Review summary

First, the good. The service people on the ship are top notch, really helpful. The food overall is very good, rooms are clean and well laid out. The bad, it is not very similar for those who have cruised a lot. Maybe too different for some. The ugly: There is no bottled water. This may seem like a trivial small issue, but being in a hot crowded ship walking around on the hot outside sundeck it is good to be able to have cold bottled water to have with you or pick up anytime. One of those things you dont know how much you appreciate until it is gone. If you want water they serve you room temperature water in a large jug to keep in your room. Really? While the passengers of Virgin walk around dehydrated and deprived of cold bottled water, Sailors aboard Celebrity, Royal Carribean Cruise Lines and all others wave to us with their fresh, cold bottled water and hyradrated bodies. I hope Virgin will consider changing this policy. Until then no go for us.

It’s unlimited sodas and drinks. Is it that much effort to walk to a machine or bar?

I’m with you on the bottled water Celebrity Apex had aluminum bottled water and I could bring it to the sundeck and close it up or refill if needed.

Yup, no bottled water, as not to add to the environmental impact of plastic bottles dude. Bring a travel bottle next time.....

I assume this is a joke and no one would be that upset over no bottled water or not know to bring a refillable bottle.

I always bring a refillable steel water bottle on every cruise! It's so much better for you and the environment!

Really, we always travel with a refillable bottle, which I might add, is much better for the environment.

Virgin is not for everyone. Just bring a refillable water bottle, problem solved.
