Big price increases in 2026

Just got back from my first VV cruise and had a blast, so much so that I was ready to book another cruise next year. Imagine my surprise that my exact same Caribbean cruise in Feb. 2026 is 25% more for the exact same cabin.

I read somewhere that Virgin launched with lower fares than their business model called for due to covid timing, but that was 4 years ago. Of course, I expect to pay more in 2026 than I did in 2025, but these price increases are gigantic.

Is anyone else experiencing major sticker shock?
