I loved it!!! Virgin likes to do things different and their cruises definitely are different- a good different. Overall everything was excellent- good food, good entertainment and a friendly, energetic crew. This was my second cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth as silk. We loved getting the champagne at the sail away party. For us, it was nice not having to dress up and eat in a ...
We chose the Oceania Vista because it was a smaller ship. The staff were so nice, friendly, and accommodating in every way. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were the biggest and nicest we have ever seen on a cruise ship and we have taken about 35 cruises.
The food was absolutely delicious! The only problem was the quality of meat at the specialty steakhouse. It was very tough and ...
We just got off the Icon of the Seas after it's 6th sailing. The ship is beautiful. Has so many wonderful things- but some negatives. Boarding was fast and easy- well organized- we entered Deck five- the promenade- it is spacious filled with many features of the Oasis class- but much wider and brighter- the Pearl is a beautiful structure on that level . Shops restaurants and so much to see. ...
We sailed out of Miami with our 3 teens on Spring Break. Embarkation was easy. We had 2 Oceanview cabins on deck 2 and were surprised at how modern, bright and clean they were. The beds were really comfy and our room attendant Rhea went above and beyond to make us feel at home. This ship may be older, but honestly, it was spotless and beautifully updated. We did not do any speciality dining and ...
Close to home, convenience. Florin, at Java Blue coffee was wonderful. He deserves a raise. No matter how long his lines were, he was always pleasant and ready to tell a joke. He also remembered names! Family did a great job keeping our rooms tidy and to bring whatever we needed or wanted. Lizzie, the Cruise Director, was super engaging and upbeat. She is a super find. The food is mediocre, but ...
We haven't sailed with Royal in almost 20 years and have been on 6 Carnival cruises in between those times. We had a very good time to say the least.
Miami was our port and we got thru security and onto the ship within 30 mins but I could see it taking an hour or more easily. The ship was laid out better than most of Carnivals ships, and its really easy to navigate. It felt more grand than ...
I read a lot of horror about msc and the magnifica and is it luxury, not at all; does it have flaws, of course, was it enjoyable, very. Have an open mind because not everything can and should be perfect
1. Embarkation- very easy, we embarked an hour before scheduled time and it was totally fine. Once on board you go straight to your room (if it is ready) and you get your key card and we were ...
First cruise in 25 yrs. Was surprisingly easy getting on and off the ship in Miami. Really liked the wrist fob that did everything for you. Room key, ID, credit card. No need to carry your wallet or key. Sea view terrace room was plenty big enough. Had a tablet to control tv, curtains. mood lighting. Staff through out the ship were super nice and friendly. Room was spotless every day. ...
Prior Princess cruiser for 25 cruises. Last cruise the food was bad. My second on Oceania . The food was excellent overall, especially the beef. Had the lobster several times and it was bad and small, even the supposed whole Maine Lobster in The Polo Grill.sometimes mushy like frozen and poorly defrosted , sometimes just bad taste. Avoid it. I will in the future. Go with The Dover Sole.

We just returned home from our Rivera Maya Voyage on Virgin's Scarlet Lady. This was my Partner and I's first experience sailing with Virgin, and the experience was great overall!! I think this cruise line will continue to make waves in the industry and I have a lot of appreciation for the way they stand out from other cruise lines. However, there were some aspects that did affect our experience ...
