Review summary

I would enjoy doing this cruise again. I'm sure we will do it again at some point. For me the only draw back is the distance to Miami when we live a few minutes from Port Canaveral and the terminal I find more convenient. No kids is a nice change from what we normally experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation went very smoothly. We had a 130 arrival time and after sitting in the waiting room a few minutes we were boarded by 2.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We thought the food was great wherever we ate.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We spent the day at the pool on the final day which was a sea day. The weather was great and everyone had a lot of fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Didn't actually go to a show, but the pajama party and the Scarlet Nights party were both a lot of fun with crew members keeping the energy level high.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The crew was always helpful and smiling.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
They called it a Sea Terrace cabin which had a balcony. It was great. Liked how the tablet controled the lights, curtains, cabin temperature, and tv. Plenty big enough for 2. We were really only in there to change clothes and sleep.

Ship tip

We were afraid the 300 dollar bar tab with the 100 bonus they gave us wouldn't be enough, but it was more than enough. The drinks are cheaper on Virgin than other lines generally charge. The last day most people were buying other people drinks at the pool and various bars because we all had plenty of extra money left on our bar tabs.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
We love Key West. We spend a couple weeks a year there and have a great time whenever we go. To me, it's fun to get off the ship and spend the day wandering around Duvall Street.

The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas

5 out of 5
Even though it wasn't perfect weather on the day we were there, it was still fun. Some clouds, a little rain, and quite windy but it didn't matter to us. We spent the whole day there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smoothest disembarkation I've ever seen. We ate breakfast and then took an elevator to deck 7 at 8am expecting to see long lines and crowds but we were the only ones there. We walked off the ship carrying our bags and were in our car in minutes.
