This was our 2nd virgin cruise. Absolutely fantastic. We loved it. The shows were great. The food was amazing. And the drinks certainly hit the spot 😋 All our excursions went smoothly and were fantastic. We really enjoyed Monaco and Rome. The balcony cabin with the hammock is the best thing ever. The staff were great. And we couldn't fault any of the services provided. Wish we were on it for another week!
Just returned from a virgin cruise around France , Spain and Italy. Had a great holiday all in all. This was our 15 th cruise and food was definitely the best we have ever experienced. However, the hard metal chairs we had on our balcony did ruin our holiday as spending time together relaxing on our balcony is a huge part of why we love cruising . Additionally, the cost of , choice and poor quality of the alcoholic drinks was shameful considering the cost of the holiday.
The whole experience was fantastic the staff who looked after us always had a smile and nothing was to much trouble the food in the galley kitchen was excellent and all the other restaurants did excellent food the ship was extremely clean and the entertainment was worth going to see them. The only disappointment was there was no laundry on site and having the clothes washed was VERY expensive But I certainly would consider going on another virgin cruise again.
Ship lovely and spacious compared to others. Staff all very polite and friendly. Hot drinks never seemed to be quite hot enough and no real choice of soft sugar free drinks unless you wanted Diet Coke. When something went wrong staff jumped through hoops to put it right for you. Food and choices were excellent but not necessarily available when ‘you’ wanted it. When you have been ashore in 30+ degrees and return to the ship you find it could be a few hours before the icecream parlour opens and only the basic drinks stations opened. Money put on Bar Tab…. Is just for alcohol and bar items. Not for spending in shops on the ship. The shops on board add 21% tax after advertised price which if from uk you have to claim back at the airports when you leave for home. You have to jump through hoops with passport details and email addresses. Then you find there is nowhere in the airport to do this. Also any unused Tab is non refundable. These little minor niggles took of the edge of what could have been the perfect holiday. But is something we would take into consideration if thinking of booking again.
