Drinks Package Options
I’m excited to learn about the different drinks package options available on Virgin Voyages.
While I’m familiar with their Bar Tab system and drink prices, I’m curious to know if there are any other customization options available. Can I choose to only add certain types of drinks to my Bar Tab? Can I set a limit on how much I want to spend?
Additionally, I’m interested in learning more about sharing options for the Bar Tab. Can I split the cost with my cabin mates? Can we all use the same Bar Tab, or do we need to set up individual ones?
I’m hoping to find a drinks package that suits both my needs and budget, and I’m eager to see what Virgin Voyages has to offer.
Bar Tab Details
Setting up a prepaid Bar Tab before the cruise comes with bonus credit, but can it be used for multiple individuals? Yes, it can! The Bar Tab can be shared with cabin mates, making it a convenient option for groups of travelers.
However, it is important to note that the Bar Tab must be set up before the cruise through a travel agent or directly with Virgin Voyages. Additionally, the prepaid Bar Tab cannot be rolled over to another Virgin Voyages cruise and there’s no refund or transfer of the Bar Tab to another passenger.
If you’re interested in setting up a Bar Tab, it can be done by calling your travel agent or Virgin Voyages directly. Non-alcoholic beers and spirits are not included in the free drinks and must be paid for with the Bar Tab.
The Bar Tab can be used at all bars, restaurants, and even the Bimini beach club. Plus, for every $300 added, Virgin Voyages tops up with an extra $50, making it a great deal for those who plan on enjoying a few drinks during their cruise.
