Lupush Posted May 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I wonder with the cruise industry seemingly not getting back to "normal" for an undetermined amount of time after sailings begin will VV need to rethink their adults only policy? I know this goes against everything that they've marketed to this point, but in order to get cabins filled they may need to pivot. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
hotsauce126 Posted May 7, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I doubt it, its one of their biggest selling points 3 Link to post Share on other sites
aimee0715 Posted May 7, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I'll gladly take a refund if they rethink that policy. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
britincanada Posted May 7, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I hope not!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
twodjs Posted May 8, 2020 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2020 No way! Remember they only have one or two ships to book. Others have way more. We'd also cancel if kids were allowed. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
garymfreedman Posted May 8, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I think quite the contrary-No kids = less germs.... The ship is also designed for no kids, and would basically not be feasable to retrofit.. I am only sailing on them BECAUSE there are no kids.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
drewdawg199 Posted May 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I also think after the quarantine is over, people will be looking to get away from their kids, they've been stuck with them 24/7 for two months straight. Link to post Share on other sites
AdoraBelle Posted May 14, 2020 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Yep, that'll be when my future cruise credits turn back into cash in my bank account. Link to post Share on other sites
Georgia_Peaches Posted May 19, 2020 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2020 The'd have to do some major revamping of the public spaces if they rethink their policy about kids. They would have to have a play area and activity center and kid-centric things to do. I don't see them going that route. Link to post Share on other sites
Nymich Posted May 21, 2020 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2020 My guess is most of us who booked in the beginning did it in large part because of NO KIDS! I would cancel as well I can get see kids anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

flgrl67 Posted May 21, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I don't see them changing the no kids rule. However, they are already changing and/or eliminating perks that drew us to the line, and specifically the rock star suites, at the beginning. We don't want to rebook now with the possibility of more undesirable changes. Therefore, we made the decision to go ahead and cancel all together today. If things look up in a year or two, then we will be back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Esprit Posted June 11, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Definitely wont change. Link to post Share on other sites
cruisekitty22 Posted June 17, 2020 #14 Share Posted June 17, 2020 This is why we want to book. NO KIDS!!! I hope they dont change that policy or we wont book at all. Link to post Share on other sites

No worries, I am sure they would not... The ship is not built, designed, or amenable to kids..And would not be pratical to be redesigned for kids... Link to post Share on other sites
BSR Posted June 24, 2020 #16 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'm looking forward to booking a cruise on VV with no kids. Link to post Share on other sites
Rockette Posted November 23, 2020 #17 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I hope they don't change it either. It's one of the reasons why I'm the most curious about Virgin in the first place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
garymfreedman Posted January 30 #18 Share Posted January 30 I think Covid has answered the question on kids: Cruising is not as safe with kids.... https://cruiseradio.net/why-cruise-lines-may-have-to-sail-without-kids-for-a-while/ Link to post Share on other sites
