Review summary

First time cruising on Virgin Voyages. Totally chill vibe on ship. Staff and crew and passengers all very friendly. Loved the ports of call. Dining experience very different on this ship. Here is my compliment and complaint. Food very good in the specialty restaurants much like high end restaurant. Presentation is great. Food is very tasty and rich mostly due to sauces used. They do not have a buffet on board but instead have the Galley. It offers up some different dishes daily but pickins are slim. If you are only going on a 5 to 7 day cruise, you should have no complaints with the food choices. We were on board for back to back cruises for a total of 22 days and we were burnt out at eating at the individual restaurants as they do not change the menu at each restaurant. And the Galley was hit or miss. For longer cruises, I would probably cruise with a different cruise line. Overall, you should definitely give Virgin Voyages a try.

Appreciate your detailed review. Glad you enjoyed your cruise, even if the food became boring on a 22 days adventure.
