Entertainment

Our first VV cruise but it probably won’t be our last. From our first hour onboard, exploring every the ship had to offer, to our last, it was a great experience. The ‘Happenings Cast’ were talented and fun, and the range of entertainment was excellent with some standout experiences in the Red Room, notably The Magnets, and smaller venues with performers such as the amazingly talented Flute Loops and Slam Allen. The ship was cleverly designed so nothing onboard ever felt crowded. The food was fantastic: from gorgeous ice cream with a great range of flavours, to the specialist dining venues and The Galley the variety and quality was outstanding. Not having a serve-yourself buffet / MDR made everything feel so much more appealing and safer as it massively reduced the risk of contamination. Our cabin was fabulous! We had a front corner larger-than-average Seaview cabin with lots of room to move about without getting in each other’s way. The shower was a very good size with a handheld and overhead choice. The tablet, from which room functions such as TV, lights and curtains could be operated, as well as Ship Eats, schedules etc was innovative. The fridge was a godsend as was the easy-to-control air conditioning. My only criticism was that the bed mattress was very hard and I didn’t realise we could have asked for a topper. The crew were lovely - our cabin steward Maria was so helpful and brought us extra hangers within minutes of asking. Our room was kept spotless and towels/water were replenished speedily. The pool deck was very popular but here we were disappointed that the main ‘swimming’ pool was tiny with a shallow paddle area each side - impossible to actually swim in, but that’s a tiny complaint compared with the abundance of positive experiences we had.

Second time on this ship and 4th cruise with Virgin, amazing as expected. Food is top tier, fantastic quality and the service from all staff is exceptional. Ship is spotless, favourite area is the dock house and their Opa hour in the afternoon. The wooden seats right at the back are horrendously uncomfortable and no one ever sits on them, so seems a waste of space. I wish there were a few more theatre shows, that’s all. Would return again with virgin voyages without hesitation purely because of the food quality and service.
