My First Virgin Cruise
The ship, food, and entertainment are amazing! I will definitely sail with them again. The casino is not my favorite. It is small and not much variety. I found Rakin Bacon machines in the smoking room which paid good the first night. They tightened up after that. They have Dragon Link but they didn’t seem to pay anything big. There were some hand pays but not as many as I have seen one other ships. Thankfully I had one the first night.

NOT A CASINO SHIP
Give it 5 star for No kids. Give it 5 star for drinks in casino offer. Give it 5 stars for the Balcony Room. Give it 3 stars for the food. ( if you like steak, 5 stars) Give it 1 star for Casino. Give it 1 star to smoking gamblers. The casino is small. Small rows of same machines. No variety. If your a slot player, tight as the company name. Saw 1 jackpot the Whole Cruise. (Last day in smoking room $5k $8.80 bet on Bacon Pig machine). Smoking room has 4 video poker and 9 bacon pig machines. Expect winter gear, cold as Michigan in winter in there. Looks like the airport smoking rooms. Deck 16 has a smoking area. Metal chairs and benches, no cushions and everyone fights for shade. No bar close to it, random servers when they feel like it. Casino closes at 3am no matter what. Opens late morning 10, 11, noon. Closes at every port, regardless. There is a slot tournament , $25 to play. I didn't play. Shows- line forms in casino every eve. Blocks everyone in casino from moving around. Spent my large budget in 3 nights, which usually lasts me a whole trip on any other cruise. No Give back, really. Friend got a bonus on Dragon, 12.50 bet, got $19 total. The cruise ship itself caters to Healthy, Excercise, and Physically active people, not Casino, Drinker, Gamblers. I didn't have High Expectations, but I would rather try any other Cruise line and Deal with Children, then ever go one this ship again!

Worst cruise line ever
The food was horrible!!! The rooms were small the staff (when you can find them were rude) Casino has to be the smallest I have ever seen on a cruise line and also the tightest especially if you are signed in I went through more then half my bank roll by day 2 every slot just took and took!!!!

GREAT CRUISE - HORRIBLE CASINO
The food was GREAT , staff was so very attentive.. Ship is beautiful and clean, however this is the worst casino on any ship I've ever been on.
The slots are outdated. The casino is SO VERY TINY, I could not play if I wanted to, any decent machines seemed to always have the same people at them. Found out 1 point for every $5, My husband played BlackJack at the $50 minimum as the $10 and $25 Minimum was full. The the payout are absolutely horrible. I enjoy the gambling and this did not offer it. Such a shame.
I had a great time cruising so thank you @urcomped. Wish I could have gambled more.

First Virgin Cruise
Just return from my first Virgin Voyage last night. The ship was absolutely beautiful. I loved all the open spaces and places available to gather or just relax. I wasn’t sure I would be able to use the hammock because of I get motion sickness but it was delightful. The app needs updating or something because it was very spotty before and during the cruise. The casino is entirely too small. There were 2 roulette tables and their goal was to get at least 10 people at the table. That is way too many people and made a gambling experience unenjoyable at most times. It also cause me not to be able to play as much as I normally would. Most of the casino staff were wonderful except one of the pit bosses. Robert, Christine and Sergia were my favorites.
Making restaurant and show reservations was a nightmare. My room was very nice. The shower was a good size however it was a bit of a squeeze to use the toilet and I’m not very big. My first thermal spa experience was an absolute nightmare. There are entirely too many people allowed in at the same time. People do not respect that it’s suppose to be a relaxing space and not a pool party. The staff did try to make it up to me by inviting me to try it again. I was able to at least get an hour in that time before another noisey crowd showed up.
The live music was outstanding. I met some wonderful people. Overall, I had a good time. Would I cruise on Virgin again, if comped absolutely?

1st Virgin Voyage
This was our first cruise on Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady and we loved it. Totally different vibe from what we’re use to but in a good way! Loved the layout of the ship and the crew was so pleasant and attentive. We will definitely cruise again!
