Loved the vibe on Virgin Voyages. The food was really excellent and like Griff said, it's really nice to eat meals in a restaurant style with friends or family or just with your significant other. And the no kids on board + no announcements just made everything so peaceful. Tons of seating spaces so no one place felt too crowded (except the main pool on a sunny sea day but that's not unexpected). We'll probably do Disney with the younger kids, Royal with older kids, and mix in Virgin when we need a mom and dad only getaway
@@trellblack171 no its not, its suppose to be vacation, not you ruining others vacation, go to a different cruise line...we don't want to hear kids like back home in the stores moommyy, buy me this, buy me that, whaaa whaaa...you don't love me or you would buy it, whaaa....kids are gross and annoying, and frankly raised wrong by modern day parents who buy them cellphones at 6 years old.
I disembarked from the Scarlet Lady 💃 this morning. It was an awesome experience! Virgin is a game changer in the industry. That said, I hope that RCCL and others continue to do what they do well. Variety is important to the industry Virgin’s food AND the service level that their staff delivered to was/is outstanding! (I’ve booked another Virgin experience for a future date ) Will I sometime do another cruise line? Absolutely! But I’m so glad I’ve experienced the differences that Virgin as brought to the plate. Deeeelishious!!
The covid process was simple/efficient. I also lost my card awhile ago but had documentation from the local health dept that sufficed. A picture may also work but I can’t validate that. I’d suggest calling Virgin directly to confirm
Kids be loud and in the way lol. And they take up all the space in the pool and jacuzzis 😆. I love kids but I'm looking forward to my Virgin Voyage Cruise lol
Scarlet lady voyage at of Miami in April 2022. I'm a foodie and this cruise offer so much variety it was amazing. Only 3rd cruise in my life. If you are an adult looking for a level above the usual this is a cruise worth joining. I enjoyed my time so much, I never left the ship for excursions. The staff was so nice, even the wait staff remains your name when they see you in other places on the ship. Very friendly.
Virgin Voyages looks amazing! My wife are veteran cruisers for 20+ years and seek cruises where there are the fewest kids on board. Vacation is about peace & enjoyment away from work or your normal everyday activities. We are also foodies & it sounds like Virgin is delivering a high level quality and interesting food choices. We look forward to the post Covid days where they are offering more then just the typical Spanish or Western Caribbean as choices. Keep up the TH-cam work … you are getting better & better at delivering your content. 😁
First video of yours that I've watched. Very well done and thoughtfully and tastefully edited! Hope to see more (from another seasoned cruiser 35+ cruises).
I love it. Because sometimes you just don’t want to be bothered. Do adult things, without kids being around. So it’s good to have this type of information. Love it. Keep doing what you do (bringing the information). Much love for you and the wife.
Very informative video! We’re cruising on Symphony of the Seas next week and then Scarlet Lady the week after that. We’ve done a fair number of cruises but this will be our first time trying Virgin Voyages. I am really looking forward to it.
Great video. Very informative. I really enjoy the way you switch the feed from you to ship elements all the while describing what we are seeing. There is one point I have to disagree with. There is no cruise line that I know of that forces anyone to dine with strangers. That was true prior to the 90s but with the advent of Freestyle Cruising, Personal Choice Dining etc., not to mention all the specialty dining options, if anyone is at a table with people they don’t know, it is of their own doing.
RE: Test Kitchen- If you are on a longer voyage (7+ days I believe) they actually switch the menu out and give you a totally new experience for the latter half of the cruise!
I loved it being adult only. I loved the food. It was amazing. The xl sea terrace was worth the cost. Chief complaint was the overpowering smell of the clean supplies. We also didnt like the ports. We didnt leave the ship in Dominican but the actual port was dirty, smelly, and noisy. Bimini was super disappointing. There was nothing to do in the water. Most places have interesting places to snorkle. No coral no fish nothing. Everything else was lovely.
Thanks for the video! I'm going as a solo traveler in November. I booked during the $200 sailors loot March sale as well as $100 free bar tab when you pre load $300.
