      Covid is not an issue anymore. We went on a cruise at the beginning of the year and no issues.

            @bobwokeup: These things burn heavy bunker crude and literally dump raw sewerage into the ocean.

            They have a point

                  @Drakesy: Thanks to you too for accepting my correction graciously! I was expecting to be yelled at for it, such is the state and nature of social media these days.

      • Willyslicks on 21/09/2023 - 19:34

        Not like new variants are popping up every few months

  • nightelves on 21/09/2023 - 18:44

    So is this an actual cruise or you only get a terrace view for 80k?

    • soupfluencer on 21/09/2023 - 18:48
      +4

      Pretty great deal considering all meals are included (restaurants too) however something is telling me I would rather a business class flight.

      • Drakesy on 21/09/2023 - 19:17

        Unfortunately business class flights (at least for me) are few and far between

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 21/09/2023 - 18:52

      All the fine print suggests it's the whole cruise. Certainly, if they expect you to pay for the fees itself, then you'd have grounds to get your points back.

    • lainey13 on 22/09/2023 - 14:03

      All food, essential drinks (still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas and even drip coffee.), Wi-Fi, Tips, Group fitness, shows and entertainment.

      great, go huff some polio

      • The Judge on 21/09/2023 - 21:00

        You don't need a polio vaccine, or any other vaccine besides "that" one to get onboard…

        • easternculture on 21/09/2023 - 21:10
          +4

          Yep. Just covid vaccine.
          But you can be measles, chicken pox, mumps etc unvaxxed and go on a cruise no worries.
          But who cares about a measles outbreak on a cruise ship, as long as you are covid vaxxed

    • ninnypoop on 21/09/2023 - 21:39

      I love that they don't allow the unvaccinated on the boat. Couldn't imagine being stuck on a cruise ship with such people.

    • bob19 on 22/09/2023 - 05:44

      Wasn't this requirement cancelled for all cruises? I had emails from several cruise companies advising that it was cancelled.

  • dj69 on 21/09/2023 - 19:18

    The requested quantity is not available.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 21/09/2023 - 19:19

      I got that too, but managed to push it through eventually.

      • dj69 on 21/09/2023 - 19:24

        worked by going into the cart and checking out. thanks for the heads up

  • hellwolf on 21/09/2023 - 20:04

    I got one, hopefully the cruise I want is still available when the access keys are sent out.

    • lainey13 on 22/09/2023 - 14:02

      Same, there better be availability for all keys since no refunds if not used apparently.

      • killabob on 03/10/2023 - 14:00

        How long did it take to get your keys? 5 days or 5 working days…?

        • hellwolf on 03/10/2023 - 14:02

          I ordered mine in the afternoon on 21/09 and received the access key on 26/09 in the early morning.

  • Coops1 on 21/09/2023 - 20:43
    +1

    The way I see it, if you want to do a cruise, the only limitation here is getting the cruise you want. And for all the Melbourne people, it would be the 6 night MEL-SYD-HBA-MEL to maximise value?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 21/09/2023 - 20:56
      +1

      Most likely, but also depends on when it works to take leave, and whether you want to spend more time in Tasmania.

  • Xizor on 21/09/2023 - 20:47

    Never been on a cruise but this looks like a thoroughly uninteresting route.

    • tharlow on 21/09/2023 - 21:24

      The sobering reality is that the view (and service!) is just so much better from your private jet

  • qq830821 on 21/09/2023 - 21:53

    will virgin send us the access key via mail?

    • hellwolf on 22/09/2023 - 03:54

      Yes, the access key is supposed to be sent via email by Virgin Voyages with 5 business days.

    Came for the deal, stayed for the comments 🥲

  • bob19 on 22/09/2023 - 05:46

    It's not clear how many people can cruise in one of this cabins for 80K points.

    • damion on 22/09/2023 - 07:10

      “Important Information” says “One or two people”

        If it’s 80k for two people then it’s a bargain.

