much is said online about having the
0:01
best time on Virgin Voyages cruises
0:03
including the fantastic entertainment
0:05
the incredible food but not a lot is
0:07
said about having a really good night's
0:09
sleep in your cabin and although it's
0:11
not one of the glossiest topics that we
0:13
could cover it's really important when
0:15
you're sailing on Virgin Voyages to make
0:16
sure you're getting a good night's sleep
0:18
every night so you can make the most out
0:20
of the ship the rest of the time i'm
0:21
David from VV Insider and today I'm
0:23
going to bring all of the tips that
0:25
we've got across vinsider.com about how
0:27
to make the most out of your cabin and

exclusive perks by booking directly with
0:56
us if you sailed with Virgin Voyages in
0:59
the past or you've already done a bit of
1:00
research you'll understand that there's
1:02
quite a few different cabin types that
1:04
are available on Virgin Voyages and we
1:06
delve a little bit deeper into this in
1:08
one of our other videos about choosing
1:10
the best cabin on board but today I want
1:12
to talk about the actual practicalities
1:14
of being in the cabin and understanding
1:16
what to expect when you use your van to
1:18
open your door and walk in for the first
1:20
time now I'm going to leave a little
1:22
caveat here and say that your experience
1:24
will be different depending on which
1:26
cabin type you've chosen but for these
1:28
purposes today I'm going to talk as if
1:30
we're all sailing in a sea terrace cabin
1:32
so actually your experience will be very
1:34
similar if you're an insider or a sea
1:37
view cabin just ignore the bits about
1:39
the balcony but if you're sailing in a
1:41
Rockstar or a Mega Rockstar cabin your
1:43
experience might be quite different
1:45
indeed and we'll be making a video about
1:46
Rockstar and Mega Rockstar suites in the
1:49
coming weeks but quite a lot of the
1:50
cabin features are actually shared
1:52
between the sailor and the Rockstar
1:54
cabin so stick around and you might
1:55
learn something that will be useful for
1:57
you as well so one of the first things
1:58
you'll notice when you unlock your cabin
2:00
door on board Virgin Voyages is that the
2:02
lighting will come on automatically and
2:04
the curtains will automatically open
2:06
themselves as you enter the cabin and
2:08
this is all part of the smart cabin
2:10
features the cabins on board Virgin
2:12
Voyages actually come with quite a few
2:13
smart functions that I'll talk about in
2:15
just a moment but for now let's put that
2:17
to one side so as I talk through the
2:19
features and the amenities of the room
2:21
let's imagine that we're sailing in a
2:22
sea terrace cabin for now but I'll
2:24
mention any differences as we go along
2:26
for those that may be in insider rooms
2:28
or in C view rooms so the furnishings in
2:30
the rooms comprise of one queen bed
2:33
which is configurable and I'll come on
2:35
to that in just a moment you'll have one
2:37
comfortable chair a small movable table
2:39
that you can move next to the bed or
2:41
keep it by the chair you'll also have a
2:44
glam station they call it which is
2:45
effectively the dressing desk that will
2:48
be on one side of the room that will
2:50
have a mirror and it'll also come with a
2:52
small stool that you can sit at as well
2:54
and then you will have ample storage
2:56
which includes a wardrobe shelving and
2:59
drawers the shelves have a safe and the
3:01
wardrobe has a curtain that you can pull
3:03
over to hide all of your clothes to make
3:05
the room look a lot cleaner and
3:06
uncluttered after you've unpacked inside
3:08
the wardrobe is where you will find your
3:10
laundry bag it's normally hanging up so
3:12
it will look like a suit or a dress
3:14
cover but actually if you turn it upside
3:15
down it has a zip on the bottom and
3:17
you'll be able to put laundry inside of
3:19
it if you'd like to send your laundry
3:20
off to be cleaned so it serves a bit of
3:22
a double function you'll also have the
3:25
laundry slip which you can fill out to
3:27
request your laundry services when you
3:29
need them and then of course you'll have
3:30
your bathroom now the bathroom this is
3:33
where it does depend on which cabin type
3:34
that you've chosen because sea terraces
3:37
generally have the same bathroom that
3:38
you will see across the rest of the
3:40
ships that is to say there's a toilet a
3:43
sink and the shower is actually part of
3:45
all the same room and the difference
3:47
here is if you choose one of the XL sea
3:50
terraces the bathroom will be very
3:52
different indeed you actually have one
3:54
room which has the sink in it and then
3:55
you have two separate rooms one of those
3:57
rooms is the toilet and then the other
3:59
room is the shower so if you'd like to
4:01
get ready at the same time as your
4:03
partner in the morning it might be
