Review summary

Virgin Voyages are completely different than traditional cruises and I am addicted to them. The vibe on their ships is about inclusivity and it shows.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and painless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Some venues are better than others, but it all comes down to preference. Razzle Dazzle for breakfast is my favorite.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
spa, massage, trivia games, seahorse race

Entertainment

We upgraded to a rock star suite. Everything was literally perfect.

Ship tip

Let yourself just be and go with the flow. If you feel like partying all night, then do it. If you feel like just swinging in the hammock on your balcony the whole time, just do it. No judgments.

Ports of call

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Go early or stay a few days after the cruise. Athens is such a cool city!

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
It was beautiful but WAY too crowded and long lines for the cable cars to get up and down the mountain. If you choose to take the steps up or down (we took them down), you will have to dodge the donkeys and everything that they leave behind. It's actually really sad watching them being forced to carry people up and down that mountain all day. We did an excursion in the morning: volcano hike and hot springs.

Rhodes, Greece

4 out of 5
We rented a car to get out and see more of the island, which is beautiful. The village that is near the port is very touristy.

Bodrum, Turkey

5 out of 5
My favorite port. It's a great area. We did a tour from Virgin that took us all over, called Bodrum hills and beautiful views. I definitely recommend.

Mykonos, Greece

4 out of 5
We rented a car on the first day to get out and visit a winery and do some cheese tasting before dropping the car off and walking around Mykonos town. It's another very touristy place that's expensive, but still beautiful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We literally just walked off the ship. Virgin has it down with embarkations and disembarkations!
