Creator's Key Takeaways

the winner is the room that we'll never be able to afford again and we only got it because we used the bid upgrade program

it's pretty impossible to argue with it's so good I mean we've been saying this since we first went on Virgin

it is probably the most stunning ship we've been on today consistently through this areas

it is impossible not to smile throughout a virgin cruise ship it's not forced fun either

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure to get a sheltered balcony on the corner for Virgin to avoid wind issues
Consider using the bid upgrade program for MSC Yacht Club to get a better value
If you want great food without extra charges, Virgin is the best choice
