Creator's Key Takeaways

The food is out of this world. And I I could I could definitely say that it is the best food at sea.

We've done over whatever 25 cruises and I don't think we've ever ever experienced the quality of food that we have on Virgin.

The pool is very small. If you see in the videos or pictures, it looks pretty big, but it's actually not.

I think right now u we're going to wait a while till we go back on a Virgin Cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book dinner reservations as soon as they open (40 days before) because they fill up quickly.
βœ“If you want shade on the pool deck, plan ahead as there are limited covered loungers.
βœ“Consider going with a group of friends for a better social experience.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not fitting in with the ship's vibe β€” Don't worry; the ship is inclusive with a definite age range, not just young people.
Being turned away from restaurants without a reservation β€” Book reservations early and be aware that walk-ins may not be accommodated.
