Virgin Voyages Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

This was my 40th cruise, my partner’s 43rd, and our first with Virgin. I’m in my early 50’s, he’s in his early 60’s. It was a passage from Barcelona to Miami. Our first impression was not a good one. It took us 2.5 hours to get onboard from our arrival at the BCN terminal, the longest ever for us, and all of it because we were made to wait unnecessarily till our 14:00 slot time, even though ...

We chose Virgin specifically for the transatlantic cruise. The value seemed outstanding for the 15-day journey. All of the specialty restaurants were included where other cruise lines charge a premium. The galley provided a variety of food options still served by the staff, not just a buffet. And if you didn’t want to get up to choose, table service was provided. The ship spaces, events and ...

VIRGIN VOYAGE REVIEW The last cruise I took was a 14-day Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona to Istanbul in 1995 (23 years ago). Therefore, given the huge changes in the cruise industry with a new ship being built that will carry 10,000 passengers I would clearly classify myself as a newbie. Virgin Voyages is a relatively new cruise line started by Richard Branson. It currently has three ...

We sailed 3 legs from Athens to Sydney over 44 days and we could not fault anything about this ship. So much so even after so long we did not want to get off. The inclusions were great which included fresh buttered popcorn, tapas on back deck which include bbq prawns and octopus, peanut brittle and many different lollies, gelato ice cream and all soft drink and juices. All restaurants were ...

This was our second cruise with Virgin Voyages. What we most love about Virgin cruise : 1. Adults only 2. No pesky photographers 3. The restaurants and quality of the food served. 4. Free ice cream 5. No beverage packages What can be improved: 1. Embarkation process in Athens. It was quite chaotic, having to queue in the sun and delay in boarding. 2. Providing early ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
