Review summary

After doing multiple cruises with other cruise lines i found the VV cruise to be very disappointed. For the price they charge compared to others it should have been way better then what we received. MSC , NCl and Celebrity are hands down a better value and experience.

I have sailed on VV 5 times. Why couldn't you shower more than once a day. There's no reason why you couldn't shower more than once a day. If you needed more towels, you could have just asked the cabin host for more towels or any other supplies that you needed.

Itinerary looks lovely. You can always request extra towels if that’s what you’re referring to about the showering once per day comment. I’m sorry you were disappointed with your experience.
