Although Virgin Voyages cruises include more than most cruise lines in the base fare, there are a few extras to keep in mind when planning your cruise holiday. Alcoholic drinks, specialty coffees and premium beverages are an additional expense unless prepaid through a bar tab. Winding down in your cabin for the night can mean ordering food though ship eats but while all restaurants on board are free, you might have to pay a delivery fee unless you are ordering specialty items that meets the minimum delivery fee, this can mean adding a 5 dollar coffee to avoid paying to have food delivered. Shore excursions are also optional and it varies by destination or activity, you can review your cruise itinerary for a better understanding of the shore excursions available. Spa treatments, the thermal suites, tattoos studios, onboard boutiques, professional photography, casino gaming and specialty items on the ” treat yourself” menus like the sea food tower, tomahawk steak and truffles are not included . While these extras are fully optional, planning ahead can help you tailor your cruise to suit your preferences.
