Creator's Key Takeaways

I decided it was finally time to give Virgin Voyages a try when I found a good price for Brilliant Ladies Mermaiden Cruise out of New York City.

The food was disappointing. Although some meals were okay, most were lackluster and forgettable.

After 5 days on board, I'm not convinced Virgin is my new favorite cruise line. However, I understand its appeal.

Virgin Voyages has the best parties at sea. If you're looking for a party cruise, Virgin Voyages will deliver. I promise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a longer charging cable as outlets aren't directly next to the headboard.
βœ“Don't make a late night reservation on the very last night of the cruise.
βœ“Go to Squid, Inc. on embarkation day to place deposits and make a reservation for the tattoo parlor.

Mixed reviews about food and small pool deck β€” The food concept is intriguing, but execution can be hit or miss, especially on inaugural sailings.
Adults-only environment β€” The adults-only aspect is a huge perk, allowing for uncensored entertainment.
