My wife convinced me 2 years ago to book a 7 day cruise with p&o on Iona to the Norwegian Fjords. Well i loved it and have had the cruise bug ever since.
So once we came back i knew we had to go on another one. My wife likes to watch Cruise 1st TV, she found a great deal for the new Virgin Voyages ship Resilient Lady. This cruise was a repositioning cruise from Athens to Dubai with a 2 night ...
This was our second cruise with Virgin Voyages. What we most love about Virgin cruise :
1. Adults only
2. No pesky photographers
3. The restaurants and quality of the food served.
4. Free ice cream
5. No beverage packages
What can be improved:
1. Embarkation process in Athens. It was quite chaotic, having to queue in the sun and delay in boarding.
2. Providing early ...
We just finished our Virgin Voyages Adriatic Seas and Greek Gems cruise on the Resilient Lady and had an amazing experience. We have traveled on Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity and none of these cruise lines compare to what Virgin offers with their ships. The food is great and there is a wonderful selection. The ship crew did great job in making you feel welcome and offer an ...
Good food-several restaurants with different cuisine. We had pizza late every night. Discover all of the eateries. Some are hidden (poke place) if you don’t check out the entire ship.
Great service-cabin steward was very attentive and quick with the couple requests we had.
Plenty of activities-didn’t make it to everything but the parties and shows we attended were definitely worth it. I ...
My wife and I were just on the Resilient lady for the Adriatic Sea and Greek Gems cruise a couple of weeks ago. It was so much more than we bargained for in a good way. Everything from the staff, food, entertainment, onboard activities, and ports of call were all great.
This was our first Virgin Voyage but we are already planning another. We took advantage of the onboard sign up special which ...
We won a free cruise giveaway from the show called The View in December of 2022. The cruise was great with the exception of noise that was coming from the floor above us. We were on the 14th floor on the Z side. During the night there was a banging type noise and we were told that it was coming from the Gym upstairs. The noise woke us up during the night. We were given another room on the 10th ...
This cruise line has the BEST service so far. All the crew is amazing, doing their best to enhance the traveller’s experience. The room was spacious, the ship itself is very well designed and the space is used wisely. It is also very clean everywhere. The quality of food is also AMAZING, from sushi bento boxes to All day Breakfast everything is at your disposal, tasty and fresh. The fact that you ...
My husband and I have sailed (sometimes with kids, most recently without) on Norwegian several times over the last 20 years. We were happy with Norwegian and had no real plans to try another line. We sailed on the Prima last March and looked for another itinerary for our 40th anniversary in October. We were back and forth, not really finding what we wanted enough to commit, when I saw an ...
Flew to Athens, Greece. Spent 3 nights sight seeing. Boarded the ship. Embarkment was easy and quick. Had a great lunch in the Windjammer buffet. Food choices were plentiful and delicious. Cabins were ready at 1pm. Luggage arrived between 2-4pm.
We were in an outside cabin with a large window. Cabin was very comfortable and steward ( Henrik) was friendly and efficient.
Main dining room ...
The boat is incredible and the food delicious.
I wasn’t so impressed with the Italian restaurant (very Olive Garden-like) but the rest of the cuisine was very, very good. The Korean barbecue was delicious and you sat with other couples from the ship and got to meet people. The steak and seafood restaurant was my favorite. The steak was comparable to Ruth’s Chris steakhouse and the lamb chops ...
