Brilliant Lady Reviews

This was our third Virgin Voyage, first time on this ship. There have been a few changes with this new ship, such as more comfortable chairs at The Dock Bar area and later opening for the coffee bar in The Galley Restaurant which we found beneficial. The food was good, at times we felt a little rushed in the restaurants, however when we asked for a delay in serving the next course it was never an issue. We really enjoyed the cruise, sea days were very relaxing, and we did not have any issues getting a sun bed. Miami Port is under construction, the roads were very busy and there were around 8 ships in port so you need to give yourself plenty of time when travelling to the port. We stayed at the Pullman Miami Airport hotel, it was fine for the night.

Love Virgin

Absolutely wonderful cruise line. Now only ever want to cruise with Virgin. Everything is exceptional – the staff, food, entertainment, wi-fi. Soft drinks are free. Couldn’t fault it.

Had a great time on Brilliant Lady. We loved the layout of the ship. Plenty of quiet chill out areas & food was great.

Entertainment was good but the venues were to small also some Entertainment was on far to enjoy if you had a excursion in the morning Food in the restaurants but unable book any so had to eat early to get a seat. Seating was crowded

Great new ship. Well maintained and clean at all times. Hard working crew. Cabin nice, bathroom rather small though. Entertainment quite good, depends on individual tastes.

Lovely ship and excellent staff. The main problem is with booking the restaurants. Tried to book before we left but we only managed to get one reservation for the whole cruise. Went to sailor services who managed to book us in but very often too late at night for us. Cabin was modern but lacked storage. The lighting was too dark especially for applying makeup. Bathroom was small. Hammock on the balcony was fantastic! Limited entertainment as went to see a show in the second week that we'd already seen. Difficult to find quiet spaces during the day to read and relax as music playing in all public areas. Excursions were quite expensive and the one to Peggy's Cove gave us less than an hour at the town. The virgin voyages app was regularly sending out notifications trying to upsell products and services.

We were originally on floor 5 underneath The Manor (disco and shows) and the noise was unbearable so we had to move cabins. They did offer us earplugs 🤔 Be warned. Also unable to book restaurants and keep fit when we arrived on the ship as rock star bookings are able to snap these up 2 weeks before general release so we ate a in the Galley most nights which becomes a little boring after 16 days.

Ship was ok not loads to do like we first thought when we booked it. Getting on board was a joke leaving everyone standing around for a couple of hours but once we went upstairs to get our wristbands there was loads of empty seats that we could of all used, there was loads of older people waiting on sticks. A lot of the entertainment in the manor and the red room was more queuing until it got full and we was turned away. A lot of the seating on board is like all sitting in what seemed like a corridor, even in the coffee place. The worse thing we found was around the pool side on deck 15 the music was so loud and clubby. We asked 3 days on the trot can you turn it down a bit as we and others wanted to relax. People we leaving because of it. We asked, messaged and went down to reception but not listenied to! Even the food gallery it was noisy. So unnecessary, the age group we 40 up to about 90. For this reason we I'll not be travelling with virgin any time soon. The few bands we saw were amazing though and food was extremely good. On the whole the ship is like IKEA on steroids all mdf and gloss.

Fabulous holiday on Brilliant Lady. Lovely cabin . Very modern , clean and immaculate . Great food choices throughout the ship. Excellent entertainment
