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!

GBDavid Lewenz room 8202Z review of his experience On a scale of one to 10 I’d give an overall reading, rating about 8.5. The free brewed coffee on a scale of one to 10 was about a five staff and I mean all the staff 10 solid and food quality and presentation 10 solid the room accommodations were very nice but tight there’s no way two people can share a cabin with a balcony comfortably Architectural interior design of the boat was also there was a phenomenal amount of planning that went into building this boat. It shows in all areas. Charging $200 for tour of the bridge and engine room is just plain stupid if it was $50 a person, I probably would’ve paid it . The workout facilities were good not as good as my gym membership at lifetime fitness but it worked and I got a good workout every day. Track was also very nice. I use room service once and paid the seven dollar delivery charge and I understand you got offset your labor cost somehow Drink package was good quality of drinks was very good. Ships entertainment live venue was OK. The two comedians were terrible but the Vil show was very funny and good the bar music, particularly the Hispanic group was excellent and the food was also

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.

GBWhat a poor way to treat customers What a poor way to treat customers. We booked a cruise and paid for the ultimate experience - the massive suite. A pretty penny. We paid upfront. The sign of a good customer. We have 3 other very large holidays with the Virgin group - significant monies. Then without warning I got a 15 second voice mail 2 weeks ago telling me my sailign had been cancelled and I would be refunded. No offer of a rebooking, any chance of getting that cabin size less than 10 months away from the desired sailing. Messages sent by me, absolutely rubbish responses, 'your travel agent will refund you' - I never booked with an agent I booked directly with Virgin! No refund, no offer of a rebook, no human contact, wondering whether Virgin have totally lost the plot.

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.
