Your Atlantis Cruise Vacation Guide is Here

It’s almost time to set sail on the incredible Resilient Lady from Miami!  We have a fabulous Thanksgiving Week experience planned for you, and Virgin’s team onboard is beyond excited to welcome you. Your Cruise Vacation Guide is available now, with full details on what to expect during your vacation and essential advice on preparing to sail. Please take a few minutes to read this very important document.

You can download your copy of the vacation guide right here:

https://atlantisevents.com/wp-content/uploads/vt24-cruise-vacation-guide.pdf

If you haven’t already done so, please download the Virgin Voyages App and register. This will allow you to book shore excursions and customize your experience perfectly!

Register with Virgin Voyages in their App
You should take a minute now and register with Virgin Voyages directly in their Virgin Sailor App (available for free download in the Apple or Android App store.) Registration only takes a minute and will be open until 9 am on November 25.

Your booking number with Virgin Voyages is as follows:

Please note that the Virgin Booking ID is different from your Atlantis confirmation number. Each room only has one Virgin ID. If “N/A” appears above, it means that Virgin is still adding you to the manifest.

Once you have your booking number, you need only set up your account on the Virgin Sailor App. Instructions are in the App. You cannot register on a laptop via the web, as it all takes place in the App.

Please note that there are six steps in the registration process, but each only takes a minute.

Customize Your Vacation Experience
There’s still time to customize your voyage in a variety of ways, right from the App:

  • Book Shore Things to explore our beautiful ports.  Virgin has created some of the most engaging, energizing, and fun shore experiences in the world that are perfect for Atlantis guests.  You’ll find them refreshingly different from other cruise ships’ offerings and exciting!
  • Purchase a Bar Tab for a discount!  This gives you a way to buy credit for onboard purchases and get some extra dollars to spend onboard on drinks for you or your friends.  It’s a sensational deal and only available before we set sail.
  • Book Spa appointments in advance.  Virgin has the most gorgeous full-service spa on the high seas, with unique treatments that we know you’ll love.
  • Indulge in the optional “Touch of Romance” package adding a sweet collection of sensational services for one low price. This limited new package offers each couple priority boarding, daily juice specials, a 3-hour Thermal Spa pass, one “shake for Champagne”, daily delicious bites, a special Sailaway event, and more! All for $250 per room but limited to 90 rooms!

If you have any questions or issues with accessing your booking, please call Virgin directly on +1 954 488 2955. However – and this is very important – if their call center refuses to assist you because “This is a charter sailing” or similar statement, please get the agent’s name and call our team on +1 310-859-8800. We’ve been working together to ensure their team can fully assist but it takes time, given their global footprint. And don’t worry, they will not get in trouble – we’re just trying to find the pockets where the training is not getting through.

Finally, if you are unable to register online with Virgin, don’t panic. You can register easily on arrival, and we’ll complete the process at the pier.


That’s all for now! Watch for one final email on Saturday with advice on how to make the most of your first day onboard!!

Thank you again for choosing Atlantis for your vacation. We can’t wait to see you onboard and share this incredible experience with you.

Warm regards,
Rich, Ben, James, and the rest of your Atlantis family

Getting Ready to Sail with Virgin and Atlantis

It’s Time to Get Ready to Sail
Your Vacation Starts Here!

We can’t wait to show you a fabulous time onboard Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady for our Thanksgiving Caribbean Escape! Registration with Virgin Voyages is now open, and it’s a good time to start planning your holiday.  Getting ready to sail takes only a few minutes and opens a world of possibilities for customizing your vacation. See below for some of the exciting options. Dining onboard will be all open seating, so no reservations are necessary. You’ll see “sold out” on all the dining, but don’t worry – that just means it’s all walk-up. Shows can only be booked once onboard through the local network, but again reservations will be easy as we’ve added extra performances to make sure you can see all that you desire. Watch your inbox for more details in the Cruise Vacation Guide next week, and don’t stress about it.

Our Party Themes
Resilient Lady offers some of the best party spaces we’ve ever seen indoors and out! Costumes are optional, of course, but a little dressed-up fun adds some sparkle to our evenings and T-dances with the following party themes

Solid Gold Medalists The games in Paris are over, but their spirit lives on with a party about sport, sportsmen, and all the pageantry that make us watch every four years. Head out ready to compete or coach or arrive decked out in your favorite country’s ceremonial best.  Or just be that fan who finally got a ticket to men’s gymnastics.
Neon Magic Fast, flashy, bright, and silly! We’re turning the Pool Deck into an electronic musical playground filled with bouncy sounds that are sure to bring a smile to your face. Neon, sparkles, and lights are the way to go, and don’t take yourselves too seriously!
Tropical Heat The heat of the Caribbean is upon us, so head up for a breezy party filled with the rhythms and colors of the tropics! Less is more with colorful pareos, native prints, maybe a little body paint and anything with an island flair.  Or just show up as a lost cruise ship tourist!
Virgin White Let your imagination run wild at Atlantis’ pinnacle party. Sizzle in the moment, dress up or down in one simple color that everyone looks good in. Be as creative as your dreams, as sexy as your desires, as irreverent as your laughs, or keep it simple with your favorite white shorts. All are welcome here for the perfect night under the stars.
Dog Tag T-Dance The troops come home for Atlantis’ longest-running signature afternoon party. Show your creative strength at our first big outdoor party inspired by the joys of men in (small) uniforms. We’ll provide souvenir dog tags; you do the rest.
Revival!
Classic Disco T-Dance
Disco lives on as we take you back to the glory days of the 70s with an afternoon of pure musical magic on the dance floor. Artificial fabrics, excess facial hair, oversized shoes, and other obnoxious accessories welcome!
Think Pink T-Dance Pink is in! It’s everywhere and hotter than ever. From Barbie butch to fluffy fantastic, throw on your favorite interpretation for a hot afternoon of frivolous dolled up fun.

 


What happens next?

Next week we’ll send out our Cruise Vacation Guide with a full schedule of our entertainment and many more details about what to expect onboard.

Thank you again for selecting Atlantis for your vacation. We can’t wait to see you in Miami for this exciting adventure! It’s going to be amazing.

Warm regards,
Rich, Ben, James, and the rest of your Atlantis family

Communications Timeline

About Three Weeks Before Departure
Register for your cruise with the instructions that we’ll provide by email. You’ll need to provide passport information and other details directly to our cruise lines to complete your registration. We typically send out this information by email about a month prior to sailing. If you’re booking within a month of departure, it might take a little longer for us to add you to the cruise line’s manifest.

Pre-Order Shore Excursions. We work closely with our cruise lines to create exciting shore excursions just for our guests. These optional tours are the best way to see these amazing places in the company of your friends onboard. Space is often limited, so booking in advance is the best way to plan!

Review our preliminary schedule including party themes. We try to keep our party themes simple enough that you don’t have to worry about them long in advance. You can create a sensational outfit, shop for something fun, or simply come as you are — either way you’ll fit right in and have a great time. Themes for your cruise will be sent by email and posted right here on the “Already Booked” page about 4 weeks prior to departure.

Two Weeks Before Departure
Read Our Cruise Vacation Guide with valuable information about your ship, the entertainment, our ports, packing advice, and so much more. We’ll notify you by email once this document is available for download.

The Last Days Before Departure
Check your email for any last-minute communications regarding boarding advice, weather updates, parties in our departure city, and other things that might come up.