4:05
better off choosing one of those XLC
4:06
terrace cabins instead because it does
4:09
offer a little bit more flexibility and
4:11
is generally a little bit more of a
4:12
comfortable experience when you're
4:13
getting ready then of course past the
4:15
curtains you have a sliding door which
4:18
will be your entrance to the balcony and
4:20
the balcony of course this is reserved
4:22
for sea terrace guests if you're insider
4:23
or a sea view you will not have this but
4:25
if you have a balcony that is where
4:27
you'll find the iconic red hammock
4:29
hanging as well and you can start using
4:31
that straight away as we've mentioned
4:33
before some of those sea terraces do not
4:35
include one of those red iconic hammocks
4:37
so you might need to check your room on
4:40
vbvincides.com go on to the cabin lookup
4:42
tool and put your room number in just to
4:44
make absolutely sure that you have one
4:46
of those hammocks if you want one if you
4:48
don't have a hammock in your room you
4:49
will have a red hanging basket chair
4:51
which is actually quite a nice
4:52
alternative and some people actually
4:54
prefer that so now we've covered off the
4:56
basics of the room let's just go over a
4:58
couple of specifics one very practical
5:00
thing that I'll mention which is around
5:02
electricity outlets and sockets so where
5:05
do you actually plug stuff in to charge
5:07
it up or where do you plug your
5:08
hairdryer in or whichever so this is
5:10
probably something that you'll want to
5:11
get right straight away you probably had
5:13
a day of traveling you'll probably want
5:14
to plug your phone in as you enter your
5:16
cabin in the first instance so luckily
5:18
the cabins have quite a few different
5:20
electric outlets that you can use and
5:22
they're generally in really convenient
5:23
places as well but they're not always
5:25
built the same and there are a few
5:26
caveats that I'll let you know about so
5:28
do listen closely so first and foremost
5:30
the most accessible electric outlets
5:32
that you'll have in your cabin are just
5:34
above the gland station or the vanity
5:36
desk so there you'll actually find three
5:38
different outlets two of those are US
5:41
outlets and one of them is what's called
5:43
a universal power outlet but you can
5:45
think of this more commonly as like an
5:47
EU socket type and that's the style
5:49
which is circular with two
5:51
circular-shaped contacts now the reason
5:53
this is important is because you might
5:55
have equipment with you that only works
5:57
in one of these type of sockets now I'm
5:59
not just talking about using a universal
6:01
power adapter of course if you have a
6:03
universal power adapter everything will
6:05
work just fine as long as it's the right
6:08
voltage and that's where this is quite
6:10
important so traveling from the UK
6:12
ourselves if we're bringing some of our
6:14
UK appliances for example hair dryers or
6:17
straighteners they only work with the EU
6:19
style power outlet and that's because it
6:21
only gives the certain level of voltage
6:23
that's needed for those type of
6:25
appliances if you try and use the
6:27
American style socket it sometimes will
6:29
not work and it could actually damage
6:31
your equipment as well so be very
6:32
careful and if you're using anything
6:34
like that from the UK or from the EU
6:37
always use the EU style socket and not
6:40
the American one of course if you're
6:42
bringing appliances on board and you are
6:43
American and you have American
6:44
appliances simply use the plug and the
6:46
outlet that's compatible and it will be
6:48
fine and if you find that your haird
6:50
dryer doesn't work there is a haird
6:51
dryer in the room as well so don't worry
6:53
too much next to these power outlets you
6:55
will find two USB typeA connectors so
6:59
these can be used to power and charge
7:00
USB devices when you enter the room
7:03
you'll probably find that one of those
7:04
USBs is already taken up and that's
7:06
being used to charge the tablet the
7:08
tablet device is what you will use in
7:10
the room to control the lighting and the
7:12
air conditioning it also controls the TV
7:15
and I'll come back later on in this
7:16
video to tell you exactly what the
7:18
tablet does and how to use it so back to
7:21
the electric sockets so there are two
7:23
more places you can power your devices
7:25
and these are by the bed which is very
7:27
convenient because you might want to
7:29
charge your phone or your smartwatch as
7:31
you're sleeping so both of these power
7:33
outlets have the same connections so
7:35
you're going to find a USA outlet and
7:37
you're also going to find two more USB
7:40
typeA connectors so a little note on
7:42
those USB connectors these are USB typeA
7:45
connectors and yes USB typeA are
7:48
becoming a little bit harder to find out
7:50
