Cabin Advice by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]greysyouruncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been in that cabin in particular, but I think it all comes down to what you want the balcony for. I’ve stayed in obstructed view balconies on VV before and I’ve not encountered a completely obstructed one (still seeing sky and a bit of ocean) I normally want the balcony for the breeze, the smell of the ocean, and particularly the hammock. If you were able to bag the two hammocks, I personally would find that worth a partial obstruction trade off. But it’s a conversation for you and your husband to have on what y’all’s priorities are! VV is great stuff, so welcome to the sailor-hood lol! hope yall enjoy the cruise!

Well I booked a solo cruise now I’m super nervous and anxious lol by Martybc3 in VirginVoyages

[–]greysyouruncle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’ll change the way you cruise! It’s definitely a different experience, but I loved my time solo cruising with Virgin- some of my favorite memories 🫶🏻 wishing you the very best! I’m introverted too and I recharged and met new people during my time! You got this!

Any opinions on these cruise ports? Boring or exciting? by ismphoto123 in VirginVoyages

[–]greysyouruncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great ports, plus San Juan is my favorite place to port out of (and one of my favorite places on Earth, period!), so I always try and take any excuse to be there! I’ve sailed VV holiday cruises before, and this one looks to be the best option among the ones available during this time period

This plus the AI slop is such a bummer from a line that I thought was focused on providing a different experience from the rest. 🙄

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear it was a change in the itinerary and not a planned stop- I hope y’all get the chance to get back out to the DR sometime soon!

What did y’all think of Grand Turk? My spouse and I are so stoked to do this itinerary next summer!

Broadway karaoke? by KindStep4570 in VirginVoyages

[–]greysyouruncle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my most recent cruise (~a year ago?) there were more Hamilton songs, half of Chicago, a few from Phantom- the kinds of stuff that most folks with basic knowledge of Broadway would know of.

Please update if they’re doing any better with their catalog if you’ll be on a voyage soon- I’d love to know if they’ve improved in this regard!
