Smooth, quick, and easy. The terminal is very beautiful, too. Many places to relax while you wait.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Not sure where to begin… When they say the food on Virgin Voyages is designed by Michelin star chefs, it absolutely is. Not once at any restaurant did I leave disgusted or disappointed. The food was incredible anywhere I went. Even at The Galley, which was a mix of a buffet and a sit-down, the food was just plain good. The service was outstanding as well, and the restaurants were adorned beautifully. Best part—everything is included in your fare. Did not pay extra for any restaurant or dining experience. The only extra cost at a restaurant were specialty dishes that made sense for it to cost extra (like seafood platter at The Wake with lobster, oysters, shrimp, mussels, and more) and drink pairings to your meals. If you’re a foodie, this cruise line is for you.

The Dock House

5 out of 5

My favorite spot on the ship to lounge indoors. It’s relaxing and peaceful, not too loud at all. Opa Hours it gets busy, and if there’s entertainment, it’ll probably be louder. Otherwise calming and quiet.

Sip Lounge

5 out of 5

Great hangout spot too. This bar was fun and the bartenders made me some unique drinks.

On the Rocks

5 out of 5

Bartenders here are awesome and will make some great cocktails. Amazing spot for entertainment while drinking and socializing

Lick Me Till...Ice Cream

5 out of 5

Ice cream here was silky & just the right sweetness. Best free ice cream on any cruise ship. It was top level for a great free experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were plenty of daily activities on board from all spectrums. Art activities, sport and puzzle competitions, different kinds of trivia, and more. There was definitely something for everyone and it was unique.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows and performances were unique and fun. Weird for sure but that’s what made them good. The Happenings Cast were absolutely incredible and made every show top notch. Never seen great quality of entertainment on another line like on Virgin. Definitely VERY adult.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone took care of us the best they could.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was an amazing cabin and I loved that you used a tablet to interact with things in the room like lights, A/C, the curtains or if your room needed service of any kind. Beds were perfectly comfortable and the steward always cleaned the room when we requested it. It’s not 5 stars simply because the bathroom is a little tight. Plenty of room to shower but not much to move around by the toilet and sink. However, if that’s what Virgin has to do to provide plenty of shower space, then that’s great.

Ship tip

Try everything. Don’t miss out.

Disembarkation
