we highly recommend joining a Facebook group that's specific to your ship or sailing it's a great place to get loads of answers to frequently asked questions

rooms are ready as soon as you get on board with Virgin voyages so if you're traveling on a red band you'll be invited to go straight to your room and drop your things
