---HONEST VIRGIN VOYAGES IRRESISTIBLE MED CRUISE REVIEW----
0:00 Introduction
---VALIANT LADY POOL AND SPORTS DECKS---
Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady is home to only two pools. The main pool is on Deck 15 midship. This small pool has a wading area with an even smaller area for taking a dip. This pool is surrounded by daybeds for those looking to soak up the sun. Unfortunately, the pool looks much better than it functions on a warm sea day.
Just aft of the main pool, sailors can find the wellness pool. This even smaller circular pool is surrounded by some loungers and outdoor work out equipment.
If you don’t need to be right next to a pool, there are additional outdoor spaces on Valiant Lady like the Athletic Club, The Perch, and The Dock which is our favorite space on the ship.
Further, Virgin Voyages emphasizes fitness and well-being with plenty of spaces to stay active. The Athletic Club features a boxing ring, outdoor circuit equipment, and a basketball court. There are also two separate gyms, one for cardio and one for strength training, and an exclusive halo jogging track.
Fitness class are complimentary on Virgin Voyages as well.
---DINING ON VIRGIN VOYAGES VALIANT LADY---
Another benefit of Virgin Voyages inclusive nature is that all dining is complimentary. From casual eats to all the sit-down restaurants, everything is included in the cruise fare. For us, the dining is where Virgin Voyages really shines.
On Valiant Lady, there are several casual spots to grab a bite to eat. Perhaps one of our favorites is the Pizza Place. Further, the main quick-service venue on Valiant Lady is the Galley on Deck 15. This food hall is home to 10 different eateries and is part buffet, part table service.
In the evenings, cruisers can choose from 6 different sit-down restaurants on Valiant Lady with a variety of global cuisines. These include Mexican tapas, Italian, Korean BBQ, an American steakhouse, a vegan friendly restaurant, and and experiential restaurant. We really enjoy Pink Agave, The Wake, and Extra Virgin. We also dined at the Test Kitchen for the first time on Valiant Lady.
---ENTERTAINMENT ON VALIANT LADY---
While we rave about the dining, the entertainment on Virgin Voyages is more hit or miss. The Untitled DanceShowPartyThing is a great show to kick off a cruise. This high energy Welcome Aboard show of sorts even culminates with a dance party.
Also occurring in the Red Room is our favorite show, Duel Reality. This modern day circus is a take on Romeo and Juliet, with performers like strength and balancing acts, jugglers, and dancers.
Unlike our previous cruises on Virgin Voyages, this Valiant Lady cruise review had two headliner acts in the main theater as well, a comedian and a magician/mentalist.
The Manor was home to two shows on this cruise. There is the signature Never Sleep Alone show which is an adult cabaret style show. Then, new for us was the Ship Show. This 90-minute dinner show featured a meal along with several variety acts, a house band, and dancers.
Over the past year, Virgin Voyages has improved its programming with more musical acts at various bars and lounges around the ship as well. There was also a Diva Show in the Manor which is a lot of fun.
In addition, there's social karaoke, salty trivia, a PJ party, nightclub experiences, and the signature Scarlet Night Party complete with a giant poolside octopus.

Have you sailed with Virgin Voyages yet? What do you like/dislike about this cruise line’s ships?

[@michaellorenzi4522]

My wife and I, along with five other couples that are friends, were on this cruise. It was spectacular. The food was amazing, with each dinner restaurant treating us like royalty. One of our friends is vegetarian, which was no problem. We were in the Rockstar cabins, so they spoiled us. All you could drink $23 glasses of Moët Chandon was free from 4pm to 6pm every night.

[@ustheduo]

awesome review, as always!! :)

[@heatherkannal8033]

Our first VV experience was this itinerary. We did 2 shore things and I guess we got lucky as they were incredible. We loved the Valiant Lady so much that we will be on her again for the Valiant Caribbean Holidays. We ended up buying 4 placeholders, also. We are now VV sailors for life!

[@Clemsonjmal]

Which night was Scarlet Night onboard (like after which port)?

