Suite - multiple bookings?

[onlyslightlymad]

We have booked a Cheeky Corner Suite on Resilient lady in December.  There is an adjoining Sea Terrace room available that I am considering booking for my adult daughter.  My question is - if this room is part of the same group booking, then will my daughter be included in any suite privileges?  For example, will she be allowed to accompany us to Richard's Rooftop if we go there?  We have tried contacting Virgin via the online portal and have received no response other than the generic bounceback.  Their customer service is woeful.

No, only the guests in the suite receive the black bands and the suite perks. Responses usually take a day or two, might be longer if you emailed on a Friday. I’ve had pretty good experiences with customer support.

I basically agree with Fogcity.  There are some guests who receive black bracelets while not staying in suites, but your daughter would not fall into one of the categories that can get them.  I have a friend who had done 11 cruises on VV as of October 2022.  She was given a black bracelet based on her number of cruises.  People doing publicity for VV as vloggers or whatever are sometimes housed in a sea terrace but given the black bracelet.  

You could include your daughter when you make dinner reservations before they are available to people in standard cabins.  She is welcome in your suite and can drink from your bar.  But no, she would not be able to go to Richard's Rooftop with you.

There could be another grey area to explore. Does your suite sleep three? You could see if you could add your daughter as a third band in your suite, which would be charged to you, as well as her own red back for her cabin. That way she sleeps next door but is registered to your suite and would have your perks?

 

just an idea that’s a bit out of the box.

They will most likely allow her there during the day because it's barely used. They do check the wrist bands during the champagne cocktail hour and will escort people who have red bands out of the area. But otherwise if she walks in with you guys, they most likely won't say anything. 

 

We had the Cheeky Corner Suite and we were in the Rooftop for maybe 20 minutes of the entire cruise. It's not that great of an area unless you absolutely worship the sun.

Thanks for all your help with this.  My first VV cruise - the mermaiden out of Melbourne.  Really looking forward to it.

Hypothetically, she can take off her wristband and go in with you.  We found the bands to be irritating, so often put them in our pockets.

At least on Scarlet Lady, they literally did not care during the day. People can just follow in Suite Guests and hang out all day on Richard's Rooftop if they want. It was only during the free champagne cocktail hour they checked the bands.
