Valiant Lady Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall I enjoyed this cruise. Using the app is essential but it isn’t the best for information. They want to be paperless on Virgin but it would be helpful if they actually had more information on the television along with ship location. The music was great and the food was unique. They had a bad selection of beer- no Guinness but it was on all menus. Wine was also not what was on menu. If you cannot spend your $300 bar tab then buy a bottle of wine to take back home with you from the restaurant.

Our 6 night voyage was amazing, relaxing, energizing, joyful, and inclusive. A great mix of sea- and port-days. No shortage of spaces to explore and activities to opt in (or out) of. Can’t wait to sail again!

This was one of the best cruises ever. Processes were smooth and easy. The boat was immaculate. The staff was awesome and the food was amazing!

The itinerary was wonderful! The service was not what we expected at all. Pretty terrible, did not cater to passenger requests at all. Die hard Celebrity cruiser here and guess that's not gonna change 🤷

Interesting cruise style. Definitely enjoyed the smaller restaurant style cruise rather than one giant dining hall.

First experience with Virgin Voyages and not my last! I am planning already for early 2024 and early 2025.

First, the good. The service people on the ship are top notch, really helpful. The food overall is very good, rooms are clean and well laid out. The bad, it is not very similar for those who have cruised a lot. Maybe too different for some. The ugly: There is no bottled water. This may seem like a trivial small issue, but being in a hot crowded ship walking around on the hot outside sundeck it is good to be able to have cold bottled water to have with you or pick up anytime. One of those things you dont know how much you appreciate until it is gone. If you want water they serve you room temperature water in a large jug to keep in your room. Really? While the passengers of Virgin walk around dehydrated and deprived of cold bottled water, Sailors aboard Celebrity, Royal Carribean Cruise Lines and all others wave to us with their fresh, cold bottled water and hyradrated bodies. I hope Virgin will consider changing this policy. Until then no go for us.

If you want to forget about the world’s problems, go on a VV cruise

Most of the staff were friendly. I applaud the Virgin’s effort to offer an adults only cruise. However, I missed some many of the standards of traditional cruises.

Very relaxing cruise. Cabin was wonderful, everything works from a tablet and the hammock was so relaxing. Food was outstanding but a few misses. Would of liked more entertainment which seemed lacking. Been on more than 25 cruises and this was the most excellent service and really enjoyed talking with crew members you can understand.

In choosing VV, I was looking for something different that the traditional mainstream cruises. Although each cruise line has its own signature touches, they still tend to feel the same at times. I have been on Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and of course Carnival. But I can honestly say that Virgin feels different. The Valiant Lady has a unique and unusual layout. Not that it's bad. It just takes some getting used to. The same goes for the entertainment. I especially like the fact that it's 'adults only'. It felt like everything was specifically catering to me. Not having to adjust or tone down the entertainment just to accommodate having children onboard. It felt new. It felt exciting. And I liked it! Can't wait for the next one.

Loved virgin..questioning where my cruise loyalty will land. We will be back on the Lady Ship in December.

We were excited to try Virgin to see if the changes they’ve made to cruising made it better or worse. And, honestly, it depends on what you like about cruising. We aren’t people that club, so we didn’t find ourselves taking advantage of the late night parties as often as others. I like that there’s no main dining. They need more room storage. There was no shortage of plugs in the room. There were so many spaces inside the ship to crab a seat and hang out.

I've been cruising yearly for over 13 years, and by far, Valiant Lady ranks in the top 3 of my all time favorites.

I have booked another cruise out of Miami next March, to use a FCC. Don’t think I would have done so otherwise! I couldn’t get used to the “off the cuff” approach.

We knew from the adverts and what we had seen when booking this cruise that it was going to be different. What we didn't realise was that it was going to be the perfect storm of two companies that couldn't organise a Pi** up in a brewery. An 80’s Extravaganza on board Virgin Voyages, Valiant Lady with Imagine Cruising is what we booked, with top acts from the 1980’s to dance the night away to. What Imagine Cruising delivered was a damp squib! The dictionary definition of an Extravaganza is “an elaborate and spectacular entertainment or production” this was neither elaborate nor spectacular. Over 11 nights we had three hours entertainment, well actually we personally didn’t even get that as we were isolated in the “Covid Colony” having contracted it on-board the ship so we missed the third show with Tony Hadley at the end of the cruise.
