Creator's Key Takeaways
Some love the food on Virtuosa, some not. So, we spent 15 nights in 2025 on board, including after the refit, and we have a full guide at all the complimentary and specialtity restaurants on board.
Yeah, you want to avoid this area at all costs. You will not find a seat. and it is just really really crowded.
I would say brunch was very hit and miss when we went.
MDR for dinner was fairly good most nights. There were a couple of nights when we had some awful meals, but generally something for everybody if you make the right choices.
