So.. this was our very first time cruising with Virgin Voyages. I can honestly say they've won me over 100% and they're WAY better and different than ANY cruise line. They're a brand new company, they do things EXTREMELY different than any other cruise line but in a super GOOD way in MANY ways. For one, they're Adults only, they also don't charge extra to go to all their specialty restaurants and they have a TON of specialty restaurants, all gratuities are INCLUDED in any sailing and this even includes not charging automatic tips if get services done like a massage, it's included free, they also don't hound you for extras like they don't go around trying to get pictures, they don't hound you for things like buying bingo or drink packages, they don't talk over head on their speakers like other ships, they don't do formal nights, the casino is smoke free and super clean smelling and huge variety of good games (if you do smoke, they do have a room you can go), they have tons of different clubs and bars, they even have an onboard tatoo parlor lol, they have neat beds at the pool and all around it, they have tons of neat comfortable sitting areas, huge couches all around inside and outside of the ship, they have tons of variety at night, theme parties, jammy pool parties and nightly activites, the ships are all brand new and super classy decorated, it's way laid back and FUN. They have fun areas of different snack foods all over the ship and both healthy and cheat foods you can grab throughout the ship. Everything about these guys is super unique. They also have fun hammocks on every balcony and and good music all day long. I will DEFINITLY be recommending them and I'll personally give them my business. Let me know if any of you would like to try them and I'll book you. I can get you good deals right now and free onboard credit. Note: the age group of clients on this cruise seemed much younger than the usual which was fun, I'd say anywhere from around 25 to 60ish and they also allow you to check out late around 10:45am. 😎 #virginvoyages #valiantlady #squidink
