Why I hate Virgin Voyages

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses several aspects of the Virgin Voyages cruise experience that they find lacking compared to traditional cruising. One primary grievance is the absence of buffet dining, as the creator expresses a preference for the chaotic environment and social interactions often found in buffet lines. Additionally, the creator notes the lack of children on board, stating that the absence of kids running through hallways and making noise changes the atmosphere of the ship. The pools are also mentioned as being too calm and quiet due to the lack of splashing and typical child-related activity. Finally, the creator addresses the pricing structure, noting that Virgin Voyages includes many amenities like Wi-Fi, gratuities, specialty dining, and soft drinks in the initial fare. This inclusive model prevents the surprise of unexpected charges on the final stateroom account, which the creator suggests removes a common element of excitement or anxiety experienced at the end of other cruises.
