My wife and I were looking for a quick getaway for our honeymoon and we were attracted by the +18 policy Virgin has. From when we got on the ship we knew this cruise was going to be unlike any other cruise we've ever been on and we were right. The staff was best we've ever had on a cruise, the ship was in amazing condition, and the food was delicious.
I will say, make sure you pack pajamas and ...
My mother, sister and I take a mother daughter trip about once a year. We have cruised on Norweigan, Carnival, Royal Carribean and Princess Cruise Lines. Virgin Voyages is in a class of its own!! This was the best vacation we have ever had !!! The Scarlet Lady is beautifully decorated, clean, and well maintanined. We appreciated that Virgin Voyages, has NO BUFFETS!!! Each restaurant has its ...
We had the time of our lives and was so very sad to have to return home after receiving that 5-star experience all the way. We made new friends, experienced things we would've never had the opportunity to if we chose a land tour, and it almost seemed like there was so much to do on board that you almost needed more time but amazingly, we were able to plan in everything we wanted to. The shows were ...
My wife and I are just back from a cruise on the Scarlet Lady. Of our 36 cruises, this was the first time on Virgin Voyages, so I thought I would post a list of cruise line “accomplishments and opportunities” (versus pros and cons).
Accomplishments
• The food really is a step above. We ate at 5 of the 6 main restaurants (skipped the Test Kitchen), and each one paid incredible attention to ...
This was our 18th Princess cruise, our last one being on Regal five years ago. We traveled in a Club Class mini-suite on deck 14. Here are some brief observations:
1. Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale: Easy-peasy. We drove to the port, dropped off our luggage at curbside, parked in the Heron garage, and were checked in without any trouble at all. Using the Medallion along with facial ...
I’ve been on over 13 cruises Carnival is the most that I’ve been on. I’ve been on Norwegian royal Caribbean carnival, but I’m looking to go on another cruise for next year again. So I’m looking for a new adventure. I enjoyed the cruise this time after Covid. I’ve noticed a lot of things have changed for the better. The signing up for the breakfast through the phone waiting on your table for the ...
We are avid cruisers and have been on just about every other line. We enjoy many aspects of cruising but we found Virgin Voyages to be refreshingly different and a surprise. Valiant Lady represented our 110th cruise in 35 years and it was one of a kind for us. We LOVED that there were no kids, don't dislike kids and have cruised with our nieces/nephew's on occasion but on Valiant Lady (VL) we ...
Our cruise included 6 adults, 4 of witch are seniors, and 3 children, ages 6,12,15. We had an early check-in and were on the ship around 10:30. The room would be available around 2:00. The pools were available, the water slides opened at 12:00, and food was available at several places. We picked this cruise ship for a couple reasons, first activities for the kids, 2 water slides, one for young ...
This is our third trip on the Escape. We had a group of 10 with four of them being teenagers. Getting on the boat was super easy. We left from port Canaveral. We stood in line for a quick few minutes and then got registered. Once we got registered we waited about 30-40 minutes to board the ship. (We always arrive early to board so we know we'll have to wait).
The boat has showed it's age a ...
I had sailed on the Valiant Lady for my first ever cruise. I was a little worried about the ship being over crowded because my cabin steward had said that there were 2,200 on the ship for the week with only 25 or so cabins unsold. However I was pleasantly surprised because despite there being so many people the public spaces still had plenty of seating and service at the bars and restaurants were ...
