What REALLY Happens on a Virgin Voyages Cruise?! Let's Find Out!

[@Wendys_lovinglife]

I LOVE your videos and you two! The visuals and production value is excellent and the content is so entertaining and informative. Thank you!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you so much Wendy, really kind of you to say!

My husband and I went on our first ever cruise on Virgin and loved it. Although we weren’t big on the crazy parties and entertainment, we found the value and quality of the included food, fitness facilities and activities to be very worth it and we found many quiet spots to wile away the days with a good book or relax at the spa, so we were quite satisfied. Thanks for bringing us such lovely, informative content. You are some of our favorite KZbinrs and we look forward to all your videos.

Hi Sandra, great to hear from you. Thank you for your lovely comments. We would 100% echo your comments about the gym. My wife reckons it's one of the best at sea. Likewise we loved relaxing in the Dock House, platter of mezze and skewers in one hand, drink in the other 🍷!

[@swjumbo747]

Another great video Bill. Most enjoyable and fairly balanced as always. I’d always advise against flying on the day of the cruise but am doing exactly that in a few months! Living dangerously eh? We were hoping to hear your dulcet tones at karaoke. Thanks as always and looking forward to the next one.

Hi there, it was certainly nail biting concerning the incoming flight. It was EasyJet, from Edinburgh the night before. 10pm flight cancelled. 7am next morning. full. Scrambled to get a midday flight out. Then raced to Portsmouth! Not a particularly leisurely start! Needed a few sparkling wines on deck to calm down! I don't think anyone should be tormented with my karaoke singing!

[@jasonhamilton7023]

Thanks Bill for another great video review, and a well balanced one. Virgin Cruises do look like debauchery on the seas and if that’s what people are into, then they appear well catered to.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thanks so much Jason

[@lindasmith6072]

So far this cruise looks awesome. So much fun. Also you are some of my fav youtubers . Love your relationship - it's goals. Wishing you every success.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you so much Linda! Wishing you all the best too 😊

[@makkyroll_8157]

Also did you ever figure out how to use the hammock 😂 you sit on it like a swing and then you can extend it more in front and back of you so you’re lying perpendicular on it! Hope that makes sense! It’s very comfy!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Ha, ha yes you are right! Initially I was trying to use it like a beach type hammock, where you lie in it left to right. But by the time I had mastered it, my wife had already died from laughing!

[@antonoosthuizen0322]

not my kind of cruise....but the restaurants look absolutely amazing.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi Anton. Yes the restaurants are very good!

[@victorialeachart9578]

I enjoy a couple of other cruising channels but yours is, by far, the most entertaining and the most beautifully presented by you both. I’ve yet to plan my first cruise so I appreciate the useful information, as well. Thank you!😊

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi Victoria, many thanks indeed. Best of luck finding, and planning your first cruise!

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Great to see what you guys thought of the ship. We loved all the courses in Test Kitchen but did have the veggie options. You do an excellent job of showing all the venues. We have enjoyed watching you both experience the ship..we loved it and will hopefully be back soon! ❤

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thanks very much Guys! I'm sure you'll be back on, in 2025!

[@tracimorgan3695]

I Love VV getting ready for our 3rd sailing!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Fantastic!

[@vicbitter57]

Love you guys, keep up the good work, Virgin looks interesting lol😂

[@ritzytravelguide]

It's certainly that 🤣

[@tbro421]

Hi Bill. Nice job on Video #2. Your cinematography is outstanding. It’s also nice to see your Mrs in a true co-starring role. I agree with all of your points. The risque shows are not really for me, I’m 71 and just want to relax and enjoy the great food and the excellent value that Virgin provides. So a cruise is what you make of it. Next up I’ll try Celebrity. My best cruises so far have been themed cruises which are great regardless of cruise line and the shows are always going to be exactly what you like. Keep up the great videos. Thank you.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you Tom. Themed cruises can be great fun. I remember, years ago, going on a Murder on the Panama Canal themed cruise, set in the 1930s!

