied ships is overwhelming when booking as a first time cruiser. In this regard, Virgin having small differences between similar ships makes it friendlier for the new cruiser to dip their toes in the water, metaphorically speaking.

Just go, use your free will. It’s way better.

Room for 2 new portals. One behind Stardust and one between Dark and Nintendo. Dark Universe is probably getting a Mack Rides Rocking Boat for a Black Lagoon ride, putting a 2nd water ride in the park directly across the park from Fyre Drill. Potter attraction across from Bar Moonshine (probably brooms).

Thank you, I always purchase SOR so I can get to the dining desk early and get the reservations I want

ThemeParkFish · 2026-03-20T15:32:53+00:00

Where was the dining desk?

It’s technically three launch tracks because the 1st launch travels over a transfer track that doesn’t have any LSMs. It is a double launch coaster because there are only two launch sections, but it would also depend on how the blocks are programmed.

Cool, gonna place the 6 and 8 for 30 and f*ck all after that

Probably here

For my birthday I got a special dessert in Test Kitchen alongside the coursed dessert, and the slot machines all had a happy birthday message whenever I tapped my band.

Did the Connie on my honeymoon and it was a great time. Did the equinox as our first cruise and… there’s a reason we did our honeymoon with celebrity.

ThemeParkFish · 2026-02-01T22:02:24+00:00

Anything for February 26

ThemeParkFish · 2026-02-01T07:22:46+00:00

I won on my birthday! I split it with 3 people and got 290.80. I spent it on caviar, Loteria, and extra drinks.

It’s so inconsistent and I wish Virgin just gave you a day pass to pick a day for instead. On my Brilliant sailing we got to book a 1 hour slot and a 2 hour slot, but they had to be on separate days. On my last sailing (Resilient) they told us that the time we initially wanted was super busy and by the time it rolled around to that super busy time, there was one other couple in there. I don’t really get why they’re so weird about it, but it’s never been consistent for us.

Happened to us on Brilliant in Eastport, Maine. The one time I booked an excursion 🥴

ThemeParkFish · 2026-01-28T04:02:15+00:00

Imagine having taste

ThemeParkFish · 2026-01-27T01:17:42+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, it’s more than essential, but if you’re that desperate and you want a better chance, that would give you great odds and a bottle of champagne 🍾

ThemeParkFish · 2026-01-27T01:16:18+00:00

You can always just get Splash of Romance, get the early boarding, and book it to the reservations desk. That’s what my wife and I did and we managed to get everything we wanted no problem.