For me, entertainment is certainly in the top 3 of my priorities for a cruise. I really think it is for lots of people, especially given the high quality entertainment found in most cruise lines!
I work with one of the largest cruise agencies in the country. I will be on the Scarlet Lady the end of June. It will be interesting to see the product. Regarding their marketing. Right now they are living off of free publicity built up over two years of "waiting."
I might be crazy but I think this guy has a tower of sealed cases of either Pokemon or Magic The Gathering cards in the background. It's the brown boxes on the right side. I zoomed in and noticed the "stop" tape. If I had to take a blind guess based on size, shape, and tape placement... I'd say Pokemon Elite Trainer Boxes.
@@CeCebetterCCme20 I didn't! I actually got a few drinks for free. The welcome party then some other gathering on the ship. I bought maybe 4 drinks total but it wasn't worth it to me to get the drink package.
I'm not a cruiser yet. My first cruise was carnival and 20 years later I'm finally getting on Holland America to Alaska. Saying this I'm praying I'm going to enjoy HAL because I'm dying to book Virgin per your reviews. That seems like the cruise for me 💜
Me and my friends are 23-25 will there be people our age there ? I can tell it's aimed more for young people but I still see that people say there was a lot of older folks on there
Just got off of RC after a week with a bunch of free range kids. After the first day, I have sworn off RC (no slam on them, it is a choice for my travel needs) because they cater to families and my kid is grown and is a fun travel partner. IMO, cruises are no place for kids unless they are older, but because that is MY feeling and why I am going with Virgin from now on. No more kids screaming at sea gulls or all the way through dinner. No more strollers in the elevators!!! No ore kid friendly shows!!! Bring on the topless sunbathing and raunchy comedy!
Ok so… I’m a drinker. I’ve been on one cruise, a royal Caribbean cruise back in October. We got the drink package and for me it’s well worth it because I had a drink in my hand all day. So how does this work with a bar tab? Lol
Most cruise lines allow you to choose your table size--you can request a table for "just us." However, we've also been on lines where the tables were so close together that you were practically "with" the people next to you. I prefer the way Virgin does it!
Been cruising for 15 years and my husband an I never sat with strangers; we always ask for a table for 2. For the bed I find them hard, so we bring a roll up mattress thingy and the steward puts it on the bed for us.
I truly hated being sat with strangers in the MDR 😫 especially bc they weren’t even in the same age group as me and my two other friends they tried they’re best to make general conversation but we really didn’t know anything about the topics so then it got even more awkward. Only happened one night thank goodness Edit* I’m also worried that virgin is for the influencers (like beauty lifestyle not actual cruise influencers) where I’m going to be concerned about not being in shape enough for the demographic? everything else about virgin sounds like a blast to me
Griff forgot to mention that all cruises leaving from US ports haven't had that kind of dining for years. They all have a my-time dining option that is open to everyone to choose. So, this wasn't a good comparison.
Agree, I feel like I'm interested but I don't feel like I'm young and trendy (and thin) enough to not feel uncomfortable. One of the things I really love about cruising is the mix of shapes, sizes, ages, everything. I feel the least self conscious ever on a cruise. I'm not sure I'd feel that way on Virgin.
The kids description part was epic. Nail hit right on the head. I was not considering Virgin until this video. Now I think I want to check one out. Question? How is the public areas? Like the pool outside lounge areas? I hate being overly crowded like on a carnival pool deck.
That was a lot of great information. I was waiting and waiting to hear the actual problem. Lol. I have 5 cruises booked in the next year and a half and Virgin is the one that I am the most excited about. It just sounds perfect.
I'm a very adventurous eater, so the food on Virgin really interests me. As someone without kids, an adults only experience is very appealing! I don't mind the kiddos, but sometimes? 🙄🙄
