Creator's Key Takeaways

I've sold with both these lines pretty recently and there are definitely positives and negatives on each.

Virgin Voyages from Portsmouth and its single terminal which is geared up for feries is too small.

Whatever you do, do not jump into a Virgin Voyages bed.

The food on Virgin is a giant zero gravity moon step up from the included dining on Cunard.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid jumping into Virgin Voyages beds to prevent injury.
Ask for more food on Cunard if portion sizes are too small.
