Bar Tab
Who should (and shouldn’t) buy a Bar Tab?
Buy if you’ll spend at least $30/day on drinks. That’s about 2 cocktails, 3 beers or wine, or 5 lattes. This is enough spending to use up the Bar Tab including the pre-purchase bonus. You can share a Bar tab with your roommate or use it to buy drinks for them, so factor in their consumption too.
Don’t buy if you have a lot of Sailor Loot (onboard credit) that you won’t use for anything else - just use the Sailor Loot for drinks.
🤔 What Is It?
Bar Tabs let you prepay for drinks, and Virgin throws some bonus money in it, too (keep reading).
Bar Tabs are optional. If you don’t buy it, drinks are charged to your onboard account as you order them. Drinks cost the same regardless of how you pay for them.
⭐️ Bonus Credit
The main reason to buy a Bar Tab is that Virgin will give you a bonus. For example, if you buy a $200 Bar Tab, you get a $25 bonus. The more expensive the Bar Tab, the bigger the bonus.
🛒 How To Buy
Bar Tabs must be purchased at least 24 hours before sailing.
Wait until Atlantis has emailed you to register with Virgin (2-4 weeks before the cruises), then go into the Virgin Voyages app and tap Discover > Add-Ons. You’ll see a list of the Bar Tab amounts you can buy.
⚙️ How To Use
It’s automatic
Drinks will automatically be deducted from your Bar Tab - you don’t have to do anything special to use it. If your Bar Tab runs out, then your Sailor Loot (onboard credit) will be used (if you have some), else it’ll be charged to your onboard account.
Use it or lose it
Any unused amounts on your Bar Tab cannot be refunded or transferred. Bar Tabs are only valid for the specific cruise you buy it before - they expire at the end of the cruise and cannot be rolled over to your next cruise.
You can share it
You can use your Bar Tab to buy any other cruiser a drink. There’s no limit to how drinks you can buy.
You can also share your Bar Tab with your roommate, but when the Tab runs out, any additional drinks purchased will be charged to one of you (not both).
Works everywhere onboard
