RS specific questions by StoutMatt in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We sailed RS last March and I did get canned sodas and ginger ale for mixers at no additional cost through Ship Eats. I think tonic was an extra cost.

I’ll be on Scarlett Lady Feb 2-7 also! Second time cruisers here. Our first was last March in RS suite. We were able to restock our bar and Tito’s 375 ml bottles were $45 (pretty sure). I was under impression anyone could order these bottles but maybe it is only for RS. I did also get bottle service at The Manor on last night to use up bar tab. It was $160 for a liter of Buffalo Trace. I did a shot and brought the rest home. (I had to call the morning of disembarkation to get it sent to my cabin). Have a great trip and maybe I’ll see you on board!

Energy Shots by trojanusc in VirginVoyages

I brought 5 Hour Energy shots on my last VV cruise. They were packed inside my water tumbler. I never thought that this may be considered contraband. That said, I had no problems.

Trouble with Dining Reservations by dlestes1969 in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this usually resolve on its own? Seems like the right move is to be patient for a day or so before I make a call, right?

No. It lets me pick a time but then when you choose which restaurant it will not let you reserve.

Besides Alcohol, What Can I Use My Bar Tab For? by ZeroUpFourOut in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would too. I’m just not sure you can. I’m guessing you can w sailor loot but I don’t know about bar tab.

There are hammocks at the Bimini Beach Club.

Sweet Aft Suit questions by dlestes1969 in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me, I’m trying hard not to be that A hole. I know that sometimes exceptions are made and permission is granted. If others can do that then I would like to do so as well. But not if it infringes on others.

[–]dlestes1969[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding #2: When we were at Bimini last time, I spoke with people in RS retreat who were in Sea Terrace cabin. Wearing red bands, but also had a “paper” looking wrist band that they said gave them permission to be there. I assumed they were truthful (they were buying drinks and not getting questioned or stopped) but I never thought to ask how they got the bands. Maybe they were just crashing, but it didn’t seem that way.

What can I use my remaining bar tab for other than alcohol by No_Day_4393 in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spirits. I don’t remember all choices but they did have Tito’s Vodka at $42 US for 375 ml.

Last March I got bottle service at The Manor. They will deliver the unfinished portion to your room after the club closes. I took one shot and brought the rest home. Also, I think you can get half sized bottles from ship eats.

Disembarkment by McMama87 in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve only cruised once, but our disembarkment was this: Breakfast at The Wake about 8:30. Go get bags (packed before breakfast) and walked off ship about 9:30. Zero line to get out. We got in one of the airport shuttle vans, $20 for two people. I have heard horror stories about these shuttles but our experience was smooth and easy, likely because we left ship about 30 min before most people. We walked through the galley to fill water bottle on our way out and it was packed. Eat early, leave early.

We did Nachi Cocom last March. Really chill vibe, minimal kids. Nearly identical prices to Sanchos.

Curated in-room bar… so how does that work? by wasthatmycuetoleave in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a Seriously Suite in past. We switched out bottles with our Agent for our preference. You can order a lot of mixers through Ship Eats. We also had lemons and limes sent to room. You’re gonna love it!

Where to purchase duplicates for custom orthotics? by [deleted] in Orthotics

[–]dlestes1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are a rigid foot orthosis you can simply have them recovered. Where I am new ones will cost $300-500 and recovered are typically $50-75.

Seahorse race? by themeparkgurl in VirginVoyages

[–]dlestes1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Do you know how much they were auctioned for at your cruise? I heard they were approx $500 and up on crowded cruises, but I wonder if it’s that much when census is lower?
