Insider Tips
Things seasoned cruisers wish they knew
The included Basic WiFi blocks video streaming, video calls, and VPN use. Base fare passengers only get dining reservations 15 days before sailing and cannot change names, cabins, or dates.
Despite marketing as 'no hidden fees,' alcoholic drinks are not included in any fare. The Bar Tab add-on starts at ~$300 and up. Tipping on drink purchases is now separate at $20-22/night.
Gratuities were previously bundled into the fare but are now broken out as a separate charge as of October 2025. This effectively raised the visible cost by $140+/person on a 7-night cruise.
Popular restaurants (like The Test Kitchen and Gunbae) book up fast. Base fare guests can only make reservations 15 days before sailing, while Premium fare guests get priority access.
Virgin Voyages is strictly adults-only (18+). No children or teenagers are permitted onboard under any circumstances. There are no kids' clubs or family facilities.
The Base/Lock It In fare is 100% non-refundable with no grace period, no date/name/cabin changes, and no Future Voyage Credit. Only Essential and Premium fares offer flexibility.
The October 2025 VoyageFair Choices restructured fares into airline-style tiers (Base, Essential, Premium) and separated gratuities from the fare. Previous 'all-in' pricing no longer applies.
There are no formal nights, no main dining room with fixed seating, and no buffet. All dining is restaurant-style with reservations. This is a different experience from traditional cruise lines.
