Review summary

Cons: Problems with app, massage price were steep and I felt that it should include use of the spa for the day or at least a few hours. I had an excellent massage but unfortunately the experience was hampered by the fact that the therapist spoke through out the entire time I was there. I could not relax and enjoy her excellent work. There was one guy in the gym on our first morning there who we asked about where we can find water. He did not once take his eyes off of his phone to even acknowledge that we were speaking to him. Poor customer service on his part, but thankfully an isolated incident. All other staff we met were wonderful and helpful. Pros: Room attendants were outstanding. The food/drinks is the highlight of this ship for me. Healthy, clean eating, yet delicious options. So many options. Entertainment was different but very enjoyable. Found lots of activities to keep us busy. We were never bored. The ship is gorgeous and very easy. The bartenders, entertainment staff, and blues singer were fantastic. You can make this cruise whatever you choose...romantic, partying, quie, relaxing lounging, etc.....it all exist in this one ship. You must visit Bimini. My favorite island by far. I loved every aspect of it. Also there are plenty of seating and food is great. I love that they had food available well into the evening. We left around 5pm so I am not sure for how long it lasts. Truly appreciated the late night snacks: popcorn. Staying active is very easy and fun on this ship. Exceptional gym/VHS class. Never saw anyone use outdoor gym equipment though. Love that the loot (tab) can be used for more than just the bar and specialty coffee/juices. It helped offset the cost for the final bill for us. Especially since we invested in upgrading internet for streaming. As well as splurged on spa services. I do wish that I could have had access to the specialty drinks that I only found at the wake and test kitchen at other bars in the ship. The cocktails there were my favorites. Room attendants immediate oriented us to room and were available to answer questions. The ship was not at capacity so we had no issues seeing all the shows that we wanted. Four days was not enough time to sample all the great food. My husband truly appreciated the fact that they broadcasted a football game that he had really wanted to see on our tv in our room. Thank you to the staff that gave us that tidbit of information. Be mindful that a staff might invite you to a secret party.... so take advantage:) Wish: Would like a comedy show. I worry if there be sufficient space/time slots for everyone to see the shows (they are outstanding). Recommend: People should keep reading reviews, Virgin Voyages appears to be making constant changes to improve guests' experience. For instance my embarkation, testing and disembarkation was a breeze. The fastest/easiest experience I ever had on a cruise ship. The app has sooo much information on it that helped guide us. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this ship and are planning to return in 2022. Loved it.
