Review summary
The ship was beautiful and crew did the best they could but they were definitely understaffed and it showed. You are not allowed to go to different breakfast areas to grab food except desserts/pastries and the ordering process was tedious. You would have to raise this flag and then hope a server saw it and then you placed your order. There was seven of us in the group and all our meals came at different times and normally Luke warm. Positives are the rooms, no pesky photographers and no constant announcements detailing every event on the ship and of course no kiddies. Negatives were very few activities, pool areas way too small, hard to get a drink in the pool area as there were hardly any wait staff, breakfast in the Galley and their ordering system was abysmal. Stay away from Razzle Dazzle as that restaurant was terrible.Embarkation

Ship tip
This isn't your typical cruise. Some things Virgin gets right like the tablets in the room but many things they get wrong like the way you order in the Galley which I think is a total disaster. If you have any hangups about hanging with LGBTQ crowd then this ship is definitely not for you as they seem to have adopted this cruise line as a favorite.
Ports of call
The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
