When it comes to on board credit, Virgin Voyages deals in two types: Sailor Loot and Bar Tab. Here’s a breakdown of each credit type and additional information to help you navigate and make the most of your credit:

On Board Credit Types:

1. Sailor Loot:
   • Think of Sailor Loot as your ‘credit balance’ – you will likely start a voyage with some Sailor Loot as it’s a very popular perk when booking your cruise through a travel agent or direct with Virgin.
   • Sailor Loot can be used for any on board expenses, including services like spa treatments, drinks, treat yourself items, gambling in the casino, store purchases, spa treatments, doctors anppointments and even tattoos!
   • This credit provides flexibility, allowing you to use it for anything available on board except My Next Virgin Voyage.
   • When you have spent all of your Sailor Loot you will start running up a negative balance which will be settled before you disembark.
     • Virgin will take your negative balance from you automatically on the day you disembark if you have registered a credit card in the app or with Sailor Services.
     • If you’d prefer to settle up in cash you can do this at Sailor Services at any point before you disembark.
2. Bar Tab:
   • The Bar Tab is specifically designated for purchasing drinks during your cruise.
   • It covers a wide range of beverage options, such as cold-pressed juices, cocktails, coffee, alcoholic beverages, bottomless brunch and Afternoon Tea.
   • You don’t need to tell the bar to use your Bar Tab – if possible the Bar Tab will be used up before you start dipping into your Sailor Loot.
   • Frustratingly, right now, it cannot be used for alcohol-related events like Grog Walk, Shot for Shot, Mix it Up etc.
