Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the app to view menus and onboard spend, but note it lacks deck plans.
βœ“Book dining reservations early via sailor services to avoid missing out.
βœ“Bring packing cubes or hanging organizers for longer cruises due to limited storage.
βœ“Move chairs and tables away from the hammock on your balcony to avoid injury.

Nervous about non-traditional entertainment and adult-focused activities β€” Expect innuendo and adult-only content; it's part of Virgin's brand.
Small pool size β€” The pool is tiny, but there are other activities; don't rely on swimming.

YouTube Video Description↓

If you'd asked me a year ago if I'd book a cruise with Virgin Voyages I would have said no way. I visited the ship in early 2020 and I felt very confused about who a Virgin Voyages cruise was for. But when I saw a cruise for Β£499 per person I knew I had to try it for myself. I wasn't sure if a Virgin Voyage would be for me, but I knew I wanted to find out. I paid Β£499 for the 3 night cruise in a mid ship sea terrace cabin. This price was based on 2 sharing (there are cheaper inside cabin rates available but all were sold out for my cruise). The cruise included soft drinks, gratuities and WiFi in that cost and we had $100 of onboard credit to spend. In this video we will look at my impressions of the ship, which things have changed since I was last onboard, how the food was, what the entertainment was like and much more.
