Review summary

Very nice cruise and great experience. I would travel with Virgin again but I do see room for improvement as mentioned in my review.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Too crowded and we were asked to wait in very hot tents. They did provide water but the experience was not the greatest.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I liked the way the Virgin has full service dining rooms and even the food court can be full service. I also like the no buffet idea and feel safe. I did not like the fact that we had to book restaurants before cruising which made it unpleasant and stressful. Also we learned that we were happy we did, because once we were onboard, it was very difficult to get a reservation you really wanted.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did not participate that much but I know they were available.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Whatever we saw was very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Plenty of staff and very attentive

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very clean. I would say design is great but very tight at pool and hard to find chairs in the shade. Lots of focus on rockstar status which takes up a significant part of the ship surface.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean and comfortable