[@msheartface5288]

Which shore excursions did you book please? Quite pricey and I’ll be on my own, is that acceptable or is it all couples and groups of friends? Thank you 😊

[@msheartface5288]

@@Clemsonjmallate answer but if you watch Meghan & Matt you’ll see. P.S. hate it when people don’t reply 😮 x

[@aynrandfan7454]

nice i was just on this cruise...spent 4 days in barcelona before hand

[@judyannyelton3906]

Thank you for a thorough review. We are taking this cruise in May 2023.

[@msheartface5288]

Hope you enjoyed! Did you book any shore excursions? I’m going in 3 weeks x

[@SoloonaCruise]

I have been on this ship. Love the ample vegetarian and vegan options for food and the inclusive crew. Found the pools to small, luckily it was not to warm when I was sailing.

[@ceceliamoreno1845]

The food is the highlight on this cruiseline

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

We completely agree!

[@jya811]

Thanks for this great video! I'm wondering if it's necessary to book excursions in advance or if you can wait until onboard too book. I don't want to risk them selling out but also want to use onboard credit for these. Also wondering what the price point is for everything approximately. If you can let me know, that would be super! thank you :)

[@TravelWithDan]

Hi, great review! Can I ask what deck you were on please?

[@kathyazzarito5950]

We just returned 2 days ago from this Irresistible Mediterranean cruise with Virgin. First cruise with Virgin. Loved it! Food was great. Loved the adults only cruise. We didn’t do any excursions- just toured ports on our own. We’re spoiled with Viking cruise tours - wasn’t impressed with excursion options. I’d cruise with Virgin again.

[@ccburgess3058]

I am going in Late November, did you have to take a Covid test before the cruise?

[@kathyazzarito5950]

@@ccburgess3058 No - just showed my vaccination card at the port. I don’t know if they are accepting unvaccinated sailors yet - many lines are. Unvaccinated may need a test.

[@juliensauriol4422]

Is it true that we cant relax because theres music everywhere And that they always pick poeple in the audience to participate in shows that can be « innapropriate »

[@sparkos14]

Ohhh this was the exact sailing I was on :D

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Very cool, sorry we missed you onboard!

[@sparkos14]

@@Eatsleepcruise1 No worries, great review! If you were there for the first Bingo with the Diva, I won the jackpot, woo!

[@nicolemartin3886]

Yes!❤

[@toridarr]

That's @BenPriceMagic ! He is the best! If you ever see him performing on ships, make sure you see his show!

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

His show was a lot of fun!

[@portianl]

what are the Ports of call.

[@ryandavis2589]

We have booked to go on this itinerary in June and this video has some good information. But it seems like these 2 are looking for disappointment and are quite negative. At some points in the video personally so, which seems a bit rude. I understand being adjective but come on you must of found some fun about this trip. Can't all be complaints and snide jabs.

[@SCYorks]

What was the latest time back to the ship on the Ibiza overnight??

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

The ship stays open all night.

[@cayishaazul]

I’m disappointed that the food was so lackluster. It was the primary selling point for us ☹️.

[@cometier]

You’re telling me you overnighted in Ibiza and didn’t get to Pacha?

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

That is correct! 🤣

[@c.j.rosado4389]

Niceeeee

[@Retrosenescent]

Sucks to hear your excursions were only 2 hours. That's not enough time to do really anything

[@msheartface5288]

There are definitely longer ones from 5 to 8 hours but they’re quite pricey 😊

[@db90990]

I'm gonna skip Virgin & go with Celebrity or Carnival

[@marshaj9842]

Try Royal Caribbean. They're great!

[@msheartface5288]

Good pal worked on ships for 8 years and her recommendations are Celebrity, Virgin, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean xx

[@kevinwatt4605]

2 hours to get food is shite

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

That’s typical at some cruise specialty restaurants.

[@karens.goldfarb8176]

The worst cruise ever. OMG I hated the boat and it was like a freak show. The shows was all about DRAG and Tucking. The boat configuration is terrible.

[@msheartface5288]

Tucking? Deliberately misspelt? 😬

[@guitarmuso1]

Camp fest by the look of it
