First cruise ever. WOW why did I leave it so long? The Wprl at your feet is how I’d describe this trip. The places the staff the ease of booking . The food is such a treat. Lovely 🥰
Diabolical cruise. Advertised as 80's Extravaganza but 3 x 1 hour shows does not count as an Extravaganza.
Food in food court cold or tepid and served in wrong order ie fried egg, followed by toast 5 minutes later and then cereal 15 minutes later.
No H&S - almost half the ship either diagnosed with Covid on board or when they got home. Disembarkation was a joke with passengers snaking round the ship. Passengers had large suitcases and hand luggage and if there had been an emergency we dread to think what would have happened.
Lifeboat drill was a joke as the crew had no idea what they were doing
Everything had to be done on the app but the wifi kept going down.
There was no entertainment apart from the 3 x 1 hour shows
etc etc
Response from Virgin Voyages: We are sorry that you had a disappointing cruise. As we've discussed with everyone who sailed on this voyage this cruise was a charter organised by Imagine Cruising and the cruise was not the quality we would expect to deliver as standard with Virgin Voyages.

![Not as good as last year]()
When we arrived shipside we were not welcomed as if it was a luxury experience and had to struggle aboard with our suitcases.
The room was very noisy all day and long into the evening as we were just below the gym area. It was a very comfortable room with a sea view, but being on the 13th deck there was a huge overhang which hampered the view and we hadnt been made aware of either the noise issue or the restricted view.
We couldn't secure a booking at any restaurant until we complained about it near the end of the cruise. It seemed that loads of groups had booked up everything and we weren't the only ones complaining that we couldn't get availability at any restaurant at any time.
The comedians weren't funny at all and at the last gig I don't believe anyone there laughed once. The musicians were the same one almost every night and she seemed to have issues every single night and so only sang a one or two songs.
We felt the food in the individual restaurants wasn't the quality of our previous cruise and were quite disappointed with the menu. The galley was generally good though. We also felt the entertainment wasn't as good as our previous Virgin cruise.
Maybe we had high expectations as we had been a Virgin cruise before. We felt considering this was a cruise where most folk were 'indoors' most of the time Virgin could have tried a bit harder with the activities as if you dont like zumba or karaoke you are pretty much stuck.
Not sure I would pick Virgin again

The food is incredible, especially Extra Virgin restaurant. The takeaway food is also amazing, the sushi boxes are fresh and tasty.
Love the no kids element! Great atmosphere - it's what you make of it, you can find an area on the ship that suits your vibe.
