Really nice cruise, although getting on a bit the ship was well maintained. The food was lovely the staff and service perfect. The internet was awful, the entertainment was Ok but on one occasion brilliant, The Spa is just usury a ridiculous quote of 249 dollars was offered for a deep tissue massage and 140 for my wife to have her nails done, this is just greed and I would avoid the spa on these ...
Just stepped off a 9 day Med cruise on MSC Splendida. This was my 11th cruise but my first with MSC and it will definitely be my last.
The positives; its not a bad looking ship, bars, resturaunts and theatre look attractive. Our balcony cabin, aft facing, was large and comfortable but that's about all I can say that's complimentary.
The negatives; the food was, for the most part, atrocious ...
We wanted to experience some Greek islands which we haven't visited before and with the late night stays in Santorini and Mykonos we went with Celestyal as the local experts. We had a week on Crete first before joining the ship (I didn't know you could join the cruise at ports other than Piraeus). The only problem here is that there is no one shore side to assist with your luggage until you are ...
Embarkment day was so so simple out of Athens. I sailed on Scarlet out of Miami in 2022 and knew I HAD to travel on Virgin. Once on board and settled in a bit I noticed a few crew engaging with the passengers in a playful, inviting, lively manner. Just as it was on Scarlet. Within hours the crew dispersed and never to be seen again. No pool side partying, no presence in lobby's, no excitement ...
The best cruise line, amazing food, helpful staff, varied entertainment, so many lovely venues, relaxed but fun atmosphere... what more could you ask for... oh i suppose the beautiful ports of call do add to the experience. Greek Island Glow definitely left me glowing. I highly recommend these beautiful ships and this unique cruising experience.
My only slight critique would be Santorini, its ...
First time Virgin Cruise, and I will never go on another cruise line. Everything is top notch and the entire staff is amazing. The boat was spotless! The food is great, I never felt like I was eating “cruise food”. We enjoyed each restaurant on the ship. We also were thrilled with the thermal spa experience that was included in the touch of romance package. There was always some kind of ...
We returned yesterday from this cruise on which we experienced both positive and negative issues.
Positives - amazing crew, always smiling and helpful, and working so hard. Given demands and capacity, service and the food was great - varied and fresh in Garden Café, main dining rooms and especially good in Le Bistro. Cabin was kept very clean and shower room bigger than on some competing ...
I had heard several good things about Virgin
The length of days was perfect & the ship size was what we were looking for generally
Going to all the spots that I wanted to see..
No dinner times & dress code was perfect for us…
It surely didn’t disappoint , We loved it & our person who took care of everything for us was terrific.. Her name was Karina so be sure to give a shout out to ...
Resilient Lady caught our attention due to the different cruise experience it seemed to offer. We were not disappointed. A truly modern and spacious ship with well trained courteous staff and a truly multi cultural and diverse representation of passengers. Excellent food,ambience and entertainment throughout.
We enjoyed the style of pools to relax & socialise in rather than conventional ...
I loved the staff, the service and honestly the maintenance of the ship is overall very good. I would give them 4.5 to 5 stars in most cases. The ship however is old from the perspective of activities and value.
Activities are very limited compared to other vessels both in terms of physical offerings such as recreational opportunities but also in terms of creativity. Other ships have mini ...