We just got off scarlet lady. I wasn't crazy about the food choices. I am more of a plain person when it comes to food. I just want a good chicken meal or spaghetti dinner with red sauce. Everything seemed like they tried to be over the top and too classy. I just wish they had more "normal" choices. I must have ate 15 pizzas as that was my best choice after I ate at the restaurants. The ice cream and pizza was great. The entertainment was more street performance than quality shows. The spa only had 3 hour passes, no longer day passes and I am used to week passes on ncl. Now what did I love? No kids, no upsellling, quality pizza, Bimini was amazing (but grove cabana dropped to $350 the day before arrival and wish I had got that over the $500 pool one.) It was a good experience but only once unfortunately. The xl balcony cabin was worth it for the bathroom alone. Loved the hammock on the balcony. Free soda was nice.
How does the dining work on board with paying. I've been on a royal and I know u have to pay for the special restaurants but the main in complimentary. Are any free or all with a dining package.
Usually I worry about the 'day after when consuming too much hot sauce'... ...I could only imagine what it was like after rainbow glitter churros...😆 🤣 😂
Based on the virgin cruises you’ve been on , is there a good mix of singles and couples ? A group of us are trying to plan a Virgin cruise before the year is over . Thank you !
Super interesting video and details about what to expect on Virgin. A lot of appealing things - a small thing, but I’d love not to hear constant announcements 😂
I’d totally love to hear your thoughts on it. I want to book again because I keep gaining new perspectives. Not many creators in the space have gone to check it out except for a select few!
Hi, thx so much for the info, i do know now it is not my cup of tea and since i have been on 80 plus cruises, i do know what i want and i will go to those cruise lines for my travel. And thats ok there are cruises for everyone and what I like i don’t expect everyone else to like And i will never judge anyone on their choices as i do not want to be judged on my choice of cruise line😊🚢
Other vloggers cruise videos looked like it was all people over 50 years old.. like 80% over 50.. if you had to pick a percent from your experience what would you say? Thanks
Hmm… Can’t say I agree. It’s different that’s for sure. A little too “adult” for my taste. But hey, that’s the beauty of cruises. There is literally something for everyone!
I don't see the "gift" clickable link for Virgin that you spoke of :/ QUESTION: can the bed be separated to 2 twins, for just friends sharing an inside cabin??
Thank you Griff and Alyssa! Does Virgin have a Quest? If so I want to hear the details. And I'll just say no to crickets in my drink thank you very much. And please you two, don't leave You Tube!
A friend said the people sat next to her in the Korean barbecue restaurant was not interested in talking to her at all. Not a good experience. Other restaurants are good.
I’ve only done adults only cruising and charters. I’m looking forward to trying a Virgin cruise for this reason alone. I’ll never cruise with kids. Love mine but don’t want to vacation with them.
Interesting, I think Richard Branson seems like a cool guy but I wouldn't want a Virgin cruise because they only use Flags of Convenience, which is something I strongly want to avoid for moral reasons. I want a ship where the crew is paid well and has the worker protections of 1st world country, so I would want to be on flags like France, UK, USA, Italy, Norway. Which leaves me a lot of choices -- there's only large cruise ship that's USA flag, but Italy, Norway and UK have several ships each -- so I would likely go with one of those! :)
Nice review and good visuals! But I'm way not cool enough for this cruise line...plus it will be 10 years+ before we get our little "drink spillers" out of the house, lol.
Oh my, I'd forgotten all about Virgin Cola lol! And sitting with strangers? It's a huge nope from us. Not that we're unsociable, but we find it awkward and like you said Griff, we did it once and they never showed up again. Eeek! 😱 Once bitten and all that.. Anyway, great video dude. Thanks. :)
Good information! I am looking at the valiant lady transatlantic 10/2023. I am not sure if we will fit in. We are mid- 60’s. Not really into parties and drinking. We like a ship with good innovative food , entertainment and music. Will I be able to find enough to do in the 14 day voyage?
I would say no. The galley food never changed and that was disappointing. And not much to do on board unless you like spa and fitness things. Entertainment was dire. Lovely ship if you can get off on excursions a lot.
Mate Ryan Reynolds is taking over the damn world . He's gonna be the next Elon musk or something . Can't wait to see wrexham in the premier League . As for virgin , Im still not sure sold . I'm a solo cruiser , ambassador and NCL do more for me . I'm tempted tho .
Wow!! This is one of the best reviews i have seen of Virgin!! It really makes me want to go!! Do they sponsor you?? Lol 😂 !! Just kidding! Thanks for the review! I’m going! I’m sold!

