Are the Signature guests allowed to use all of the Sanctuary or just the gated off area? Will kids be allowed in if they are staying in a Sig suite

I think "Love by Britto" is the Sun's version of 360.

I couldn't agree more and it was the first thing I thought of. Compared to the Royal class ship, the Sun's Piazza looks more like the lobby at an office building. Hopefully it looks better in person. Sun Princess: Discovery Princess:

Hopefully they won't be adding more cabins to where the observation lounge is like on the Joy. I would be okay with them removing the Laser Tag area though

People in SoCal don't go over to Catalina as much as you would think. The town is very small and has limited accommodations that are very expensive.

The Scarlet Lady has been removed from the schedule. Maybe someone at VV is reading these posts. https://artifacts.portsamerica.com//wbct/pdf/2025-la-schedule.pdf

It's great to see more ships homeporting on the West Coast. RC's Quantum of the Seas will start sailing from LA around the same time as Bellisima.

Virgin has paused/stopped selling all itineraries out of Australia.

It usually happens when there is more than one ship in port. If you are on the April 5th sailing it will be only the Koningsdam there that day. Should be pretty smooth.

I loved the food on my visit to Test Kitchen (menu A) and when all was said and done we were stuffed. However after thinking that others on our cruise were exaggerating when they said to plan for a 2.5 hour meal, ours took two hours and 45 minutes! I don't mind long meal every now and then but TK is not the most comfortable restaurant to sit in for that long (especially if you are at the counter seats like we were).

I forgot that a pint is a smaller size in the US. I feel so ripped off😞

We do serve pints. A standard draught beer pour in the US is a pint. For cans and bottles 12oz is usually the norm although they can come in many different sizes.

Yikes! A $5 bottle of wine for the suites😑 There's definitely some room for improvement here.

I found that the pizza goes from "okay" to "great" if you ask for it well-done.

I could see it working well for cruises out of LA. Anywhere else I'm not so sure. It Depends on how Princess markets the experience.

Im still thinking close-up magic may play a part.

Interesting, AA has had a red eye from San Diego to Miami for years, yet for some reason it's off the schedule from Nov 5th-Dec 20th. I personally find coast to coast red eyes brutal if you don't have a room to check in as soon as you arrive.

Music is a "no win" situation. What's great to some is terrible to others.

They already are vaping in their staterooms and there is no way for X or other passengers to know about it unless they install cameras in the rooms.

Supposedly she's an investor in Virgin Voyages, so I doubt she'll be going anywhere anytime soon. I actually find her likeable in the spot, but understand that it won't appeal to everyone.

Pretty unlikely that the cruise will be sold out by next month however certain cabin categories might be completely booked.

Princess and P&O are morphing back into the same company.

They are moving to shorter round trip sailing from Australia instead of one way longer voyages to and from New Zealand. https://www.cruisehive.com/virgin-voyages-scraps-cruises-after-guest-feedback/103216