in the world so actually when you're
7:52
bringing your devices on board you might
7:54
actually find that your iPhone or your
7:56
smartwatch comes with a connector that
7:58
has USB C type which is the smaller one
8:00
and this won't be compatible with the
8:02
USBA socket so do make sure if you plan
8:06
to charge anything with USB and you're
8:08
using USBC that you're bringing some
8:11
sort of adapter or connector to be able
8:13
to plug your devices in the ships
8:15
unfortunately are a little bit behind
8:17
the times when it comes to USB we don't
8:19
know which type of USB socket that
8:21
brilliant lady will have because it's
8:22
yet to launch but it's likely because
8:24
the ship was built around the same time
8:26
as the other ships that it will probably
8:28
have USB type A but of course keep an
8:30
eye on vbvinsider.com and we'll update
8:33
our electric outlet guides to update you
8:35
with the latest information about what
8:36
Brilliant Lady offers as she launches
8:39
later this year so those type of
8:40
connectors are available on both sides
8:42
of the queen bed so you'll have two of
8:44
those outlets and one of those outlets
8:47
will generally be where the chair and
8:49
the table setup will be so it's actually
8:51
a great place if you need to do some
8:53
work while you're on the ship and you
8:54
need to plug your laptop in that's
8:56
generally quite a convenient place to
8:57
plug your equipment in now remember the
8:59
things that you're prohibited from
9:01
bringing on board are generally to avoid
9:03
any fire hazards and this generally
9:05
means electric devices that you're
9:07
prohibited from bringing so you're not
9:10
able to bring irons you're not able to
9:12
bring your own steamer although you can
9:14
ask for a steamer if you need to
9:15
decrease your clothes so simply ask your
9:17
roomkeeper for one if you need one and
9:20
one other thing that you can't bring
9:21
which would be really useful but you're
9:23
not allowed and it is for a good reason
9:25
is a power strip or a multiport
9:27
extension so if you're thinking that
9:29
it's quite limited and you don't have
9:31
many sockets or outlets in the room
9:33
unfortunately you're not able to
9:34
increase the amount of sockets by
9:36
bringing on an extension lead if you try
9:38
and bring that with you it will
9:39
generally be confiscated from your
9:41
luggage and you will need to retrieve
9:43
that before the end of your voyage so
9:45
now that's electric outlets out the way
9:47
let's talk a little bit more about the
9:48
functions and the features that are
9:50
available to you as part of your smart
9:52
cabin so the smart cabin features
9:54
actually all boil down really to what's
9:56
available on your tablet device which is
9:58
the one that's plugged into one of the
10:00
USB ports that I mentioned earlier the
10:02
tablet device is connected to all of the
10:04
features in the room so not only can you
10:06
control the lighting from the tablet
10:09
you're actually also able to control the
10:11
air conditioning from the tablet as well
10:13
and also the curtains so they actually
10:15
have an electric motor in them and you
10:16
can press a button on the tablet and
10:18
they will open for you the tablet also
10:20
controls the television one of the great
10:22
features about Virgin Voyages is that
10:24
the movies and entertainment that's
10:26
available on the TV are all free of
10:28
charge they're all included with your
10:30
cruise fair you're not having to pay any
10:31
more for them so you can actually use
10:33
the tablet to put one of these movies on
10:35
it will also ask as you start a movie
10:37
whether you want to set the mood for
10:39
that so actually it will use the smart
10:41
room technology to turn the lighting
10:43
down close the blinds so you can enjoy
10:45
the movie in somewhat of a cinematic
10:47
environment there are also a few modes
10:49
available on the tablet itself so you
10:51
can set the room for example into zen
10:53
mode so if for example you've had a lot
10:55
of fun at the PJ party the night before
10:57
and you need a little bit of extra time
10:58
in your cabin you can set it to zen mode
11:01
it will reduce the lighting and set it
11:02
to a nice blue hue I believe it is it
11:04
will close the blinds and it will play
11:06
calming music there are also a few other
11:09
modes on there so have a swipe through
11:10
and take a look some of them are quite
11:12
fun and are themed to different
11:13
activities you might get up to in your
11:15
cabin now of course because the tablet
11:17
is connected to your TV it will also be
11:19
the place that you'll go to as you enter
11:21
your room to start playing the safety
11:24
video which is a requirement of you
11:26
entering the ship so you'll do this as
11:28
part of your safety muster so you can go
11:30
on the tablet press play and the movie
