Review summary

An adults only cruise is intriguing. But the passengers on this boat made it unpleasant

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Issues with the testing process that kept time on the boat from being enjoyed. A lot of that was because you couldn’t get wifi service in the terminal to get results

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Without question, the best food I’ve ever experienced in on ship, in any fleet, hands down. The test kitchen was the single best dining experience I’ve ever had on a cruise ship and every venues food was impeccable.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Conversely to the food, the absolute worst entertainment at sea. One show was worse than the next. The pop up entertainment was a joke.

Ship tip

You need to be intrigued and willing to engage in risqué behavior. And so does your partner. If you don’t have that… don’t cruise Virgin

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. I’ve seen other postings about not having a good experience cruising on Virgin. Sounds like it’s more oriented to a younger crowd. You’ve helped make up my mind that it wouldn’t be something we’d enjoy.

I think Carnival is about as risqué as I can handle.
