I chose this cruise because it was advertised as an 80s extravaganza. Yes the bands were great but only 3 hours out of an 11 day cruise, definitely not good enough. No other effort was made by the cruise company or the alleged charter company. It took 4 days before eighties music was being piped through certain areas of the ship. The daytime entertainment was great if you enjoyed yoga, working out ...
From day one this maiden voyage was cursed. Imagine cruises promised us an "extravaganza" of 80"s music. Joke! We were told IC had chartered the ship and therefore it is IC I held responsible for everything musically and entertainment wise. We paid them for this farce of a cruise. We had 3 days of 1 hour each shows out of 11 days. After that nothing, zilch. We were all bored shi.less.
We didn't ...
Absolutely terrible cruise from start to finish. Dreadful food, poor quality, most meals were cold, poor service, ran out of foods & drink. Lost 2 port visits. Lack of toilets. No WiFi, sailor App not working. TVs weren’t working everyday. Shambolic disembarkation, 90 minutes queueing major crowd congestion 100’s of passengers now have covid no social distancing, the covid outbreak was kept ...
Things started off badly when VirginVoyages got my name wrong on the booking - even though Imagine Cruising gave them all the correct details. I then had problems with the app that took over 4 weeks for VV I.T. guys to sort out. Fortunately it was sorted out before boarding as everything needs to be done via the app! App was very glitchy throughout the cruise. Piped music too loud in most areas of ...
Virgin Voyages want to be different from all other cruise lines and they have succeeded. Unfortunately for them they are different in a negative way in almost all areas.
To avoid having a buffet, they have The Galley which is similar to a buffet but you give your order to a waiter and they bring it to you. Seems reasonable you would think but everything comes to you and your party at different ...
Cruise was out of this world, so many different experiences so many different tastes. All the restaurants served 5 Star food and the attention to detail by the staff was first class. We sailed on Scarlett and now Valiant and can’t fault a thing. Entertainment was just what we were looking for, unusual with a twist of wacky and again couldn’t fault it.
We danced until the early hours then came ...
We have never cruised before & saw this Virgin cruise on the Valiant Lady going from Portsmouth. Good music on board, convenience of Portsmouth, we were sold. What a ship, very modern, fab roomy cabin, staff super helpful, food outstanding. Spotlessly clean public areas, loads of different areas to explore. We like to relax on holiday, we aren’t too formal & this cruise does it for us. So many ...
We have cruised many times (12) using different companies and have loved them all, except this one. We were excited to cruise again and looking forward to visiting Madeira, La Coruna, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and spending two days in Lisbon. Madeira was cancelled before sailing, unfortunately we had a medical emergency resulting in a late evening sail into Lisbon and the second day in Lisbon just ...
I was so looking forward to the maiden 11 day voyage on this new ship setting sail from Portsmouth to Spain,Portugal and Lisbon. . Virgin offered a new cruising experience and we certainly had that.
Prior to arriving for the cruise, the virgin voyages app is used as your countdown and planner. This should enable you to book meals in advance and see what's happening. This app is not fit for ...
So looking forward to my first cruise in 13 years. Chose this ship as adults only.
Before we even sailed had trouble with the app…ended up ringing and speaking to Roxanne who did her best.
Port arrival was haphazard….not well organised.Bands were a nightmare, always falling off unless you had super tight they left a mark.
Waited till 21.15 for my partners suitcase. So he was in the ...
