Miami to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Chose this cruise because if the ports of call. We were promised a unobstructed balcony view, we did not get that, they did not change our room, even though the ship was not full. The staff continually lie to you, they are rude and arrogant. The food was mediocre, at best. The fact that all of the meat we ate throughout our cruise was tough and dry. Nothing was prepared fresh, even the eggs were ...

We needed a transatlantic ride to the Greek Islands, where we disembarked. Cabin care was excellent. The steward worked 24/7, which indicates low staffing. Fixed time dining service was excellent. The wait staff were in rapid motion all evening, again low staffing. Breakfast and lunch in the dining room was quite poor. The staff seemed to have little knowledge of American and British ...

2nd Virgin cruise, 1st last year in Rockstar quarters, 2nd now on a transatlantic inside cabin. I’ve read a lot of reviews reference the ship, crew, facilities and entertainment and to be honest all of them make valid points. Objectively there are a lot of plus points, subjectively it’s about whether the product suits you as an individual. We didn’t like the incessant EDM (electronic dance music) ...

My wife and I were celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary and decided to do a TransAtlantic Cruise with Virgin Voyages out of Miami to Barcelona. In addition to that cruise, we decided to stay on board for the 7-day Mediterranean cruise. We heard nothing but good things about Virgin Voyages so we decided to go all in on this back-to-back cruise experience. We are experienced cruisers with over ...

After taking our first Virgin Voyages cruise, we recommend it. We took the Valiant Lady on a 15 day cruise from Miami to Barcelona. We usually cruise on Princess and Celebrity. On boarding we were greeted by a female crew member in a skimpy red dress and another in a red sequined gown, who personified the line's hip attitude. The ship has a tattoo parlor. Bingo is led by a drag queen. They ...

First things first. Husband is 70, I’m 62. 68 cruises on various cruise lines. We have been sailing since the 80’s. We have been on 9 cruises since the restart. Most have been disappointing. Food quality and service has definitely gone downhill. I will say we enjoyed Celebrity, Royal and Carnival not so much. People on these cruises raved about how much they enjoyed Virgin. We were hesitant to ...

I am going to leave a very detailed review because I think people deserve to know what they are getting before they book this cruise line. We were taking a 15 day transatlantic cruise, our first time with virgin. Embarkation: they had me book a time in the app, 2:15 was my time so I planned my day around that. I get a notification the day before that they need more time and need to push it ...

I am currently voyaging on the Valiant Lady’s transatlantic crossing to Barcelona. It’s a comfortable, stylish ship. The food, as you may have heard, is in fact very good. The staff is kind and considerate. My cabin is comfortable. The problem is the promise of “free exercise classes” and “great shows”. The venues for both of these is so small, and there are so few of them offered daily, that ...

We selected this cruise because I wanted to go across the Atlantic one more time; however, as a civilian. I have several transatlantic crossings under my belt as a USN sailor. This particular cruise had several stops, as some do not. This made my wife happy. We also got a very good price by booking about two years in advance. The food was great. The entertainment was better than average. Having ...

Took our first Regent cruise (a TA, lots of sea days), earlier this month. Just returned this past week. It was a 14-day cruise. Overall, it was very good. Embarkation was less chaotic than most, but still chaotic. We were advised prior to our cruise that the original embarkation time we had been given had been pushed back by an hour and a half because the Coast Guard had to inspect the ship. No ...
