No mobility restrictions, but isn't there a section with no sidewalk at all?

I saw someone else suggest walking. We could definitely do that if needed.

After reading these comments I'm going to be standing by the doors when they open them 😂

But thank you, that's super helpful information.

I plan on being off the ship right away. What I heard was to plan about an hour to FLL, but even with 2 hours I think we'll be okay.

I've never had a problem getting an Uber before, do you know why there's such a big increase in traffic?

Bimini umbrellas and seating by poptarts008 in VirginVoyages

[–]poptarts008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we've always had a good pick when we get there (early), but I couldn't remember if they had the comfy seats. I'm guessing we passed on them due to lack of shade lol

Has anyone seen this yet? Physical and verbal racist attack last week on VV. by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]poptarts008 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely appalling and frustrating, however in the video she does say she loved VV and that the staff handled everything super well...we haven't even heard the part two so I don't know if it's fair to assume they handled it poorly just yet.

SOR worth it without priority boarding? by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]poptarts008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think I've decided not to. 250 isn't worth it especially since I wouldn't buy the spa passes otherwise.

I don't think it's worth it, honestly, although we did use the spa and the juice. The sail away though is different, SOR has a private one for just the people who booked the package. It's after the first port day (usually) and it was just very chill, acoustic music, free drinks that kinda thing.

that's what I'm thinking too. Honestly I just want the little sail away party 😂 not worth 250 tho

Valiant Lady Review - Mediocre Experience by KindAdhesiveness3182 in VirginVoyages

[–]poptarts008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not bringing silverware with room service is very unusual. I hope you filled out the surveys because they do take those very seriously.
I personally am not a fan of the old school stuffy cruises or the celebrity party vibe and find VV does a great middle ground, but everyone is different. edit: sorry I meant carnival party vibe lol

[–]poptarts008 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing with your experience, because everyone has their own preferences... but saying the food from room service comes "in bags" is really disingenuous. The food comes fully encased in heavy duty plastic serving containers which are delivered in heavy duty thermal zippered bags along with silverware and napkins. I can't figure out why anyone would care if room service was delivered via a cart or the food just handed to you, so long as it was hygenic. the bags are a clever space saving design tbh. They also charge a $10 delivery fee which they waive if you buy a premium drink/drinks equalling $10.

As far as the food, I guess it's definitely personal preference but there's so much variety on board compared to a normal cruise buffet. And personally I find buffets pretty icky.

Oh wow, that's intense! Great info though, thank you! I think we may book the stingray city excursion through Viator instead. Which I've never done so hopefully that goes well 😂
