Miami to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

A bit about me for context, while still a relative newbie to cruising, I have 30 voyages under my belt, with 7 different lines. I am not loyal to any particular line/brand. I love trying new things. I find that most cruise lines are more alike than different fundamentally, but each line has a different "feel". For me, Virgin is not an exception to this, though they try really, really hard to ...

Random thoughts from the cruise:   - The Virgin Voyages App stopped working around 24 hours prior to sailing. We stayed at the Intercontinental across from the port and tried to lookup our boarding time at dinner the night before but the app failed to connect. We asked Virgin about it and they said it was expected. So we just showed up at 2pm when general boarding started with no ...

After almost 2 years of waiting, the wait was finally over! I was more then looking forward to setting sail with Virgin on the Brand New ( 2 Year Old ) Scarlet Lady. Have first to do through the COVID testing, which really was a breeze and left me feeling even more confident, I was finally welcomed aboard. With Virgin doing things differently to any other cruise ship, you could board the ...

We are a couple in our 70’s and have cruised many times but never on MSC. We didn’t go expecting too much but were very pleasantly surprised. The ship was only about 1/3rd full and the service was excellent. The staff was terrific. The shows were very good. The ship was beautiful. We had an ocean view balcony cabin off the rear of the ship. It was a long walk to the elevators so I do not ...

My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary and decided to take a Virgin Voyages cruise. I love the Virgin brand. I fly to London once a year and always fly Virgin Atlantic because of their service and quality so I expected the same from their cruise line. They did not disappoint. The ship is beautiful. We had a central balcony room with a hammock on the balcony. The high tech ambient ...

Nice ship. Super clean. Awesome staff. Excellent food! I stayed in a middle cabin Single. A little small for me as I’m 6’4. No big deal. My only issue was the internet and the virgin voyages app. The app, in my experience, is not user friendly and was frequently down. It was hard to navigate and it didn’t highlight activities for the day, so unless I knew what was going on by asking someone, I ...

We were excited for this cruise ship to finally start cruising. Once we had a chance to to book a trip we did. Now, this may have been too much anticipation, but overall I was let down by the total experince. Let's start with the booking and online experiences. They were really poor, and were not fixed before we took the cruise. We found this really frustrating for a tech forward line like Virgin, ...

Every restaurant had the greatest menu, greatest chefs and amazing flavors!!! I would highly recommend the Gnocchi from Extra Virgin, French Toast in the Galley, Omelettes from Diner & Dash by chef Cayle ;) , the churros in Razzle Dazzle, everything in Gunbae, shout out to Forida and Wanipa, Pink Agave, and you must absolutely have the best dessert on the ship, the chocolate Scarlet Lady!!! The ...

This was our first Cruise and we wanted one with no kids. We have no kids of our own and didn't want to deal with other people's kids. The cruise was very relaxing and the food was amazing.Our favorite restaurant was Extra Virgin. Great experience and explanation of the food. Our second favorite was Pink Agave. The food had a great twist and the dessert was amazing. Everything we had was unique ...

Frankly, I chose this cruise mainly because of the Richard Branson name and brand. I was very excited about being aboard a new ship and the innovations described about the ship, eateries and entertainment venues. Full disclosure: my husband and I are not experienced cruisers. We have only been on one other cruise. So, our experience is limited. Firstly, the ship is beautiful! I love the ...
