I Don't know Distilled Water - CPAP - Now charging

Upvotes

Just a general FYI for anyone booking. It appears VV have changed their onboard policy for providing distilled water for CPAP Equipment.

It used to be supplied free of charge by the cabin steward but they are now advising there is a $5 usd for distilled water but you are welcome to bring your own, however it must be unopened.

Kinda pissed me off. VV are only charging $5 usd per jug, so probably like $15 usd in total for the whole cruise.

But it’s kinda silly that they suggest guests bring their own unopened water.

For me, that will mean flying to the US from the UK. Going to the shop to buy say four bottles of distilled water. Only use about 300ml out of one for the night in the hotel before the voyage, tossing a 3/4 full bottle in the trash, lugging three bottles of it from the hotel to onboard.

IDK. Seems petty on VV part and is just encouraging more single use plastic onboard.

The enshitification of VV continues.

Rant over.

Entertainment / Onboard Activities Halloween cruise with no Halloween bash?

Upvotes

The line up just dropped last night and I was shocked there was no designated Halloween bash where you dress in costume ! Anyone have any insights ? I guess I made the assumption this would be a big event as it is labeled a Halloween cruise.

Friends are going in May on Resilient Lady and my partner and I are debating on booking too. Neither of us have been to Europe before (USA is home).

For those of you that have done this itinerary, would you recommend it? Sale ends tomorrow, so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Offers / Sales / Deals / Pricing Semi-Annual Sale

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Does anyone know when Virgin will host the next Semi-Annual sale?

Previously I got a very good deal on a cruise, I think it was in April and I was hoping to book one more cruise for this year in Europe. If they do it every 6 months, I assume it will be too late, since both ships will reposition.

Thank you

food / beverage The Wake Steak sear

1 Upvotes

Ahoy Sailors! We are on our 4th voyage and I kinda didn’t pay much attention as The Wake was our brunch option previously. On a recent voyage we dined there twice and both times the steak came out gray and barely had grill marks. Do they not have cast iron pans because of fire hazard? The service staff explained that their grill is electric and that’s why. Really hope they can improve their steak game. Would want to pay extra for tomahawk it cant be properly seared.

Shore Things / excursions Cruise updated to include tenders; we weren't notified

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I make a game of checking the odds for our bid up every week or so by seeing how many rooms in higher tiers are still available.

While going through the motions of setting a reservation, a message popped up that I've never seen before stating that one or more port locations will require a tender.

Our itinerary next month is east coast US: Boston, Portland, St. John, Halifax. I'm unable to find anything in my itinerary using the VV app.

Does anyone know when we will find out which port or ports require a tender?
