There were several ups and downs. Ours was not a luxury experience. We were not on the transfer list for the prepaid ride from the airport to the hotel. Took a taxi and had to hagle with ship crew to get reimbursed. The hotel, Tahiti Pearl, was in a beautiful spot but I would put it on par with a Best Western with a view Embarkation was the worst I have ever experinced. We waited in ...

Finest cruise at sea turned in to finest Marketing at Sea. Cuisine was ok in main dining room and better in specialty restaurants but similar to NCL and Princess specialty venues. Princess has tge best pizza at sea is true! Certainly not above the others. I found my self looking for peanut sauce for chicken sauté, none! Making my own tartar sauce for fish from mayo and mustard. ...

We booked this cruise on Oceania as a repeat cruise for my special birthday, having done this exact same cruise 7 years ago, and loved it! We have enjoyed many cruises before, both ocean and river, with various cruise lines, and expected a wonderful time on this smaller, high end cruise line. Before I begin, positives were great food, mainly pleasant staff, wonderful library, comfortable ...

The time frame suited us and we wanted to try Virgin Voyages. Also wanted to escape the North Queensland heat for a little while. We tried for at least 2 weeks prior to boarding to book Restaurants but the VV App seemed clunky and didn't work well. If we could get availability the App would re-start before we could make a booking. Once on-board there was little to no availability left at the 6 ...

I saw a flash sale and decided to try it out. The restaurants were nearly all booked out when we went to book on the first day. We managed to book the Test Kitchen for an early dinner, Razzle Dazzle for breakfast two mornings and one dinner and another one on the last night at 9pm for dinner (too late but could not get a booking any other time). The gym was booked out also and my ...

We’ve cruised on this ship before from HK to Singapore a few years ago and had an excellent holiday. We can’t believe how poor the bar service was on this trip. Same in the dining room lack of bodies. I was left a feedback form from the Hotel Director Vlado, in fact completed two but no response so herein lies the problem. One day I counted 9 people awaiting service by the pool bar with one ...

+Ship is beautiful +Food is generally good in buffet and MDR +Fairly good availability of sun chairs +Quick embarkation and disembarkation +Great ports of call -Drink prices extremely high. USD 11 for a 33cl beer and USD 18 or 20 for a drink. And those drinks where horrible. Tasted a bit of bitter water without even a fruit or any kind of decoration to make it attractive in any way ...

EMBARKATION - Score: 1/10 Unfortnately our 6 night cruise on Dec 23, 2023 to Burnie, Hobart and back to Melbourne started off very badly due to a bizarre error by the Virgin staff working at embarkation area. We arrived an hour before our embarkation time and dropped off our luggage without any issues. Once 2.30PM hit, we were let through to the embarkation waiting area to get the required ...

We have cruised many times, and thought we would give Virgin Voyages a go. Let me start with the positives. The ship is amazing and has some fantastic spaces, including the Dock and Dockhouse and the rear deck on 15. Lots of spaces to escape. They have some of the best staff we have come across and they cannot do enough to help you. Embarkation was easy (as we had Blue Extras) so ...
