Review summary

May was a great time to visit Greece; the crowds were manageable and the weather was great. Virgin did an excellent job of making this a bucket list trip!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation on to the Resilient Lady was extremely smooth and timely. Our embarkation was scheduled and from arriving at port to boarding the cruise ship each step of the way was meticulously planned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining options were excellent and varied; and the service and food was always delicious!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
there was much to choose from and since this cruise was only a 7-day with great daily excursions, I was only able to fit in a relaxing day around the pool. Plenty of seating and accessible towels. Bar servers were always available too!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
we enjoyed several of the musical events on board, along with TittiKakaa's performance which was great! The musicians were varied in genre and all were excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was very pleasant and helpful- introducing himself soon after arriving at our room. All waiters and ship personnel always pleasant and helpful, obviously enjoying their jobs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was the maiden voyage that we were on and the ship was immaculate, and very comfy.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
the cabin was well laid out. we had the beds divided into two twins which gave us plenty of room to walk around. I found the bed to be a bit hard for my preference but I slept great every night. The bathroom was well designed, and the shower was great.

Be ready for fun!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again, I had concerns as we had a noon time flight; however it was the smoothest disembarkation, very well planned out. We took the shuttle bus arranged by Virgin and it couldn't have been easier. we were out of our room and off the ship within 15 minutes, then picked up our bags and headed to the shuttle bus. Smooth and simple and well coordinated by Virgin staff.
