I came back to re watch this episode as we're sailing Mega in December. I'm also really excited to come home with folded clean clothes lol Like I can't stop thinking about it... 😅
My friend and I have booked the Gorgeous Suite for October 25th from Miami and we are super excited! We are not celebrating anything specific apart from ‘why shouldn’t we have a nice holiday’ 😂 I have done a sea terrace but it’s her first time on VV (not on a cruise) I think you guys should book on to our cruise as we want to make lots of friends! 😂 Thanks for a great video 😊 x
Oooh you’ll have the best time! The gorgeous suite is LOVELY! We will have just got back from New Zealand when you’re going on yours so we will be out of money and out of holiday allowance from work im afraid 😂 Glad you liked the video 🥰
We stayed in a rockstar suite (cheeky corner suite) and we did not finish all our alcohol and were also allowed to take it home with us. Loved the Rockstar suite. I wish you would have showed us around yours. Also, with ours we could have room service but not charge for them to bring it to us. We were on deck 11 and it was perfect.
Oooh lovely! Glad you had a fab time! We do a very brief show around of our cabin in our Seven Seas Sippers video :) Good shout about the free delivery though! I said to mark as soon as we posted it that we missed that out haha
Great video! Very informative. Excited to try Mega Rock Star! We also watched your 7 bars on Virgin we are going in December and hoping we get to do it too! Hope you guys keep growing! You deserve it!
Thank you so much! And thank you for the support! I think they’re bringing the 7 seas sippers activity back as part of the eat and drink festival this year - hopefully that’s still on in December! If not though… as megas, you can recreate it yourself 😂. We got one of the barmen to recreate a drink from it on our voyage last week (even though it was no longer on the menu). 🥳
Were you on the Dubai Sydney cruise? If so, so were we. Epic trip and what a fab honeymoon for you. Thanks for these videos, despite having sailed twice and with two more to come, we’ve learned a lot. Hope to see you aboard one day. Mike & Julie.
Hi Mike & Julie! Yes we were, we did the Singapore to Sydney leg. It was absolutely fantastic!! You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope to bump into you both too 🤗
love the video. sorry to hear about your Mega Rockstar agent. Sailing as Mega Rockstar in summer and hopefully we don't get the same agent. What was his name? 😀 Also what was your room number as we have also booked the same category room?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :) I don’t think it would be fair to share their name as we’ve given our feedback to their manager so I would imagine they’ve had some additional training etc to stop it happening again :) We were in 15291A :)
35-40% of dinner reservations are held back till after boarding, so sailors who can't get what they want in advance can try again after boarding. There are some very expensive drinks that are available in the casino bar as "half pours" which keeps them within the $25 limit.
😢whilst at the pool a Rock Star guest who unfortunately was not happy about the gay shipmates on the ship. I found his comments incredibly insensitive. I consider myself a super gay ally! I regularly associated with the 😊with the LGBTQ+ community on the ship they’re so much fun!!!
Generally speaking if you are asking if an update is worth the price it isn’t. The rock star and mega rockstar suites are great and the benefits are nice but they are expensive. If it is a stretch to afford it just get a regular sea terrace and use the extra money to have a great cruise
We went on a Virgin Cruise a few years ago but due to videos like this I see that we did not maximize our experience whilst (love that word) on the ship.
So if you order two bottles of wine (180 dollars) and ask for 6 glasses for your friends, you can, but you cannot order two more drinks of 25 bucks for your new besties?
Hey, you can buy extra drinks for your friends, by the glass, we just talk about the bottles in this vid as we did that to save wasting our allowance (as we just kept buying glasses for ourselves so weren’t using the bottles) :)
@@TheDoddolds Yes I got that but what I meant was using your Mega Rockstar credit to buy cocktails for your friends. Which they don't allow.. Let's say my bf and I meet a couple: I can't order 4 cocktails for the 4 of us using my unlimited MRS tab, I need to pay for the other two, because they only allow 2x 25 dollars drinks per order (4x cocktails would not even be 100 bucks in total). But I can order two bottles of wine (which would cost 180 bucks if you get 90 dollar ones) and ask for 4 glasses using my MRS credit. It just doesn't make sense to me :D
Ah well unless they’ve changed it, we bought drinks for others without any issues. Maybe it’s 2 per order, per band? So you could order two and then your bf could order the other 2? But as I say, they might have changed it since we did mega rockstar in November last year? But yeh you’re right to do your research for sure! If you do end up booking something, feel free to use this link - jerne.to/3AVc69g . It gives you all the same offers as you would get through their website anyway, it just shows Virgin the impact our channel/content is having :)
Never done a Virgin. Or a Virgin Cruise! Sounds like it could be expensive. We are more in the smuggle your booze on board in your knickers kind of people.
😂😂😂 There’s always a first! Plus, you can legitimately smuggle 2 bottles of wine onto the ship with Virgin Voyages! Perhaps it’s only fun when there’s risk 😂🤓
Sorry if it wasn’t quite what you were expecting. I guess we wanted it to be more about our thoughts on the mega RS package rather than the ship. If you want to see more of the ship/bars on board - our seven seas sippers video has more of that. 😊
We just booked our first virgin voyages cruise for next year. I love all the tips we have gotten from you guys! Thank you for your time and content!!
Amazing! You’ll have the best time and hope the tips pay off 🥰! Thank you so much :) x
Love the cocktail recipe! Can't wait to try it on our next cruise. I definitely struggled to figure out what to make with the mixers provided. Thanks!
You’ll have to let us know what you think! :)

