Creator's Key Takeaways

We expected the ship to be trendy and stylish, but we didn't expect some of the best cruise food and dining value we'd ever had.

The specialty restaurants are included, so instead of debating whether dinner is worth another upcharge, you simply enjoy a great meal.

We expected Virgin to feel loud and chaotic all the time. Instead, what we found was a ship that actually felt spacious, relaxed, modern, and strangely calming during most of the day.

After two weeks aboard, we walked away already talking about booking another Virgin Cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make your specialty dining reservations early because they fill up quickly.
Use the Virgin app each day to check for available dining times and reserve directly from the app.