11:32
will start playing and that will tell
11:34
you about all the safety features aboard
11:35
the vessel now a couple of last notes
11:37
about the functionality and the electric
11:39
features that you've got going on in
11:41
your room near the door itself you'll
11:43
see a little panel a black panel which
11:45
will have two buttons on it one of the
11:47
buttons when you press it will go red
11:49
and the other button will go blue the
11:52
red button is the do not disturb mode so
11:54
you can put that on to make sure that
11:56
your housekeeper knows that you're using
11:57
the room and you don't need any service
11:59
at that time of course always make sure
12:01
it's switched off as you leave the room
12:03
if you want your room made up for the
12:04
day otherwise you might get back after
12:06
your day out in port for example to find
12:08
that your room has not been touched
12:09
since you woke up so do make sure you
12:11
disable that if you need to but then of
12:13
course the blue button does the exact
12:15
opposite so the blue button is a bit of
12:17
an indicator to your room steward or
12:18
your housekeeper that you'd actually
12:20
like the room made up so if you press
12:22
the blue button that will show up on
12:24
your door so as the housekeeper is
12:25
making their round they can see that
12:27
you've requested your room to be made up
12:29
and they can pop in there and make sure
12:30
everything's great for you and the last
12:32
note on the electric features in the
12:33
room which is something that's very
12:35
important for us as UK sailor is the air
12:38
conditioning in the room and I will say
12:39
the air conditioning on board Virgin
12:41
Voyages is very good and it can make the
12:43
room very very cold indeed so be careful
12:45
if you're setting it to one of the
12:46
lowest settings we generally find even
12:49
though we are from the UK that actually
12:51
the middle level is quite good for us
12:53
there is a panel on the wall just
12:54
outside the bathroom for you to change
12:56
these settings or of course you can do
12:58
it from the tablet itself if you'd like
12:59
to use that smart functionality one
13:02
thing I will say which is very important
13:03
is to always make sure your balcony door
13:05
is closed if you're not using it and the
13:08
reason for that is twofold one is that
13:10
the air conditioning will not work if
13:12
your cabin door is open even just a bit
13:14
even if it's fully closed and it's not
13:16
completely locked the air conditioning
13:18
will simply not operate and you'll
13:20
actually see an indicator light on the
13:22
air conditioning panel to tell you when
13:24
this is the case so if you feel the room
13:26
heating up and can't quite understand
13:27
why check the balcony door is closed cuz
13:29
it simply won't work if it's open and
13:31
another important reason is that there
13:33
is some sort of phenomenon that happens
13:35
where if your balcony door is open and
13:37
somebody opens your cabin door there
13:39
will be this massive gust of wind and
13:41
you might have seen some viral social
13:43
media content around this with things
13:45
flying around the room in some
13:46
ridiculous tempest the curtains going
13:48
everywhere and although I'm not sure of
13:50
the physics of that it definitely is a
13:52
thing so make sure that your balcony
13:53
door is closed in case you have things
13:55
flying around your cabin that you don't
13:57
want to or somebody might get injured if
13:59
the door slams for example a few notes
14:01
on the bathroom the shower is very
14:02
spacious and you get a rain head shower
14:04
and also a wand you will also have
14:06
access to shampoo conditioner and shower
14:09
gel which are by a brand called Red
14:12
Flower i've not come across them
14:13
personally before I sailed on Virgin
14:15
Voyages but they are very good and they
14:17
come in a dispenser style pumpaction
14:20
container which is fixed to the wall and
14:22
your room attendant will top that up if
14:24
it's needed the sink has a vanity area
14:26
around it and a raised shelf so there's
14:28
plenty room to put your toothbrush and
14:30
your toiletries there's also a shelf
14:32
underneath the vanity as well so if you
14:34
want to get rid of your toiletry bag for
14:35
example you can just put that underneath
14:37
there for safekeeping and you can keep
14:39
your vanity nice and clear for your
14:40
voyage and just one quick note on the
14:43
toilet if you've never cruised before
14:44
the toilets on board cruisers act a
14:46
little bit like an airplane toilet by
14:48
which I mean you need to close the lid
14:50
before you flush because there's some
14:52
sort of vacuum action that takes place
14:53
so for safety keep the lid closed as
14:55
you're flushing also a really important
14:58
note to make sure you're not putting
14:59
