What'd you think of the location of this suite? We're directly on the other side of the ship from this in 6240 in September. Did it detract too much from the suite experience too much being so far from the suite area?
@thelifeofacruiser20 күн бұрын
I personally didn’t mind it, but I can definitely see people finding it as a negative aspect. The suite area and cabins up on that deck are actually behind private glass doors, which can definitely make it feel a bit quieter and more of a suite environment similar to how MSC does it. I found myself spending a few hours at the suite sun deck rather than making multiple trips so if you do prefer going multiple times a day then you may like the convenience!

The one thing that I liked a bit better back then, is the cabanas were cheaper. But I know that's the old days and so much has changed! They are beautiful! We didn't get delivery and had to slum it ;) and walk to a bar nearby, this was for our land cabana. Thank you so much for the simple and full walkthrough!

Virgin Voyages Future Cruise Scam Shame on Virgin Voyages deceitful onboard “offer” & scam !!! Loved our cruise and all the Virgin Voyages crew members, but now feel totally cheated and disgusted by Virgin Voyages after they changed the terms and conditions of the Future Cruise offer (between Virgin & tour/cruise operators) which we took out onboard. This “Epic Offer, only available onboard” as Virgin touted, was as simple as this…………… place a $300 deposit on a future cruise, whilst onboard and before the end of the our cruise and they “promised” $300 off your next cruise plus $600 onboard credit, with up to 60 days to choose a cruise and 2 years to take the cruise, either through Virgin Voyages, or any tour operator of our choice. As of today, 6th June 2024, I’ve spent 6 hours on calls, to multiple cruise tour companies and each and every one of them said that Virgin are refusing to honour the $300 dollar off my next cruise, as Virgin changed the terms and conditions of the offer (between Virgin & the tour operators) at the end of May 2024, just 5 days after we finished our cruise. This change of terms & conditions, stopped these tour operators from applying the $300 discount from my future cruise, on “Net Rates” which is the standard rate used by tour operators, to sell cruise’s to the general public. I was not aware of this rate and neither should you, as it is a term only used between tour operators and cruise lines and not a term that you or I should be aware of, or understand. Each tour operator carefully explained, that the cruise quote they gave me today, was a valid quote, only if I “did not use, or apply” my $300 MNVV (My next Virgin Voyage) cruise discount and in doing so, I would also forfeit the additional $600 onboard credit. If I demanded that they apply my $300 MNVV discount, they would be forced (by Virgin Voyages) to use a completely different rate for the cruise quotation, which would be far more expensive and effectively wipe out all of my $300 MNVV future cruise discount and most of the “true value” of my $600 onboard credit, effectively eliminating the whole “Epic Offer” package. That is utterly disgusting and a total misrepresentation of the offer made onboard Scarlet Lady and destroys my faith in Virgin Voyages and anything they may “promise” in future. Every agent, from every tour company, said that they could have honored the $300 MNVV discount, if we had booked a cruise before the end of May 2024 and they were sorry that Virgin Voyages had failed to inform us of their change of terms & conditions, before leaving the ship, instead of letting us believe that we had 60 days to “take our time” and choose our future cruise, without feeling rushed or stressed. One of my sons also paid $300 deposit on a future cruise whilst onboard and he is utterly disgusted and disappointed in Virgin Voyages sleight of hand. We are both now looking at other cruise lines, as an alternative to Virgin Voyages, which makes me sad honestly, as my whole family (all nine of us) loved everything about our cruise on Scarlet Lady Update - 8th June 2024 Tour operators have now given me quotes using the MNVV discount offer from Virgin (at the higher rate) which effectively makes our cruise price, £375 (Sterling) per person more expensive, for a grand total per cabin (based on 2 people) of £750 more expensive, than not using the “discount” deal in the first place. Shame on you Virgin Voyages, for your underhand tactics and failure to honour the onboard deal offered to me and my family. A simple answer would be to honour the original offer for everyone who placed a future cruise deposit with Virgin before the “change of terms & conditions” then openly and transparently, on the 1st day of the change of terms & conditions, advise anyone placing a future cruise deposit, of the exact limitations of that offer going forward.
