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?
