You can book dinner and brunch 45 days before your sailing (this means at MIDNIGHT of the day that is 45 days before your embarkation day) 2. There are 6 “dinner restaurants” and 2 of them also offer brunch 3. That you can book EACH RESTAURANT one time “on a short sailing” and on a “longer sailing” can book them twice (or more depending on how long the sailing is) Example Itineraries can be found in this blog post https://whereintheworldiscl.com/virgin-voyages-things-to-do-with-example-daily-itineraries/ ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! ***** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?