          +2

          even the prices advertised on their website are for each cabin, not per pax with min 2 as usually advertised by other cruise lines.

          it's actually a pretty good deal

    Tempted, but can only really make one of the dates - if its unavailable by time i get key am i SOOL?

    • Snowman1 on 22/09/2023 - 10:01

      I would also like to know this. All I could find on the site is this: All Velocity Points redemptions for an Access Key are non-refundable. You may have certain entitlements under the Australian Consumer Law. For example, you may be entitled to a reimbursement of your Velocity Points under the Australian Consumer Law in certain circumstances.

  • Dday1 on 22/09/2023 - 09:05

    I managed to book a key. How do I now book my cruise?

    • hellwolf on 22/09/2023 - 09:15

      You wait 5 business days for them to email you the key and booking instructions.

    • digitalane on 22/09/2023 - 09:15

      Wait 5 days - then go on Virgin Voyages site and book - choose the right cruise and room, and there’s an option at checkout to Validate Key

    • Rory1983 on 24/09/2023 - 00:47

      Do you have the key? If so you should be able to book now

  • Lukian on 22/09/2023 - 10:52

    Are there any 10-15% off velocity rewards store deals likely to be coming up before this promo ends?

  • fremeer on 22/09/2023 - 11:16

    Can you buy multiple access keys and give to mates to book?

    • ThePointsGuru on 22/09/2023 - 11:54

      Each Velocity Frequent Flyer member can redeem for multiple Access Keys but only one Access Key per redemption.
      This means you can only buy 1 per transaction but can do multiple transactions if you need more.

      • fremeer on 22/09/2023 - 12:25

        And access keys can be used by anyone? Thats pretty good if you want to treat your parents or something

          Officially no. "Any resale or transfer of Access Keys or bookings is not permitted and may result in the Access Keys and/or booking(s) being cancelled without notice."

  • voteoften on 24/09/2023 - 18:15

    I think the only way to “sell
    Or transfer “ these would be yo a solo traveler. Both would beed to be on the booking and the seller be a no show.

  • Dday1 on 26/09/2023 - 06:27

    I was sent an email that was meant to contain the access key, but the spot was left completely blank. Is that the same for everyone else?

    • dj69 on 26/09/2023 - 06:27

      yes, unless the access key is a fullstop

      • Colin2905 on 26/09/2023 - 06:39

    I just received a new email with code.

    Follow the guide if you get stuck. I was trying to book the XL sea terrace or the central sea terrace - and it was trying to charge money, but when I selected the sea terrace it went to $0.

    All booked!

    • Spazmos on 26/09/2023 - 07:48

      I messaged them this morning on live chat and a support ticket was raised. I received another email with the actual code included this time within an hour. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not.

  • lainey13 on 26/09/2023 - 15:27

    Booked the 6 nights. Redeemed 80,000 for $4600 cabin for two people. Is that a good rate? Either way I'm happy to finally get to use some points!

    • nightelves on 26/09/2023 - 15:34
      +2

      That is insane value. Considering a business class flight to SEA is 71k and $400 at the equivalent of $2.1k one way.

      • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 26/09/2023 - 16:15

        Yep, business class flights were my point of comparison too. And this is one of the nicest cruise liners you can sail, amazing food.

  • qq830821 on 28/09/2023 - 09:54

    any good cabins left?

    • hellwolf on 29/09/2023 - 09:41

      Hard to tell since you can't pick your exact cabin, only the category and depends which sailing you choose.

    • blueyez on 30/09/2023 - 09:31

      You only have a choice of 2. Just booked a sea terrace

  • Spazmos on 02/10/2023 - 15:26
    +1

    FYI, on booking you get assigned a cabin, but if you don't like it you can call up their call centre to change cabins within the same category. You can't visually see which ones are available, but if you give them your preferences e.g. deck level, away from elevators, more mid ship, they can have a look for you…

    • hellwolf on 03/10/2023 - 14:00

      Thanks, I called them up and moved from the back of deck 12 to a cabin closer to midship on deck 9.
