Yay! We made the video in the sail away party! LOL I was so excited to see you two but was too nervous to go up to you...even though at one point during sail away, Griff was literally right next to us filming. Love your videos!!
I went on a virgin voyages cruise in 2022. I’m a bit older than their market. I enjoyed most of it. But, I was totally over the younger cruisers blaming me for all their issues! Excuse me! I could never afford such a wonderful vacation at your age! They were very vocal!
I have been on 2 Virgin Voyages, both to Bimini. I am older than the average guest and this cruise was packed to the gills. Yes, everything is included but the issue is that the system in which to book the restaurants is horrible. Everyone wants the Steakhouse and the Italian and it is impossible to get into these unless you book it online within the first minute it is allowed, which we could not. Were told to book onboard which was a also impossible . One night we waited at the Italian restaurant at 6 pm to reserve and were told only at the bar which was full, then someone came up and cancelled their 6 pm reservation and we took it. We sat for over an hour and saw lots of vacant tables. They hold the tables until the next reservation which is crazy. They should tell everyone like land based restaurants that if you do not show up within 15 minutes of your reservation, the table is given away. We said something to the host and she just said it was the way she was told. The rooms are small and look like they were designed by IKEA (no joke). Very little storage room for a 4 days cruise. Bimini Beach Club was so crowded that we could not get a chair. The people who were sitting next to our friends, came right off the boat, put their towels down and spent 3 hours on the beach before coming back. Not Fair. I paid a beach attendant $20 to find 2 chairs for us and he could only find 1 in the entire resort. Not enough chairs around the pool and the seating at the back of the ship gets so hot because no air flow. It is basically a free for all on Virgin. Sometimes there has to be some system like other cruise lines. If you are over 45, don't waste your money.
I loved both of my cruises on Scarlet Lady!! Trying and vying to get on Valiant Lady soon!! Kid free zone, no nickle and diming, no constant announcements over the PA, they ARE quite literally the bees knees!
I think that black envelope was a VIP invite to PDiddys Onboard "Take that" " Take that " Party . 😮 but they seen he dont make bail so they scooping them back up.
I don’t drink nowadays, I can’t dance and I loathe hyper noisy venues. Having said this, you guys made it look like such great fun I’d be up for a group cruise with you all 🎉
Thank you both for making these videos!! As someone who only cruise 1x a year or even 1x every 2 years, picking the correct cruise can be hard. Spending that kind of money and having a negative experience sucks and to find influencers who actually speak the truth is hard to come by now. I have to say that hubby and I are Royal Caribbean fans due to the shows and their staff!! We really want to try their sister ship!! I know you all compared them in the past, would you be able to compare them again?
We had an absolute blast on this cruise, and we’d highly recommend joining a Griff and Alyssia group cruise. They took an already fun trip and made it even better!
We're just back from our 1st, 12-night VV. Yes we had a good time. We got invited to a couple of secret parties and my hudband discovered the pins you collect from the Happening crew. There is a freshness and coolness with this ship. But being honest, it wasnt my favorite cruise ship experience. We had all our restaurants booked before we got on but i ended up cancelling all 2nd time visits, bar, The Wake and Test Kitchen. I thought the food was good but honestly, i dont know why people rave about it. Its the same food, they never change it. At the grab and go fridge, they have the same 2 salads everyday and the same sandwiches. The nightlife is good but there isnt any outside bars, bar the one over the wake restaurant which closes early. Theres no real soul to the ship. Everything looks ultra fab but on second observations, its really not that exceptional. My friend asked me what i meant, and i told her, " It's fur coat but no knickers", if that makes sense. The staff although were extremely professional and pleasant, there was no real warmth there. Table service staff were definitely the nicest and most chatty, which we love. Would i go back? Yes but only if the ship was visiting places i wanted to see abd the price was right. I wouldnt recommend VV as i think theres better cruise ship experiences out there for the same price. Im not being excessively critical but being 100% honest. Hopefully it might help someone to decide if theyre on the fence
I have always been intrigued with Virgin Voyages. I’ve heard that the food is amazing and the entertainment is a lot different but I’ve only cruised with Disney (5th one on the Treasure in 2025) so I’m not sure if it would be geared towards what I like 😂
If Don Terrace was a couple it would be them. They should call their channel the cruise complaint department. Every video. I'm so shocked they did this. 😭😭
Yup I felt Griff on that Boy George note lol, however I have heard of the name. 😂 I also don't understand people saying yall "complain" this is literally a review that critique's everything from top to bottom in efforts to compare it to the ratings. Yall are doiong amazing! I also want to buy yall's course, hoping the sale continues until the end of the month!!
Most of their comments were positive, so I'm not sure what video you watched if you thought they only discussed negatives. The very few negatives they did mention were minor, and no different then what other youtubers have pointed out. If you don't like them or only come to say negative things, just don't watch their videos.
My wife and I hated everything about Virgin. The customer service was the worst for us. No one could make a decent drink and we did not like most of the food. The suite was the only thing we liked. We will never sail again!!!! Oh, and it’s boring as hell!!!
Well guys. The toilet positioned that knees are not rammed into the wall or shower. Quick 15 minute shower and wash hair. Definitely 1 person at a time. Alyssa passion fruit is my fav 😋😋😋. Funny I can eat calamari but can’t bring myself to try octopus 🐙🤢😂. Polenta goat cheese thing on a stick 😂. Would try cuz of the cheese. Gunbae looks loud and lively 😂. Pajama party 😎. Will be on Resilient Lady in March 🙌🏼. Thanks for sharing 🤗

I can’t stop laughing she said I am better than you . That was so funny! I love her ! Funny funny !🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂 .
In case you are curious what Gunbae means, it means cheers or empty glass.
😮 how do you not know who Boy George is? Damn, I’d love to meet him🎉
The way he said “Pit Bull” cracked me up. 😂 I love it.
Who is Boy George lol. The food, games and entertainment looked wonderful.