[@makkyroll_8157]

Hey! I recognize Chris the Sailor! I met him on my first VV cruise! Legend!

[@jacobkrause4094]

Yes been waiting for this one! Thanks for the reviews.

[@ritzytravelguide]

You're welcome, thanks for joining us!

[@manax8775]

Looks fun

[@clivehewins]

High really love your guides to the ships thank you! Very minor point......Aft is a direction not a location. You can walk to the Aft end of deck 14 you cannot walk to The Aft .....there us no such place. The extreme Aft end of the ship us the stern. Its like you can't walk to the forward (For'd). It's a direction not a place 😅 cheers i'm Just a Salty Old Matelot. You're very brave doing Virgin!😂

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi there, that's very interesting thank you. I enjoy nuisances of nautical terms!

[@clivehewins]

😂 honestly don't mean to be a nuisance, really really really love your videos, hope your going to go on Arcadia now she's been in for refit

[@ritzytravelguide]

@clivehewins Hi there. I hadn't realised Arcadia had been in for a refit? Has much changed? Would you recommend we go on?

[@madameyong2765]

Is the music really loud?! Do I need ear plugs? 😂 Does it get smelly in such a big crowd😜

[@ritzytravelguide]

The music can get loud. But there are always alternative venues on-board to retreat to. Don't recall it being smelly!

[@Jeff-cz3oz]

Thought maybe part 2 would change my opinion. NOPE. Definitely not my kind of cruise.

[@theodoremartine3414]

I said it last video and it still applies: this cruise line is not for me. Egads! I wouldn't go if it was free!

[@ritzytravelguide]

😂 I'll add you firmly to the no column!

[@jsmith1071]

You are missing out!

[@eboone1977]

Your loss. It is so peaceful.

[@simongreasley8643]

I didn’t last many minutes before deciding the same.

[@VindicatorFSX]

What happened to The Wake? I thought in the other video you said that was your favorite restaurant.

[@ritzytravelguide]

We like them both, very much. (Wake and Extra Virgin.) Hard to pick between them!

[@madameyong2765]

I’m sailing August 2026 and I will be 66 years old by then 😂. I will skip the Sailaway Party as I don’t drink alcohol and using a Walker might get stuck around stairs 😮 Ha!! The hammock!! I will be like a caught whale 🐳 too much of a challenge getting on and off it 😅 Definitely, there for the food and shows 👍🏻🥘🍱💃👯‍♀️

[@ritzytravelguide]

Plenty of time between now and then to dream of the food!

[@chak06880]

And this is an “adults only” cruise. It looks the opposite, especially the childish furniture. Plus, every ship looks the same, offers same menus, same shows, parties etc. How does VV get repeat pax with sameness? Thanks again Bill for extending yourself.

[@ritzytravelguide]

A pleasure John, many thanks for your comments.

[@BlaineShire]

That was the safety video?

[@ritzytravelguide]

More of a rock video!

[@BlaineShire]

@@ritzytravelguide seems that way. I sent you a message through Instagram

[@JeanineWoolet]

I love Amsterdam.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Beautiful isn't it!

[@blessednettie69]

I love your videos! Virgin is not the cruiseline for me. Beautiful ships, but No. 😊

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi there, thanks for your thoughts 😊

[@stephencollicoat1226]

Nope, not for me!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Righty ho 🤣

[@BlaineShire]

Virgin is not my kind of cruise line!

[@sq1rlsqu4d]

Relatively new viewer here and enjoy the channel, but those AI generated background images make my brain hurt 🤯

[@ritzytravelguide]

Really? I'll try a more soothing one next time... perhaps a zen spa!

[@joycelynndechert4307]

No thank you. I would not even consider going on this cruiseline. 🤢🤮

[@ritzytravelguide]

Counting you out 😂
