Review summary

We would definitely travel with Virgin the next time. The app wasn't accessible outside of ship wifi once the cruise commenced, and this was challenging. Fix this and refine the shore "things" and this will be an A+. Food was spectacular.

Loved it except the shower is tight and would be difficult for a large person to get into and out of. High tech stuff is great.

The Virgin excursion was too fragmented- tried to do too much in one day. We crashed into another bus and the itinerary was interrupted, though there were no injuries. Virgin promised to "take care of us" but they have been minimally responsive.

Excursion to Florence-- frenzied. The Virgin shore "things" were the largest disappointment about the week.

We booked a Viator in Rome to visit the Sistine Chapel which was far superior to the Virgin shore things.
