Creator's Key Takeaways

Do we think that this suite is worth it? Absolutely not.

Is it more roady than Rockstar? And find out the obscene amount of money we paid for this severely lacking experience.

The food has been very hit and miss on this one, which is very unusual for Virgin Voyages.

We paid $8,000 for this suite, which is a good 50% more expensive than we usually pay for a suite.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book everything as soon as you can, as reservations open 60 days before boarding.
If you suffer from motion sickness, book a cabin in the middle of the ship.
Come to Gung Bay for breakfast and lunch because it's open for seating when the buffet is busy.
