Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of the XL Sea Terrace cabin on the Virgin Voyages ship Resilient Lady. They note that the XL Sea Terrace is a larger version of the standard balcony cabin and is consistent across the Virgin Voyages fleet. The reviewers highlight several positive aspects of the room, including the generous amount of space, the comfortable bed, and the highly functional entertainment system that allows for easy control of curtains and room service. They also appreciate the layout of the bathroom, specifically the separation of the toilet from the sink and shower area. However, they identify some drawbacks, such as the lack of in-room tea and coffee facilities and limited storage space under the bed for large suitcases. The most significant issue discussed is the specific balcony location, which lacked a hammock and suffered from uncomfortable wind patterns and water runoff. Because of these balcony issues, the reviewers give this specific room a six out of ten rating. They conclude by advising future travelers to check specific room numbers on deck plans to ensure they receive a balcony with a hammock and a better location.
