Incredible journey that we will never forget.
We all were very impressed with the Virgin Voyages concept, and can't wait to book another cruise.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
More signage would be preferred. When we showed up at our designated check in time we noticed a line to drop off the luggage. Once we got to the front of it we were told that this is not the right line and to proceed to the vip line. once we got to the front of the vip line we were told that we first have to check in our luggage at another line. Just too confusing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The number of restaurant and bar choices was exceptional. The main dining buffet called The Galley had multitude of great food choices, with to go boxes if you were in a hurry. The Wake was the upscale steak and seafood restaurant with a posh feel. Razzle Dazzle was the casual spot with eclectic menu. Pink Agave was the Mexican restaurant featuring a multitude of great dishes. Gunbae was the Korean restaurant, whose food we didn't care for, but it was a cultural experience nonetheless. Extra Virgin was Italian restaurant that appealed to most people's pallets. The Test kitchen was the only restaurant that we were seriously considering walking out of. The 6 dishes that were served were not that tasteful (obviously that is so subjective!) - scallop, eel, cheese, chicken, watermelon and yazu - with yazu desert being the most tasteful. The whole experience took 3 hours and we tried to rush through the last 2 dishes. Pizza Place was the go to when craving a homely bite. Lick Me Till I Scream had a nice selection of delicious ice creams.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Shows could not be reserved and were on a first come first seated basis. The Scarlet Night was out of this world, much better that any Fun Ship we were on. Pajama Party was also great, requiring me to purchase my first set of pajamas since I was 12 LOL. I wish there was more trivia activities, it seemed like there was one a day as opposed to 5-6 on Carnival. Loved not having any screaming kids on board, as well as no pushy photographers asking to constantly take pictures, or staff trying to upsell you on drink packages.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
DJ Tash was great (watch out John Summit HAHAAHa). Shows were entertaining, dance parties were fire.
Children's Programs

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Plenty of storages and well thought out layout with the iPad controlling every function from tv to curtains to lighting. I just couldn't find an option to dim the iPad at night for the complete darkness
Ship tip
Thermal spa access is 4 hours if you book 8pm slot as opposed to 3 hours for any other time slot
John Summit, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, need to say more? 7pm to 4am dance party had us so worn out we just lounged around all day at the Nassau Beach Club
The taxi stand needs some revamping, as there were 50-70 people waiting for taxis and the taxis were lined up to 40 long, so there has to be a better way of getting people in them without both the cabs and the passengers waiting 20 minutes