It is a good perk, not going to lie! Haha

We’re on that one too, in a sweet aft suite. See you on board! Julie & Mike.

This was such a good review. I usually skip thru but I watched the full video.
Thank you so so much! We really appreciate that, and are so glad you enjoyed it! x
This is brilliant, so informative & witty too. I know I’m biased but you’re both so good at this. Love you both lots 😍😍😘😘
Thank youuu. We love you lots too ❤️❤️x

@@TheDoddolds thanks for the tip!
Thank you boys! We've got mega rockstar...4 more sleeps..🎉🎉 ❤
Amazing!!! Are you on now then? How exciting, hope you’re having the best time!! Thank you for watching x

Heya guys!! Sounds like you're on the TransAtlantic!! Me too!!
Fab!! We can’t wait and are counting down the days!! 😂. A say hi if you see us!
Just found you guys...Such Fun! 🙂 We saw Valiant Lady in Sydney when we left on Edge in February - looks lovely!
Ahhh fab!! We miss Sydney! Hope you manage to get on a Virgin Voyage when they eventually come back over to Aus!
@@TheDoddolds They are here every year now for our cruise season. Valiant Lady just left - she'll be back in November.
Enjoyed the video! Ty. Cheers mates.
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Wooohooo!! Can’t wait!!

Fab tips! Yeah we only discovered the half bottles of gin in the bars for sub $25 towards the end 😩😂
Unfortunately, they don't do half pours anymore.
😢whilst at the pool a Rock Star guest who unfortunately was not happy about the gay shipmates on the ship. I found his comments incredibly insensitive. I consider myself a super gay ally! I regularly associated with the 😊with the LGBTQ+ community on the ship they’re so much fun!!!
It’s sad there are still people out there who want to discriminate against others! Thanks for being an ally ❤️

This is true, and the regular sea terrace rooms are fab anyway!

There’s always next time :P

@@TheDoddolds sorry I am doing a thorough research before booking our first voyage haha!

But as I say, they might have changed it since we did mega rockstar in November last year? But yeh you’re right to do your research for sure!

It’s me, I’m “a few people” haha ;)
😂😂 Hiiiiii fellow Mega Rockstar!
Just go vip got all those perks for £10,000 less
Oooh didn’t know that was an option! How do you book VIP?
Pm you won’t believe the perks
I’ve sent you a pm now
I will get there lol 🚢
Do you mean on Virgin Voyage or Mega Rockstar? Either way…we believe in you! :P
The $25 drink limit is probably the only thing worth while.
It is a big benefit, there’s no denying it :)
Never done a Virgin. Or a Virgin Cruise! Sounds like it could be expensive. We are more in the smuggle your booze on board in your knickers kind of people.
😂😂😂 There’s always a first! Plus, you can legitimately smuggle 2 bottles of wine onto the ship with Virgin Voyages! Perhaps it’s only fun when there’s risk 😂🤓
Doesn't sound like a good fit. Stick with Carnival!
A 30 minute video describing your experience on the ship and only 30 seconds of footage from the ship?!? 😦
Sorry if it wasn’t quite what you were expecting. I guess we wanted it to be more about our thoughts on the mega RS package rather than the ship. If you want to see more of the ship/bars on board - our seven seas sippers video has more of that. 😊
