Creator's Key Takeaways
This is a very different Cruise Line This is not your run-of-the bill this is not your parents Cruise Line
the food was very very good I would say overall over five days I would say everything we ate was either as good as or in most cases better than other cruise lines
we would definitely go back on Virgin voyages again and I think if you're an adult couple in our age demographic absolutely consider this
the best beach experience we've ever had on any Cruise Line they really did it nice
