Just finished a back-to-back cruise - Mayan Sol and Fire & Sunsets (9 days total). Great experience all the way around. Second time cruising on Virgin and they are simply the best all the way around. Cabin is perfect and worth the modest upgrade. Public spaces are exceptional along with the entertainment. Food and service is extraordinary. All of the staff seems to truly love working on a Virgin ...
Embarking on a recent voyage aboard the Norwegian Escape, I was eager to explore the luxurious amenities and exceptional service promised by this renowned cruise line. While the overall experience offered a blend of positive and negative aspects, I would like to provide a comprehensive review that highlights both the remarkable features and areas for improvement on this particular journey.

We really had high hopes for this cruise. Now I must say, we usually cruise on Carnival (4 times) and once on Royal Caribbean. I'm not sure what the objective is but everything just seemed lacking. I love cruising...and it's the only way we love to vacation. But it seemed on Virgin Voyages, there are a lot places constantly closed on this ship. At one point we were on deck 5 playing a nice ...
As someone who worked in travel and the cruise industry, Norwegian always stuck out as the best and the innovator in cruising. Years ago, I sailed on the Norway (best ship ever) and the Sunward. This was our first Norwegian cruise in 22 years. We have sailed Royal and Princess several times in the past few years.
We chose to book our own flights and transfers which saved a lot of money but ...
We were VERY skeptical when it came to booking a cruise with MSC. We had heard all about the shows being short and lacking depth, the food being substandard, and the service or lack there of being a major issue. Quite honestly our lowest expectations were for the theater shows, which really soared above the rest of the ships entertainment. The theater team has shied away from interpretive dance ...
This was our first time on VV cruises. Our cabin was very modern and tech savvy. We really loved having a balcony and the hammock was so relaxing! We consider ourselves foodies and really appreciated the tasteful and creative portion sizes of the meals and the fabulous presentations. All the restaurants were great. Gunbae could have used some spicer sauce options. The entertainment onboard was ...
Voyages Scarlet Lady I had the best time ever!!! Of the 4 of us that went on this cruise it was 3 of our first cruise and all 4 of us loved it!!!
The staff was amazing and offered such great service!! Riggs and Asiana at The Athletic Club Bar have to be my two standouts for amazing service for the whole trip!! They remembered my name without having to scan my bracelet and also what drinks I ...
We loved everything! The food was fantastic, the shows were tasteful and entertaining. We enjoyed the kids-free environment (we left ours at home!), and the ability to have a special experience as a couple. The ship was booked completely and did not feel crowded at all, there was always places on the ship that had places to relax and enjoy. The ship was clean, and very well decorated. The rooms ...
What an amazing ship! Plenty of activities to chose from. The shows each night were super fun and you could see the talent. You could chose from trivia to karaoke and anything in between. The staff were super friendly and treated us like royalty and some of the places we went to the staff would call you by first name. The excursions were fun. The places where we stopped had so much to do and we ...
This was my first ever cruise and my experience on Virgin set the bar pretty high for any future trips. We chose the 5 day cruise to Costa Maya & Bimini on the Scarlet Lady and we had such a great time that we have already booked another 8 day cruise for next year!
First things first, adults only is the best way to cruise if your not bringing your own little ones. No kids running around ...