anything down there that might clog up
15:01
the internal system of the ship so make
15:03
sure you're not putting foreign objects
15:05
down there and there's a sign to tell
15:06
you exactly that as well so that's all
15:08
the functions of the room covered a
15:10
couple of things that will be in the
15:11
room for your own personal use so water
15:14
you will have two cars of water they
15:17
will generally be still but if you
15:19
prefer sparkling or you'd like to have
15:20
one still and one sparkling simply ask
15:23
your housekeeper and they can arrange
15:24
that for you but it's filtered water and
15:26
it's complimentary for you to use as
15:28
part of your cruise fair which is a
15:30
really nice perk you don't have to buy
15:32
water bottles in fact you're not allowed
15:33
plastic water bottles on board Virgin
15:35
Voyages and that's part of their
15:36
environmental ethos so if you do drink a
15:39
lot of water bring your own water bottle
15:41
and you can fill that up at refill
15:42
stations around the ship or you can
15:44
simply ask for filtered water from any
15:46
bar because soft drinks are included as
15:48
part of your voyage fair you can get
15:49
that from anywhere so you will not go
15:51
thirsty I promise so other things that
15:53
you'll find in the room you'll have a
15:54
Sexton style cork screw that you can use
15:57
for opening wine you can bring two
15:59
bottles of wine on board we have a page
16:00
on bbinsider.com which tells you all
16:02
about that you'll also generally find a
16:05
rubber octopus which is kind of like a
16:06
rubber duck that you can take as a
16:08
souvenir if you like it will be
16:09
obviously charged to your onboard
16:11
account but these are quite a nice
16:12
souvenir and they are themed to ship so
16:14
at the moment for Scarlet you've got a
16:16
red octopus for Valiant you have a
16:18
purple octopus and for Resilient you
16:20
have a teal or a turquoise octopus we're
16:22
still waiting to see what the brilliant
16:24
lady octopus color is going to be
16:25
there's certain rumors going around we
16:27
have our money on orange but we'll see
16:29
how close we are when we get to August
16:31
during brilliant launch season you'll
16:33
also find a throw in the room that
16:35
you're able to use for your voyage as
16:36
well so I've got an example here behind
16:38
me this is the red one this is what you
16:40
get in the sailor cabins sea views sea
16:42
terraces if you're sailing as a rockstar
16:44
or a mega rockstar the color scheme is
16:47
slightly different it's like a purple
16:48
color if you take those out of the cabin
16:51
it will be charged to your onboard
16:52
account or they're available in the high
16:54
street gift shop which is what we've
16:55
done here recently Virgin Voyages have
16:58
supplied as well two beach towels in the
17:00
room red beach towels that you're able
17:02
to use and take off the ship if you like
17:04
if you return them back to your room you
17:06
can use them complimentary if you take
17:08
them off the ship or you put them in
17:09
your case you're very welcome to do that
17:11
if you like but they will be charged to
17:13
your onboard account and there'll be a
17:14
little note in the room to tell you
17:15
exactly how much they'll charge for that
17:17
if you're unsure about taking any of
17:19
these items out of the room or taking
17:20
them with you as you leave the ship ask
17:22
your housekeeper and they'll tell you
17:24
the details that you'll need to know
17:25
certainly don't remove anything from the
17:27
room if you're not sure whether you can
17:28
or not always ask because you don't want
17:30
to get the housekeeper in any trouble if
17:32
you've taken something you really
17:33
shouldn't have so that's in general what
17:35
you'll find in your cabin now I just
17:37
want to mention a few things about
17:38
getting a really good night's sleep on
17:40
board Virgin Voyages and the first thing
17:41
I want to mention is the configuration
17:43
of the beds so depending on who you're
17:46
sailing with the size of your party and
17:48
the room that you've chosen will really
17:50
dictate what the beds will look like
17:52
generally if you're sailing as a couple
17:54
you'll find the normal configuration of
17:55
the one queen bed absolutely fine now if
17:58
you're sailing with more people or if
18:00
you're sailing with friends for example
18:02
you might need to ask your room
18:03
attendant or your housekeeper to make
18:05
some changes to the bed configuration so
18:07
if you'd prefer to have two twin beds
18:09
instead of one queen bed you can ask
18:11
them to split it apart and the way that
18:14
it'll be split apart is it will be put
18:15
into almost like an L shape where one of
18:17
the twin beds is facing one way and then
18:20
the other twin bed is facing the other
18:22
if you're sailing with more people in
18:23
