Creator's Key Takeaways

I was apprehensive I arrived with a whole set of preconceptions and definitely concerns based on all I had heard seen and read

I really loved the galley both from an area to eat but also in the food options

YouTube Video Description

Virgin Voyages has had a rush of cruise reviews but there are, in my view, 6 issues that most Virgin Voyages cruise reviews have under-played or glossed over, so in this I talk and show the 6 things that surprised me most about Virgin Voyages having cruised on them, are not the ones that I thought I would have at all - also I think that have not been spoken about enough. I travelled as a guest of Virgin Voyages on a 4-night cruise out of Portsmouth UK. So, in this I also answer if I will be using my own money to cruise with them having experienced Scarlet Lady and these 6 issues that I feel have been underplayed, not discussed enough and reported on.
