Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. UPDATE: I was able to speak to one of the guys at WPT@Sea. They had tried to get a hold of me and was not able to leave a message (I may have assumed it was spam and declined it). Anyway, they needed my physical address which has now been given to them and they should be reaching back out to me next week with the info on how to claim my free cruise!!!! Very Happy how it turned out!!!
  2. Sooo....decided to play some poker while on the cruise, won my first $80 tournament which gave me a free buy-in to the $250 "main event" - with the Grand Prize of a Free 4 or 5 day cruise on Scarlet Lady in a Sea Terrace Room. I filled out some paperwork and was told that I would get an Email in 7 to 10 days. after almost 3 weeks and no Email, I called Virgin who transferred me to the Casino department...who said they (the person I was speaking to) didn't know anything about a free cruise for winning a poker tournament...but he put me on hold and called the manager, who informed him about the WPT at sea. However, the manager was actually gone for the day (this is when they told me the casino department was only 4 people?) and the manager would contact me the next day. Sure enough, I get a call the next day from the casino department manager who then gives me ANOTHER NUMBER to WPT@SEA in Kansas....I have called and emailed for 4 or 5 days with NO call, NO answer and NO reply back to my emails. Anyone have any idea what I can do to get my free cruise....second place was 1500 bucks, at this point, im thinking I should've went for that!
  3. My wife and I will be headed out in a few weeks for our 5 day on the SL. My wife enjoys wearing more formal long dresses and having me in a suit for dinner like we have for years on other lines. My question is, will we be out of place on VV? I have watched a ton of video's and I do not remember seeing anyone dressed up like that..with the exception of maybe some at the Wake?.. My dining reservations are for the wake, Pink Agave, Razzle Dazzle and Extra Virgin.
  4. Is it a BS offer or a "just in case someone cancels last minute".... Is there any chance of actually getting a suite?
  5. I was considering that, but the more I read I started to get worried. The website says they may not assign room until the day you board to ship.
  6. Got it taken care of. I spoke to a supervisor who also tried to say there was no way they would be able to make any changes. When I insisted that the website does not say anything about changes unless a room has been assigned..she was nice enough to say let me try and see if we can do it. a 600 hundred bucks later....I have a room with a view.
  7. So this is our first VV cruise. My wife purchased the lock it in rate, not realizing it was a limited view room. The website says it is a non-refundable rate, which is fine...I don't want a refund, I just want to be able to upgrade - PAY MORE MONEY...however, when I call, VV is telling me because of my cabin type, that I can not do that. I am not asking for a discounted upgrade..I am more than willing to pay the difference...but they seem like I am asking for the impossible. Anyone have any idea if this is a thing or did I just get ahold of the wrong CSR?
  8. So my wife has tree nut allergy and she has typically been limited as far as what she can eat on most cruise lines. just wondering how well Virgin does for folks with tree nut allergies?' Any desserts that she can have?
  9. So we purchased the Romance package mainly for the on and off the boat benefits when just completed our check in (sailing Sept 15th) and our on board time was 145....not sure if that is an early boarding time or not...if its not, since we have the romance package could we go on earlier? Also, what time can we start making reservations on the day it opens up...like at 12AM on the date? Thanks
  10. This is awesome to hear. Those men and women work so damn hard..glad to see this.
  11. Sounds silly but I have anaphylaxis to horses and although I have watched a ton of videos on youtube on this excursion...My wife saw one that showed a horse and became worried. If they are around...how avoidable are they....like would we be driving through/walking through a concentrated area of them? TIA, Charles
  12. Me(47) and Wife(43) will be taking our 1st cruise with Virgin in September. We have cruised about 15 times mostly with Carnival and Norwegian. What are the major differences we can expect with Virgin...other than the no kids allowed 😂
