Valiant Lady Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I was so impressed with Virgin. I did have relatively high expectations and wow did they deliver! The food and entertainment was the absolute peak and the Diva is probably my favorite personality I've ever encountered SO FUNNY.

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!

Would not do it again. Food options were too fancy and tasteless. VEGAN CHEESE in the Italian restaurant??? Design of ship was lacking. All Flash and No Class.

First cruise! Was very enjoyable and met lots of nice people.

We loved our cruise on Virgin Voyages - so much so that we're planning our next one for 2025! This "adults only" cruise concept is great - not that there's anything wrong with having kids on a cruise - heck my wife and I have cruised with our kids many times and had a wonderful vacation. It's just that it's a different vibe, and the fact that Virgin Voyages recognizes that sometimes folks just need something different, and just to be around other adults. It changes the experience immensely.

My first Virgin cruise and I am now sold. I have sailed on Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean. To say the service received on the Virgin cruise surpassed them all understates how great the service really was. I am not easily impressed but I was impressed by the friendliness, the attention to detail, and the sense of urgency each and every crew member demonstrated. The food was great (better than any other cruise) and the ship was new and beautiful with enough electrical outlets in the cabin without worrying about a power strip, but the service is what totally blew me away!

Brief overview-it was a disaster, Valiant Lady is not so valiant!

Train the staff to strategize cleaning the tables. Germs are spread if you wipe the table then The seat (where people sit and even put their feet on) then wipe the table again or another table with the same cloth. Maybe use biodegradable disposable cloths so that the table can be wiped then the seat and the cloth tossed after with a new one used for a different table. There was no hand soap in the bathroom, which is pretty strange. Doesn’t need to be a bar soap as that is not sanitary but maybe a soap dispenser? Servers/waiters should also tend to those sailors hanging on deck 16 at the Athletic club/pool area.

If you are looking for an adults only (no children) and a cruise that caters to a diverse age range and activities, this would be a great option.

This would have been a perfect week had we made the embark in Miami. The VV team on the ground was not helpful. We missed the ship and spent extra time and monies to fly into Puerta Plata to finally embark.

What we experienced in this cruise made us make it up in our mind that we will not be taking any more cruises.

The app is terrible. The only time it works correctly is each day when they tell you 6 times when your eating, to close your sliding door, etc... Other than that even the staff complained it doesnt work well. Problem is you have to use it book anything. Of course by the time you permitted to start booking tours and dining, the Rockstars have taken all the times. Everything about the ship we liked, but can not get over the LGBTQ XYZ over abundance. It was like being in San Francisco on Castro street for the parade. Something we do not care for, agree with, but tolerate. This was too much. Adults only doesn't mean you get to act like horny teenagers and everything goes.

Overall, I was leery of an adults only cruise and thought that it would be filled with explicit overtones. Not true! I enjoyed the vibe. I enjoy cruising for relaxation more than the destinations. This cruise was very relaxing during the day and entertaining at night. The destinations and private beach were great. Wi-fi included was a great move. The inclusion of all food/restaurants in fare was perfect. I had steak on three nights!! I think this will be my new favorite cruise line!

Loved not having kids running and screaming. The cabin was quiet and the hammock was divine! The staff was super friendly, easy going, and really seemed to enjoy their job. Loved there were no announcements in the staterooms or photographers hounding you every night. Most of the ship was decorated beautifully with only a few exceptions (like the stateroom hallway carpet ... it was dull pastels instead of vibrant and fun colors). Didn't like how difficult it was to get dinner reservations and the speed of the experience was sometimes right on and other nights had long waits between courses.

Virgin cruises is for a younger crowd than other cruises. Music is very modern and entertainment is mostly rave type parties.

Incredible cruise and an amazing first time in the Mediterranean, great ports, great cities to visit and nice excursions to explore and see the history of the area. Tapas, drinks and fun abound.

Great cruise line, loved seeing "real" people as the workers. They were allowed ro be themselves at any shape, size, color, etc. Shows were wonderful, food great, the only downside to me is the app and the pool.

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.

It was my first cruise and I loved it and it changed my perspective on travel.

Definitely younger crowd. Internet was pretty good. Common areas are way too loud with club music. We’ve booked another transatlantic because the price was too good to refuse. We really enjoyed dining in the restaurants for dinner.
