Review summary
Overall I had a really good time. I loved the hammock. I can't think of one word to describe it all. Food was great, as advertised. Shows were fun. The ship and Beach Club were beautiful. The bars need more bartenders to cut down wait times for drinks (ship and beach club), by far the worst part of the trip. I was worried about the "Bar Tab" and not having a drink package but, in the end it worked out just as well and might have even saved a little money over having a package on other cruise lines. The pool is 2/3 sun deck making the pool water extremally hot in July (think hot tub). By the third day it started looking murky. I will definitely look into another trip with Virgin Voyages.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Noodle Around
Loved the ramen and it was delivered fairly quick.
Lick Me Till...Ice Cream
A few different options, Better than soft serve.
The Wake
Brunch was good.
The Test Kitchen
Some food choices were "interesting" all were very tasty.
The Pizza Place
Tasty pizza. Could benefit from having a supply of most commonly ordered pizzas (peperoni/cheese) ready for grab and go.
The Manor
Cool venue although a little small. View from upstairs was good if you have a seat at the rail.
The Galley
Food was good but I wish you could grab food yourself at all locations within.
Pink Agave
Delicious.
On the Rocks
My favorite bar. (probably the fastest too)
Gunbae
Almost did not do this due to fears over shellfish allergy. We checked last minute and they said they would message us if they became available. They did and we went. Everything was delicious and they accommodated for the allergy and there were no issues. Waiter was awesome and we had a lot of fun.
Extra Virgin
Delicious. Two meals with nothing repeated, all very good.
Burger Bar
Burger was good but the order took a long time (I think another Sailor just took it from the waiter's shelf)
Bento Baby
It was nice to be able to just grab a box and go. Sushi (lunch) and fruit (breakfast) both were really good.
Onboard Activities
The Casino
Smaller side but no smoke.
Sailor Services
Had a minor issue with the band that was resolved quickly.
Redemption Spa
First spa visit. I expected it to be crowded but it was not.
Entertainment
Children's Programs

Ship Quality
Cabin / Stateroom
Ship tip
Book your shows early as venues are "intimate" (smaller). If the show/event does not need reservations, get there early. Keep an open mind.
Ports of call
