This is really a mixed review. Overall the food was very good. Pink Agave and Gunbae were exceptional. The Test Kitchen was a disaster and the food was not good. The Wake was good, but not great. and the Italian food in Extra Virgin was mostly very good. We only ate breakfast in The Galley, but most of what we tried was very good.
The staff throughout the ship was exceptional. Tips are ...
We booked this trip because we were looking for a short cruise to the Caribbean and heard good reviews about the food. The food was a huge disappointment. If pork cheek, pork belly, not thoroughly cooked chicken and a minuscule selection of vegetables is your idea of good food then this is the cruise for you. Breakfast far surpassed anything we were served for dinner. Virgin boasts 20+ Michelin ...
Our first cruise, and it did not disappoint. The service and food are both outstanding. Everything was convenient and the atmosphere is very relaxed. People are friendly. There are lots of things to do, or places to hang out and do nothing. The bars are great and prices are reasonable. We enjoyed Pink Agave and the Test Kitchen. Brunch at the Wake was also very good. The pastries and baked goods ...
My 10th cruise on 5 different lines; my 2nd time on Scarlet Lady. Last time I splurged on a suite on < 30% capacity sailing. This time, I got a sea terrace with lovely balcony and adequate room space but teeny, tiny bathroom. The biggest difference in my overall experience between last time and now: ship capacity was > 80% full. It is a gorgeous, modern ship. I like the technology - in-room ipad ...
Great cruise. Entertaining, great food, upscale amenities, and very friendly staff. This was our first cruise and we talked about how we are going to be spoiled for future cruises. Perfect for couples and very social atmosphere. The weather was perfect for us and we found time to relax and enjoys the peaceful atmosphere. We stopped in Grand Turks and Bimini which were both beautiful islands to ...
This was our third cruise with Virgin Voyages. We've had two on Scarlet Lady and this was our first on Valiant. It will not be our last.
The ship is beautiful, easy to get around, and we love the smaller venues. It never feels like you are on a huge ship. The crew is outstanding. They work so hard and it pays off for sailors in big ways. The shows are fun, the food is great, and the inclusive ...
Now look-I am not an inexperienced cruiser – this is now my 16th cruise in the past eight years. But I’ve cruised enough to know what I like and what I don’t like. Lady is a bit of a mixed bag, and here’s why:
Embarkation- this was really messy and left a bad first impression – we arrived about an hour and a half before our scheduled embarkation time. That’s not unusual – when you arrive in ...
Virgin Voyages has made me a believer in cruising again. Usually I'm ready to go home after 2 days on the ship. My experiences with Virgin has made me reconsider. This was my second voyage with this company. This time I came on through the family plan. That was the worst part of the trip because they waited until the last minute to tell me that my request was granted. When I say last minute, it ...
I was on the March 16-23, 2024 Southern Caribbean Cruise with the Atlantis Events charter group. I'll try to sum up best I can:
1) The Ship: Designed for Instagram, not for comfort. From the torturous metal furniture to the rock-hard cabin beds to Deck 16 -- half of which is cluttered with hideous private cabanas that obscure all views of the sea -- to the ridiculously tiny pool to the lack of ...
This was my second cruise on Virgin. I previously cruised Scarlet Lady July 2023 and was blown away. The cabin, the crew, it was a perfect trip.
I didn't take advantage of the future booking deal onboard that cruise and regretted it immediately. I was delighted when they sent a post cruise offer, not as good but still something. I purchased and booked this cruise immediately. Unfortunately, it ...
