Review summary

The overall was good. It was a struggle to stay in the cabin with the AC not working properly, it was the same in both cabins they gave us. This really put a damper on our vacation. The beach club was the best ever!

Bad air conditioning probably due to the ridiculous way virgin forces you to lock your balcony door or the air conditioning won't come on So if you and your friend want to sit out on the balcony for a couple hours having a drink and watching the ocean go by you're going to walk into a red hot room. Not like all other cruise lines where all you have to do is close the door and latch it not lock it not lock yourself out in cases of fire or you have to lock your wife out on the balcony real real safe in case of a fire you locked out just so you can have air conditioning no other cruise lines like that they all want you to close the door but you don't need to lock it.

Thanks for sharing you experiences. Glad your beach day at Bimini went well. It is unfortunate the A/C in your cabin did not cool you that is important when rest and relaxation is a priority during your trip. Did you take advantage of the thermal spa. Now that was tranquility.
