How Does the Bar Tab Work on Virgin Voyages? It sounds like a loaded question like there should be a catch, but it’s so simple to understand.
Rather than an overly complicated drinks package, Virgin Voyages have a simple Bar Tab system, you put $300 behind the bar, and they will give you a bonus of $50 to spend in all premium drinks onboard, both alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
On this weeks episode of Magically Cruising, Kieran and Sarah talk about drinks on Virgin Voyages. Virgin Voyages is an innovative cruise line that offers a unique approach to drinking on board.
They offer a range of speciality cocktails, fine wines, and craft beers that are sure to tantalize your taste buds but no drinks package.