Off topic question: Where is Griff's shirt from that he had on in the first part of the video? I think my hubby would like it.
I’d like to try Virgin, but I don’t want to leave my four year old daughter behind. We’ve never spent the night apart.
Hey yo Griff!!!! Appreciate the shout out. We had a blast on this group cruise, cant wait to do it again!
Any time! Loved having you guys on!!!
In this episode of the complaint squad.
The black envelope usually contains a "shore excursion" ticket or voucher
I heard this is a swingers cruise. Is that true?
I'm hosting a VV cruise during superbowl time. It'll also be my first Virgin Voyages cruise. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
I loved both of my cruises on Scarlet Lady!! Trying and vying to get on Valiant Lady soon!! Kid free zone, no nickle and diming, no constant announcements over the PA, they ARE quite literally the bees knees!
Let me guess.. you hated everything. Right?
This just shows that you watched none of the video. You can tell they enjoyed this cruise just by watching the first 2 minutes. It’s called clickbait
Clickbaiting is the only way they’ll get pushed by TH-cam, all cruisetube channels are struggling with this. Just watch the video and forget the title
How many cruises did you take with you virgin to get the dock perk and other perks? Tx
6 =]
I subscribed!
Had to laugh that he didn't know who Boy George is.
Oh wow, you guy's were on the Cruise after mine......I wanted to go on that Cruise but I was booked for Utopia.
I need those earrings you’re wearing at Gumbae!!!
I loved the golden horizon without the basil….
I think that black envelope was a VIP invite to PDiddys Onboard "Take that" " Take that " Party . 😮 but they seen he dont make bail so they scooping them back up.
Which gimbal is that?
I love they have a Korean restaurant and they are using traditional metal chopsticks.
HOW DOES GRIFF NOT KNOW WHO BOY GEORGE IS?!?
I just don't get how dang small the shower is! What if you are a very big person? Forced to buy a suite?
I don’t drink nowadays, I can’t dance and I loathe hyper noisy venues. Having said this, you guys made it look like such great fun I’d be up for a group cruise with you all 🎉

Goat cheese polenta on a stick? How bizarre! Haha! Glad its good.
The octopus must have walnuts because im allergic and they made mine on a different grill with no sauce.
Blink 181 is the best!!!!! 😂
Only off by 1!!! LOL🤣
@@Pantherjonvideos griff will get it
Hahahaa this is such a top tier comment! IYKYK
Bigger than Iceana’s showers. As a small person it was difficult even for me!
We had an absolute blast on this cruise, and we’d highly recommend joining a Griff and Alyssia group cruise. They took an already fun trip and made it even better!
I agree, hope you two are doing well, can't wait til the next one!
Cheers to the next one, it was a pleasure to have you all!
@@GriffandAlyssa we definitely need to do another group cruise 🛳
I dont know who Boy George is too lol
Wait, was the bar soap charcoal soap or African black soap. I might be disappointed if it was African black soap; I love that bar soap. 😔
Perfect vid. Were sailing Valiant Lady in 38 days! I need the deets! ❤ you guys!

What was the speed of the internet

Locked In!!!!! 🔒
LOCK IN G 🔐
Uninvited to the party!🤣
I love that they have the hand soap in there. I always bring our own because I hate the bars!
Love your videos !!!
Thank you!!
Love to complain 😮
Alyssa, love the glasses. Where do you get them?
This looks like hell on earth. Thanks for the warning. Never.
Your daughter is cute as a button but I was happy to see y'all have some alone time to unwind and have fun. Great review.
If Don Terrace was a couple it would be them.
They should call their channel the cruise complaint department. Every video. I'm so shocked they did this.
😭😭
I don't care for the Ikea style furniture on Virgin.
An adult cruise without Noa. You must miss here but enjoy your adult time.

I loved most of the food. It was the best part of the trip. Agreed, the activities were not to my liking. I had little to do during the day.
First
Well guys. The toilet positioned that knees are not rammed into the wall or shower. Quick 15 minute shower and wash hair. Definitely 1 person at a time. Alyssa passion fruit is my fav 😋😋😋.

That’s so exciting!!!
That restaurant was my least favorite. They need to replace it in my opinion.
Not the same without Noa!! 😔
❤
Where Noah?❤
Virgin Voyages is adults-only (18 years and over).
Sorry, Alyssa. I'm a Gay white guy and I have a crush on Griff. Wanna see more of him, and his adorable daughter. Not you, as much.......
Well, sorry Tim, I’m a straight, white female and Alyssa is my fave 😍 so she must stay 😘 ( and Griff and Noa obvs!)
Really…?? 🤦♀️
What 😂
How does your husband not know who Boy George is 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
19:45 I see what you did there
