Review summary

We are officially hooked on Virgin! It’s truly a game changer. Try everything and have the best time!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We sailed when Virgin was still doing testing. It was complimentary, which was awesome! We were tested and through security within 30 min. The worst part was being done with all that by 11:30 am and having to wait until 2 to board!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
HOLY MOLY - if you’re a foodie, Virgin is for you! Every single thing was delicious. We didn’t have a single bad item! I have a severe food allergy and Virgin was amazing with that as well!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Virgin has a small pool area, which for someone who loves to bake in the sun, is a bit difficult but the DJ on seadays was great and we could always get a lounger! Pro tip - go swimming at night. The pools were open and no one was ever in them!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Virgin’s performers and live music was fabulous. We saw dual reality which was incredible too!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Not one bad staff member!! We loved talking to the staff and getting to know them!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is stunning. It’s super new so you could see that! No bumps or dents on furniture!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Out balcony was on the curve of the ship... it was huge! All 6 of my party could fit comfortably while I was in my hammock! GET THE HAMMOCK!

Ship tip

Book a balcony - the hammock is a game changer! Try everything - especially the food!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Absolutely love Miami! We stayed on Miami Beach!

The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas

5 out of 5
Holy cow! It’s such a beautiful place! The water was very cool in December but the pool party with all the inflatables was my favorite and the food on the island was amazing!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
This is a great port to just hang out in port. We took a cab to the beach and had better drinks and food at the swimming pool in port

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We didn’t want to leave!!
