VirginVoyage

Just got back from Scarlet Lady and a friend told me something kind of wild. There was a cabin across from her with security posted outside 24/7, and they were going in like once an hour. I’ve never seen anything like that on a cruise. Is that basically someone being confined to...

Didn’t realize Virgin blocks certain sites entirely unless you buy the “Work from Sea” package. Someone onboard needed to access their school SharePoint for a group project. Upgraded to Premium wifi, still wouldn’t load. After an hour of troubleshooting, found out SharePoint is...

First time cruising and this threw us off a bit. We knew Virgin doesn’t do onboard tipping, so we didn’t bring a bunch of small bills. Just had some $20s. When we handed our bag to the porter, he said something like “now is the time to tip me,” in a way that felt less optional...

We’re sailing Virgin for the first time in a couple months. Booked a balcony and I called to upgrade to a Seriously Suite for our TA. Rep quoted me a price. I agreed. We were literally in the middle of processing it when she said she was having computer issues and put me on...

We just did Valiant Lady Feb 14. Valentine’s Day and my wife’s birthday. Honestly one of the best cruises we’ve taken. Crew was great, vibe was fun, food solid. But we had two pretty wild moments. First was before we even boarded. I had a sharp pain near my kidney and thought...

I know some people roll their eyes at travel insurance, but mine has genuinely been worth it. I use an annual mid tier plan that costs about $250 a year. Last year I had a concert trip get rescheduled and ended up claiming around $300 in nonrefundable hotel and activities. They...

I did Scarlett Lady for 5 nights with a girls group after avoiding cruises for 20 years. Last one I did was Carnival and I hated everything about it, so I went in pretty skeptical. Ended up having a really good time. Rooms were clean and comfy, hammock on the balcony was my...

Rebooked our cruise by phone after canceling an earlier one, confirmed multiple times, and even called about the app not working. Flew from Chicago to Miami ready to sail the 2025 Colorful Curaçao voyage, only to be told at the terminal we were actually booked for 2026. Staff at...

Just got off an 8-night Virgin Voyages cruise (Brilliant Lady from Miami). There were some cool parts adults only, great room service, awesome desserts, and Richard Branson himself was on board for a few nights. Embarkation was easy, staff were friendly, and the Wi-Fi was solid....
