Why I hate Virgin Voyages

Key Moments
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.

Creator's Key Takeaways
First is that they don't do buffets. When I cruise on Virgin, I really miss the chaos, standing in line and watching people pick up food and touch it and put it back down and random cruisers giving your food a little bit of extra seasoning.
And the pools, they're just way too calm and quiet. No kids splashing, urinating in the pools, and causing chaos.
And no fun surprises on your end of cruise stateroom account because with Virgin Voyages, everything is included in your fair.
