Bon Voyage, Bon Appétit!
One of the most important considerations when planning our wedding was food, and Virgin Voyages does not disappoint! There are more than 20 eateries onboard, including six sit-down restaurants that can be reserved in advance (and they accept walk-ins too). Virgin does not have “specialty dining” restaurants that are an extra charge; all eateries are included in your cruise fare.
Very important: we have each of you booked already for two meals- dinner at The Wake on wedding night (Wednesday 10/15) and a small group meal on a different day (schedule below). Please do not make a reservation on your own for either of those times or it could conflict with what we already have set. You may or may not see what we have you booked for in your app, so make sure to leave those two open if it’s not appearing yet on your agenda.
We thought it would be fun to pre-schedule some small group meals, so we don’t have to worry about coordinating them during the trip. Outside of that and the wedding dinner, you can choose your own adventure for the rest of the meals on board. Please feel free to reserve a table at the same place as us on any of the days as well, the more the merrier!
Dining reservations open in the app at midnight Eastern Time this Thursday August 28th (11pm CST on 8/27). Shows typically happen around 7:30/8pm and 10pm, so keep that in mind when booking meals. We recommend making some reservations for restaurants you are most excited about, but don’t worry if you can’t get what you want right away. Virgin only opens up some availability before sailing, so you’ll have more opportunities once you get on the ship. You can always try walk-in as well to see if they can fit you in. We have had good luck doing this around 6pm and 9pm when the restaurants are less busy.
Click here to see an overview of all of the restaurants and eateries on board. Those that accept dinner reservations are The Wake, Razzle Dazzle, Pink Agave, Extra Virgin, Gunbae, and Test Kitchen. Brunch can be reserved at The Wake and Razzle Dazzle. The rest are fast casual, so they don’t accept reservations. VV Insider has a great guide with details about booking dining reservations, click here to explore that (and please reach out to us if you have any questions- we are happy to help).
Below is the schedule of meals we have already reserved. Please feel free to join us with your own reservation for any of these if you aren’t already a part of the group!

In our next update we will talk about all things Resilient Lady! This ship allows you to turn it up (or down) as much as you want, which is why we love it so much. Whatever you are feeling on any particular day, there’s something for you.
