In the extremely unlikely event that you're planning to go on a Virgin Voyages cruise AND you're trying to make sense of the bid-to-upgrade system... boy, do I have a blog post for you.

This is a summary of eighteen months of careful observation and deduction. Feels like useful knowledge to get out onto the web even if it's pretty niche.

@bendaubney@social.lol So the answer is, don't go cruising with VV as they seem preoccupied with making as much revenue as possible. What about the actual cruise experience? Anyway, wouldn't be me, I don't cruise. Not unless it's the sidewalk.
