GBOverall great first time cruise, but be aware for racism on board from other sailors Overall, the service was pretty good, and I was impressed by the options for food choices, activities and entertainment, but I wish the crowd of people were less racist; the Extra Virgin experience threw us off for our last day. We come on vacation to have fun and relax, not to be profiled and made uncomfortable by racist guests. This is something to look into. I would also like to say a big Thank you to Maria, who I was on the phone with before I got on the ship because I was running late due to my flight being delayed. I was able to get there in the nick of time. She sent an urgent email to the terminal crew and informed them we were running late. She stayed on the phone with me and offered encouragement while I panicked about missing the cruise. It was really appreciated, and it's something I will always remember. Thank you, Maria. You were really appreciated, and you are the real MVP. I appreciate all the help. Thanks for helping me create my first cruise experience.

GBOne of the best vacations EVER One of the best vacations EVER! The staff at Virgin are so incredible especially Karina our Rockstar agent! She was so professional and accommodating on both of our voyages (we sailed back to back April 7-17! Gabriel was great too! We are definitely planning another voyage for next year! The food was delicious, our suite was a “cheeky corner suite” with an aft balcony which I highly recommend! Zsolt at the On the Rocks bar was a fantastic server along with Dragona our housekeeper who was also top notch! Ayu at Richard’s Rooftop became our sweet friend as well! She was so attentive! We had no idea how great an all adult cruise was until we sailed Virgin- I cannot recommend this cruise line enough and even got teary eyed when we disembarked. The entertainment was great and Scarlet Night was definitely worth it! One thing I failed to do was rent a golf cart in Grand Turk which I would recommend doing in advance next time.

GBBest cruise ever This was my 5th cruise. It was by far the best experience I've had on a boat. Customer service exceeded expectations. Nothing was overly crowded. The food options were so incredible. Between the restaurants and the gallery there was something for everyone. The make your own salad was by far the best salad "bar" I've ever eaten. The dessert options were delicious too. So many options. I loved that it was adult only. I love children but sometimes it's nice to not have them around. The casino and shops were both nice. The tattoo shop on board was fantastic. My sister and I got matching tattoos. The terrace was nice. The hammock was a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. I loved all the options for bars. All the bartenders knew what they were doing and the drinks were reasonably priced. I can honestly say I will never go on another cruise line. Virgin won me over for life!!

CAI’ve been on 20 cruises with 7 cruiselines I’ve been on 20 cruises with seven different cruise lines, if Virgin Voyages is your first ever cruise you’re really setting yourself a really high bar.! Fantastic food and restaurants, amazing that soft drinks is unlimited and included. The only thing is getting used to booking all the restaurants and shows which unfortunately we missed out on some due to high demand and overbooked. Small theatre!

AUConcerned The Resilient Lady is a lovely, modern ship. The restaurants, food and staff are exceptional. I am, however, disappointed by the lack of concern over what could become quite a problem. I was bitten by something in my cabin. The bites look quite like those of a bed bug. It took 3 visits for an investigation and I never received an update from them. I was promised a call and was to have my laundry done-never happened. Another in our group was also bitten and I've since discovered another on a different floor. The manager was not interested and seemed not to want to take any precautionary measures to prevent a possible outbreak or that I may take it home. I spent a rather unpleasant 2 weeks with weeping itchy bites. Let's hope it doesn't spread.
