Review summary

We loved this cruise. I mean "no kids" was not the only draw but it was up there. They do offer some fabulous discounts, the food and drink cards are perfect, the entertainment is top notch, the free WiFi - I have heard some people talk about the app but we did not have any issue on our cruise with it. We were Virgins on this one and now for the next we will be better prepared, I think!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was a breeze - no lines!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
To be fair, we did not go to all the restaurants but the food we ate was very good and fresh.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not much in the way of activities during the day (on a sea day), the pool is small (as I am sure most have heard, already), the arcade and lots of other games to play.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
This is where they knocked it out of the park - an illusionist show - the Charmer (this one was fabulous), the beautiful drag queen show - Carlos was amazing! all the singers, bands and guitar players all around the ship were awesome. The DJs at the parties were off the chain.

Children's Programs

NO Kids!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff at VV are happy and it shows!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is very clean! The layout is very different for us...it took a bit of time to get used to, because I love the feel of openness (with that being said), I understood it at the end. It is all about ambiance and a cozy vibe with each space.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved our cabin! It was sooooo clean - wowe. The bathroom was small but the shower was perfect. The balcony was spot-on. The bed was very comfortable and I usually have a hard time with pillows but they were pretty good. The tablet in the room was nice but after each TV show it cut off and we never figured out how to keep it going - maybe next time!

Ship tip

If you haven't heard this enough, book your restaurants and shows as soon as you can! If you have to cancel then, no biggie but just book them. Everyone told us, oh, you can get added to a wait list...don't do it! Some ships fill up.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We live in FL - Miami is awesome. (no excursion)

The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas

5 out of 5
WOWE! Beach Club at Bimini was top on our list! The pools, the beach, the party. We did not want to leave. Beautiful day! I would have to say the only negative was - we had to get our own drinks. Most of the wait staff was catering to the cabana guests but we met some nice people while waiting for drinks so, win-win! (no excursion)

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy - no waiting to get off but we left off at 8:30 taking off our own luggage. Our friends left at 10:15 and they had a line.

I had the same reaction to pretty much everything you did on my first VV cruise. Immediately purchased a MNVV voucher, and am going again in November. Loved my experience!
