Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their final day in Bimini and provide a comprehensive review of their experience with Virgin Voyages. The video begins with a painting excursion on the beach where the pair follows an instructor to create sunset landscapes. They later return to the ship to explore the dining options, specifically testing the Galley buffet and dining at Razzled Dazzle. While they express high praise for the quality of the specialty dining, noting it is some of the best food they have experienced on a cruise, they criticize the limited variety at the buffet. The creators conclude with a detailed assessment of the cruise line, comparing it to Disney, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity Edge class. They highlight several negatives, including a lack of cabin storage, a difficult boarding process, and a lack of accessible hydration options like bottled water. However, they ultimately decide they would sail with the line again, primarily due to the exceptional food quality and the calm, tame atmosphere of the passengers.
