i heard that the 2 draft beers included in the easy package are Miller Lite and Heineken

My daughter and her 2 gf's sailed 3 in a seaterrace for their college grad trip. They did not use the drop down bunk, but instead had a 3rd mattress added as an L to the king. The 3rd mattress goes ontop of that white base in the attached picture above. I did not take a picture of their room, as it was always kind of tight and messy when getting ready in the evenings, (sometimes one girl would come to our room to do her make up) but they made it work.

even the DJs onboard were odd ... in the way that the pool deck or dance floor would be full/people up and dancing..... and then the music would change styles... like change from Hip hop to Latin or something really drastic.... and so the dancefloor would clear out or people would return to their poolside loungers. 9 times out of 10 when this happened, I would look down at my watch and it was on the hour or half hour..... maybe this is VV's way of getting people to move around, circulate and try a different part of the ship. IDK, but it's odd and TBH kind of annoying when you've got a buzz and feel like dancing. And on music... unless you're in a rockstar suite, no listening to Spotify of any kind or music channels on the TV in your cabin. I thought that was odd. We finally did figure a workaround to get to our downloaded Spotify playlists for our own BT speaker, but it was a PITA. now, to VV's credit, I did not hear Sweet Caroline or YMCA on either sailing... so that was a plus to no boring wedding like music, LOL

Yup. I love a stiff cocktail (or 2 or 3 ;-D )... but I'm not into any of the other stuff. I kept pointing out to my husband when security was watching people.... security had pictures pulled up on their ipads, ect, but they seemed just to be observing.... just waiting for things to get a little too far out of hand I guess..... I really want VV to make it, I'm sure they have all kinds of lines/limits they are trying to figure out

I was on the 2nd leg of your B2B. This was our 2nd VV sailing. After our 10.2021 VV sailing, I had declared Virgin as our new favorite cruise line. But I also noticed the likely drug use and borderline behavior in/around the pool and in the Manor on this sailing. I'm all about a good party (which is why I was at the pool and in the Manor every night), but this was borderline trashy stuff... and the trashy stuff was 100% absent on our 10/21 sailing. For the food, I do think that VV has some of the best food at sea without having to pay for upcharge dining.. but they do try too hard to do "something extra and over the top" to most everything. For instance, the breakfast avocado burrito is so good, except they add a sweet-pickled purple floral/onion/cabbage thing to it... the flavor was just off... I thought it was me but our travel mate agreed (I tried to order it on the side but was told that would be a 30 minute wait). Or even some of the sauce/garnish drizzle.... perfect dish and then the final drizzle sauce is just a bit extra/off. I will say, on our 1st sailing our Wake dinner was kind of Blah, and this 2nd sailing the Wake dinner was much improved and one of our favorite meals. They need to have better DJ and live music. Both sailings the music on board and on Bimini was disappointing, though this sailing was better. Wifi is pretty good. I love that there is no All-you-can-drink package... drinks are so reasonable with tips included and I would think helps to keep the out of control drinking in check. I really hope that VV can figure out their small misses, find their sailors and fill their ships. I feel like they got the Big things totally right, but they have a lot of little things to figure out and this is a tough time in a tough cruise market to try to do it.
