Review summary

It was an ok cruise. Reservations for everything you do on the ship was a deal killer for us.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was a piece of cake.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Excellent food. Didn't like the reservation system. Too much pressure the first day of cruising trying to reserve dining for every night of the cruise.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Shows weren't that great and you have to make reservations to be able to see them.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Ok.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Beautiful and clean.

We love the cabin. Spacious and we love the hammock on the balcony.

Ship tip

If you don't like making reservations for dinner, go with another cruise line.

The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas

5 out of 5

I love the beach club. Too bad it rain on us while having lunch. They should have covered places to have lunch for everyone on the cruise.

When I cruised in July, you had to to wait until you were onboard to make reservations. I guess they change the rules since then.
