Quick Guide: Virgin Voyages ShipEats Menu Highlights

The Nitty-Gritty: Ordering ShipEats & The (Almost Non-Existent) Delivery Fee

Ordering from ShipEats is a streamlined process, primarily handled through the Virgin Voyages Sailor App. Sailors can navigate to the “Services” tab, select “ShipEats,” browse the available food and drink options, add items to their basket, and then proceed to checkout. After confirming the cabin number and reviewing the order, placing it is a simple click. The app also allows for tracking the order status. Some user experiences suggest that ordering via the in-room tablet can also be an option, particularly if app connectivity is intermittent.

A $10 delivery charge is applied to ShipEats orders. However, this fee is cleverly waived under two conditions:

• If the order includes any paid items (such as a specialty coffee, a cocktail, or a bottle of wine) that bring the total of those paid items to $10 or more, the delivery fee is waived. This provides an incentive to add a beverage or another small treat, effectively making the delivery complimentary while enjoying an extra indulgence.
• Sailors staying in RockStar Quarters receive complimentary ShipEats delivery as one of their many perks.

This fee structure is a smart approach, encouraging Sailors to explore more of the paid beverage menu or enhancing the value proposition of the premium RockStar Quarters. Understanding how to navigate this can add to the enjoyment and perceived value of the cruise. CamJon Travel excels in illuminating these nuances for their clients, offering guidance on how to best utilize onboard credits (which they adeptly help clients maximize through promotions) to enjoy services like ShipEats without incurring extra delivery charges. For those aspiring to the RockStar experience, with its host of benefits including free ShipEats, CamJon Travel provides expert advice on cabin selection and ensures access to all entitled VIP treatments. Their knowledge of every cabin category and the associated perks is invaluable in crafting these elevated experiences.

Not Just Delicious, But Conscious Too: Virgin Voyages’ Sustainable Dining Approach

Virgin Voyages’ commitment to a better way of cruising extends deeply into its dining operations, including ShipEats, under its “Epic Sea Change For All” sustainability mission. A significant aspect of this is the stringent “no single-use plastic” policy enforced onboard. When Sailors order from ShipEats, they will not find plastic straws, disposable water bottles, or plastic cutlery; instead, meals are delivered with real flatware and reusable items, reflecting a genuine effort to reduce plastic waste. This practice is confirmed by Sailor reviews, noting the use of proper plates and silverware for in-cabin dining.

Furthermore, the philosophy of making food to order, which is a hallmark of all Virgin Voyages eateries, also applies to ShipEats. This approach significantly curtails food waste, a common issue with traditional cruise ship buffets. By preparing meals as they are requested, Virgin Voyages ensures freshness while minimizing environmental impact.

This dedication to sustainability resonates with many modern travelers who seek responsible vacation options. CamJon Travel, itself based in an eco-friendly community, proudly aligns with and champions partners like Virgin Voyages that prioritize the planet. This shared value makes the endorsement of Virgin’s green initiatives authentic and reinforces CamJon Travel’s commitment to promoting travel that is both luxurious and conscientious.
