How to reserve
If you would like to make a reservation, you can! If you prefer to plan ahead, you'll have the ability to book dining experiences during the pre-voyage period directly from our Virgin Voyages App or through a First Mate starting 45 days before departure, and our Sailors booked in Mega RockStar and RockStar Quarters will have the ability to book starting 60 days before. That being said, if you like to go with the flow, we take walk-ins and day-of reservations at all of our eateries. With so many options, you'll never have to stress about having an incredible dining experience waiting for you. If you would like to make reservations prior to voyage and none are available, no need to worry! We don't open all reservations prior to the voyage, so more reservation slots open up once you come aboard the ship.