the room so if you've got three sailors
18:25
in your room for example the room
18:27
attendant will actually lower the
18:28
Pullman style bed from the ceiling and
18:31
make that up for you and set the ladder
18:32
up so that you can use that the only
18:34
other exception for this of course is
18:36
the social insider room which is the
18:38
only non-rostar room on the ship that
18:40
can accommodate four people and this is
18:42
two twin beds with two Pullman beds that
18:45
come down as well so it's effectively
18:46
two bunk beds that you'll see in the
18:48
room if you have any trouble sleeping or
18:50
if you need a configuration or
18:52
adjustment needed at all let your room
18:54
attendant know because there are a few
18:56
things that they can do to make your
18:58
night sleep a little bit more
18:59
comfortable for example one thing that
19:01
we always ask for when we sail in a
19:03
sailor cabin is a mattress topper and it
19:05
does make the bed a lot more comfortable
19:07
and really the only reason why the beds
19:09
are not as comfortable as they could be
19:11
is because the beds themselves are
19:13
actually designed to be turned into a
19:15
sofa so you can use the whole room as
19:17
almost like a living room through the
19:19
day and then you can change the cabin
19:21
back to being a bedroom at night now
19:23
originally Virgin Voyages when they
19:25
launched were going to do this for
19:26
everyone they were going to change the
19:28
room around every single day that
19:29
everyone could enjoy their living room
19:31
on the daytime and then they can enjoy
19:33
their bedroom on the nighttime now this
19:35
is still possible so if you do want to
19:37
have that experience where you've got a
19:39
larger room and it's configured it's set
19:40
up like a living room for the daytime
19:42
you can ask your room attendant to do
19:45
that if you must but otherwise they're
19:47
just going to keep it in the bedroom
19:48
configuration instead now because of
19:50
that design decision it does mean that
19:52
the mattresses aren't necessarily as
19:55
comfortable as they possibly could be so
19:57
that's why we ask for the mattress
19:58
topper when we're sailing on Virgin
20:00
Voyages and you're certainly welcome to
20:02
ask your room attendant for the same
20:04
also don't be afraid to ask for anything
20:05
else that could make your stay a little
20:07
bit more comfortable so if you require
20:09
extra pillows or you'd like them to take
20:11
pillows away or you'd prefer another
20:13
duvet if your partner steals the duvet
20:15
for example you certainly can ask for
20:17
that as well the room staff will do
20:18
anything in their power to make it as
20:20
comfortable as possible for you and if
20:22
there's anything that they can't do
20:23
they'll tell you very politely but it's
20:24
certainly worth an ask one other note on
20:26
getting a good night's sleep is to of
20:28
course make sure that you're not in one
20:30
of those cabins that's in one of those
20:31
noisy areas so we at vbvinsider.com have
20:35
cataloged all of the cabins on all of
20:37
the ships to tell you if you've been
20:39
assigned a room that might be in one of
20:41
those noisy areas there's a couple of
20:43
examples where this might be the case so
20:45
for example if you're right next to an
20:47
entertainment venue like the manor the
20:49
nightclub or if you're next to the red
20:51
room you might hear people or music
20:53
throughout the day and into the night so
20:55
just check that you're not near one of
20:56
these venues and again on vbvinsides.com
20:59
the cabin lookup tool if you put your
21:01
cabin number in there it will tell you
21:02
if that's the case also you might be
21:05
next to one of those operational areas
21:07
as well so for example there are areas
21:09
on the ship that are used for heavy
21:10
machinery don't forget you're actually
21:12
on an oceangoing vessel so there is of
21:15
course the need for ropes and chains to
21:17
be moved around machinery to be used and
21:20
sometimes the areas where that's done is
21:22
a little bit too close to guest cabins
21:24
so again on vbvinsider.com we can tell
21:27
you if that's the case so that's pretty
21:29
much everything you need to know about
21:30
your cabin on Virgin Voyages now as I've
21:33
said before your experience if you're
21:35
sailing in a Rockstar or a Mega Rockstar
21:37
suite will be quite different and we're
21:39
going to be covering those differences
21:41
in a video in the coming weeks so make
21:43
sure you subscribe to hear more about
21:44
the Rockstar and the Mega Rockstar
21:46
experience because it is a fantastic
21:48
experience is a little bit more
21:49
expensive but in my opinion it's worth
21:51
every penny and we're going to cover off
21:53
all the benefits that you get as part of
21:55
that option in one of our upcoming
21:57

21:58
