This package is now $250
Great content as always thank you. Very informative and definitely know about shaking a polaroid picture hahah
I just added this to my trip and the sailor services rep told me to disregard my boarding time on the app and arrive at 1:45pm. Definitely worth it!
Thank you! We are taking our first ever cruise in March and have booked the Splash of Romance package. The breakdown was super helpful.
Great review! I’m booking for December and considering a suite, but this package might serve us just as well for less money.
Another great review! I had considered this package, but I normally travel in Rockstar category and now see it's not really all that! Much appreciated!❤
Thank you! I love hearing from my fellow ♈️♥️
This video was one of the reasons I chose to get the package. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to sail with Virgin in January for my birthday.
You’re welcome! Thank you for the kind words!
I was actually thinking of getting this for myself and my fiance on our honeymoon cruise on resilent lady in December :),
I did get this for my cruise in December! I’m disappointed about Richards sail away partying! I watch your video when you were in a regular room so seems still worth it for that reason alone❤
You’ll have a great time! Go to the dock, get some small plates and shake for champagne 🥂😁😁😁😁😁
So glad I booked mine early. We received it for only $200 and it has gone up to $275.
Hey-ya!
As a volunteer medic, I heard the food perk and immediately thought of allergies. A nice touch that can backfire, ruining a fantastic experience.
Maybe providing sailor loot/bar tab that gets matched would be the way to go.
Good review thanks! We just sailed on Scarlet Lady for our fist Virgin cruise and loved it. I saw this on the app as we were waiting to sail but was sold out. Just booked our second cruise, going in January and I went ahead and jumped on this only because it was sold out last time and it’s limited to only 75 cabins. I did notice every time we went by the juice bar on our last cruise it was always closed. Hopefully that’s not the case for this upcoming cruise or we will not benefit from that perk of the package. We did experience some embarkation delays even though we had an early time so maybe this will expedite that as well. Do they assign us a specific time since we have this package for embarkation or do we still have to select a time? Overall, we love Virgin can’t wait for the next.
Hi! In my sailings, romance passengers board right after suite guests. So you’ll want to be at the port as soon as they start the boarding process. Thank you so much for your comment!
@@freshlysqueezedtravels thank you. We plan on it!
What about travelling Solo would you still get 2 thermal suite Spa passes?
Good question! On the website it says that the package is limited to 90 cabins per voyage. And it doesn’t mention two sailors. So I think you could pay the $200 and get the package. I would call to inquire how that works.
"... and if you know that reference, we should be friends..."
🤣🤣🤣
Can the thermal suite pass be used on sea days?
Yes it can.
I have a question for anyone. If I already have a 2pm check-in for an upcoming sailing, does the "priority" even make a difference? I have seen blogs say that sometimes boarding for rockstars can begin around noon, therefore making this worth the cost. Has anyone seen this?
I haven’t seen this. We have been rock stars three times and have been allowed to board at 2 pm each time. In my experience a 2 pm boarding time will allow you to board after rock stars, splash of romance and loyalty club passengers.
@@freshlysqueezedtravels Thank you!!
@@freshlysqueezedtravels I was able to get one of the last Splash of Romance packages, so I am thinking I will show up at the terminal at about 1-1:15 so I can board after the Rockstars! I am beyond excited, and it's one of the Halloween cruises!
Does this apply to the cabin or just the person who gets it?
This package is for two people.
I think this was originally called the VIP package. I wonder if you book it as a solo sailor will the give you two 3 hour slots.
They only have pricing for two. But if you’re staying solo I’m assuming you could purchase for the couple price. And then you should get two of everything.
@@freshlysqueezedtravels hopefully for my next cruise it will be available. I booked about 50 days before the sail date and it was sold out by then. I will do as you suggest and call them to see if it may still be available. Btw calling Virgin is a joy. On Princess you wait for hours. I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes and in every case, they could address my problem without having to call to another department. First class customer service.
So do you get a shake for champagne for free? Because i know anyone can do the shake for champagne, but im not understanding the perk for the romance package
The shake for champagne is free for splash of romance passengers.
@@freshlysqueezedtravels thanks! Was it just once?
I purchased splash of romance and I online chatted with sailor services today and they told me I could not board early. I have to board at my 3:15 time. They said there is a designated line for SOR and that’s it. We can’t board early. 😢 I purchased it mainly for early boarding and shake for champagne.
Hi! I was just on the scarlet lady in late May and Romance passengers had priority boarding
right after suite guests. I watched them board. Priority boarding is also listed as one of the amenities on Virgins website. Maybe the rep was confused.
Thank you! That’s what I thought(and read). I hope I don’t have any trouble boarding 😊
@@Dwannandonly Call again that agent lied to you i had 3 o clock and they let me get on at 1:45
@@heyneika I called and spoke to another agent and they told me I couldn't board early. They said it was enhanced boarding not priority boarding even though my email says access to priority boarding 🙄
@@Dwannandonly I got priority boarding every time I boarded with rockstars idk what they saying that to you
They need to substitute the private party with the premium internet package.
Nice idea!
Prices have gone up significantly in 2024.
Yes. It is now listed as $250 on virgins website. We have the package on our July sailing. I’ll be doing a full review. Thank you for watching!
Richard's deck doesn't look all that great, the views are obscured, the walls are really high then there are glass shields that go even higher? The decor is ugly. It's very plain, no color, it looks boring. I guess if you want a special spot with less people you've got it but gees it sure doesn't look like it's something exclusive. I was expecting it to be really fancy.
It really is pretty. But maybe my videos don’t do it justice. But at the end of the day it’s just part of the pool deck. 😁
Sound like awesome 👍 way for husband and a beautiful wife add little bit of something to their cruise 🛳
Sold out on are voyage! 🥲
Goes fast. 😊
