Review summary

Don't be afraid of those who live a different lifestyle; they need a vacation like everyone else. It's also great to not see kids running around everywhere. You can relax at your own pace, and no one will bother you—except if your wife is the life of the party at the casino, and then everyone knows who you are!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We caught the free shuttle to Bayside. It picks you up right at the Virgin terminal. Be advised that you do have to cross a busy street to get to Bayside. Make sure you ask the driver where the pickup location is on your way back. We returned at our check-in time and got our bands.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was, for the most part, very good. The only downside was that some of the food was served lukewarm.

The Dock House

5 out of 5

It's an excellent place to chill and eat delicious little plates of food. The food here was served hot!

Hot off the Press

Try the Nutella jelly banana sandwich. I think it has bananas, and it was so good. I thought I didn't like hazelnut

Gym & Tonic

I love the fresh juices and spent most of my bar tab here

Burger Bar

5 out of 5

Try the French toast burger. I ate here many times, especially when I could find what I wanted to eat. You cannot go wrong with a big, juicy burger.

Bento Baby

Fresh fruit and sushi. Yummy

Entertainment

5 out of 5

These shows are original. Get out of your comfort zone and have a good time. Embrace others who live differently than you. Bingo with the Diva was very fun. The ship show is good, raunchy fun!! Enjoy these adult shows; you only live once. We saw a 79-year-old woman having the time of her life.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I have to say that, out of the cruises I have been on, these crew members look happy to be part of the crew.

Ship Quality

Beautiful ships, very clean. I am sad I couldn't get a good picture of the Valiant lady mermaid.
