First and foremost, I chose this cruise because I found an amazing deal. Knowing what I know now, I'd go again if I could find that deal again. I would not pay Virgin's rack rate, as I don't see the value. Also, I now know my wife and I are not the target demographic. I believe Virgin's audience is younger party people. ie. Carnival cruisers with money. We are retired and 72 / 67. So, with ...
We chose Carnival Conquest for our 1st cruise bc we wanted a short trip to be sure we liked it. We loved it! The food was fabulous. I never had to eat at the buffet! Burgers were so good! Pizza at 9:30 was delicous! The Monet Dinning hall was gorgeous and a different menu with a 3 course food options included in our price! Everyevening we had entertainment and great servers. We sat with 3 ...
As a frequent cruiser I was excited to do an adult only cruise. Definitely unique for the cruise industry. First impression for me was not favorable but as cruise went on I found my comfort spots to enjoy the cruise. Let me touch on the positives then I will share my issues. Loved adult only. Loved the multiple dining options - two made my list as worth doing again on another Virgin Cruise if ...
We wanted to try Virgins Rockstar suites as we typically sail in the Haven on NCL. Virgin has so many innovative things we appreciated: the galley as we hate buffets with all the waste and general uncleanliness, disembarkation on Virgin is a breeze, no noisy announcements or herds of people trying to get off the ship. Just be off by 10:30, that’s it! We also loved the diverse crew and the overall ...
Usually I do not write reviews, but after reading some of the negative reviews on this site I decided it would be best.
1st off please remember this is a mid size ship and not one of the largest/newer and HIGHER PRICED SHIPS in the Royal Fleet. My wife and I (ages 48 and 50) went on a 4 night cruise with the drink package for under $3K including our flight.
We have been on over 10 cruises ...
It took me a while, but here is my review of our recent journey on Virgin Voyages Scarlet lady.
TL;DR: This will be a bit of a sandwich review because it started off slightly negative, then was amazing, then ended on a negative note. However, we did make the deposit to book a future voyage, so definitely willing to give it another shot. For context, we have sailed previously on Celebrity, ...
We had wanted to take an oasis class for a very long time, and a year ago, some friend suggested we take this cruise to the eastern Caribbean. After having a previous eastern Caribbean cruise taken out from under me, due to a hurricane, we chose this cruise with the idea that the itineraries would remain the same – yes we know it was hurricane season, but we took a chance. two days before ...
Birthday cruise for my nephew. Alighting and deboarding processes were really efficient. Housekeeping was excellent. Very clean around the ship. The safety checkin was a fiasco because our muster area was blocked by maintenance crews grinding and soldering beams (was the ship broken??). Great food. Drink and coffee bar hosts were spectaclar. Cruise Director rather hokey. Pools crowded and noisy ...
Enjoyed the cruise, i was a little skeptical at first but the staff were pleasant food was good except that virgin restaurant. It just wasn’t good. Entertainment can be a little better as far as the shows were enjoyable. The music however at the sail away and clubs etc could be a little more diverse. I mean how can you party with no line dance to say the least. The music was not diverse and i feel ...
Our first couple cruises were on Disney and this was our first one back on Disney after trying several other lines for a few years. Disney is really good but I am still not certain they are worth the premium unless you have small children who will appreciate the characters. I have very few complaints but I miss some of the things that other cruise lines offer.
Embarkation: This was the easiest ...