Deeeelishious!!
I am going soon but lost my vaccine card! I have a picture will that work? How does the onboarding/ COVID process work?
The covid process was simple/efficient. I also lost my card awhile ago but had documentation from the local health dept that sufficed. A picture may also work but I can’t validate that. I’d suggest calling Virgin directly to confirm
@@thenewjersygirl Was in the same boat. Took my picture to Walgreens and they made me another card. Problem solved!

Enjoy! Especially since the pool on the Scarlet Lady is small. No kids!

Great video summarizing Virgin. We found it very refreshing and enjoyed the difference from other lines so much we booked again for February 2023.
This was very well put together! Enjoy it!
Thanks guys!
Cruises never appealed to me in general, until I started looking into Virgin. You make this sound like it IS right up my alley.

I actually have seen several commercials on cable TV just about when the cruise was starting its sailings...they felt...exclusive. Lol

They need to improve the pool situation in future ship designs.
The main pool is tiny and it's the only one.
You make this cruise sound fabulous. Definitely will consider cruising with Virgin.
I do appreciate their private island concept of having 4 areas.
Please don't quit. Love your vids!
I've seen commercials for Virgin on TV. A woman sings Madonna's "Like A Virgin" while an image of one of their ships is shown.
Sounds like bliss. No kids, quiet spots, no forced dinner "buddies", and not charged for everything. Sign me up.
Thanks for the review. You make it tempting to try.
I might be crazy but I think this guy has a tower of sealed cases of either Pokemon or Magic The Gathering cards in the background. It's the brown boxes on the right side. I zoomed in and noticed the "stop" tape.

Can you do a break down in cost once you got on board? Like drinks, activities cost?
Yeah because I’m
A drinker when I’m in n vacation and i don’t wanna walk away with a $500 bar tab at the end of the cruise lol
Great video! But where is the gift link you mentioned?

The question I have is, is the experience good enough to support word of mouth and repeat customers without tv ads? It sounds great to me by the way.
FYI - In the UK, Virgin Voyages advertises quite frequently on the radio!
That’s so fascinating to me! We’ve heard nothing on our end. It’s either non existent or very minimal. Thanks for sharing!
and TV..
Thanks Griff, We go on scarlet lady next Sunday.
If you want a super-comfortable soft bed, book Princess or Oceania.

I think Virgin Voyages sounds amazing….as an avid cruiser I can’t wait to try it.
I agree that the food should reflect or represent the culture or people of the different port stops.

Well this sounds like the perfect cruise for us! First time viewer and new subscriber. You two are adorable :)

Based on the virgin cruises you’ve been on , is there a good mix of singles and couples ? A group of us are trying to plan a Virgin cruise before the year is over . Thank you !
Royal Caribbean mattresses are sooo hard. BUT if you stay in a suite on Royal, you get an upgraded mattress 🤣
Always enjoyed your content! Thanks for doing what you do.
Griff, great video! How was the internet on the ship?
Best internet in my opinion. Very reasonable prices compared to others.
PEPSI > VIRGIN COLA ;D
I will agree with you there!
They filmed a behind the scenes documentary which should be on soon on channel 5 uk - they filmed us too.
So happy to get the alerts again for our people 🔥🔥🔥😎
Super interesting video and details about what to expect on Virgin. A lot of appealing things - a small thing, but I’d love not to hear constant announcements 😂
I'm just thankful that the cruiselines have eliminated the announcements in 7 languages. Talk about boring 😴!!! Great vlog Griff.Thank you.
I’d totally love to hear your thoughts on it. I want to book again because I keep gaining new perspectives. Not many creators in the space have gone to check it out except for a select few!
THANKS.
Hi, thx so much for the info, i do know now it is not my cup of tea and since i have been on 80 plus cruises, i do know what i want and i will go to those cruise lines for my travel. And thats ok there are cruises for everyone and what I like i don’t expect everyone else to like
And i will never judge anyone on their choices as i do not want to be judged on my choice of cruise line😊🚢

I’m an introvert and the idea of sitting with strangers at the dining room does not excite me. I’ll stick with RCCL lol
To clarify Virgin spreads you out, other cruise lines often sit you together with other people u less you specify you need additional space.
12:16-13:22
1.)You just did.
2.)People like you.
You can requerst private table on any cruise line by talking to them at the main dinning room they are happy to do it for you ... fyi
Sounds like a good first cruise for a couple of 60 somethings
Hi from Las Vegas
Lol they made a new ad like you said they were lacking and i liked it so I looked it up. That’s how I found this video
You did a perfect job of selling me on a Virgin cruise (and subscribing to your channel); great video.
Excellent video!
Thank you!
The virgain voyage ad in like almost the end she said bul- and they cut to say a bad word😂😂😂
Best bait and switch ever. 🥳
KIDS: "Adults, enjoy the cruise. We know you deserve it, but the fact we can't go is total bull-" 🤣🤣
Very well done. Thanks
Hmm… Can’t say I agree. It’s different that’s for sure. A little too “adult” for my taste. But hey, that’s the beauty of cruises. There is literally something for everyone!
Let’s debate!
Have you ever been to Vegas?
@@GriffandAlyssa I have, also not my cup of tea.
@@beachymamaadventures debate over lol alyssa Hates Vegas too 😉 this ship is for you! Haha

A friend said the people sat next to her in the Korean barbecue restaurant was not interested in talking to her at all. Not a good experience. Other restaurants are good.
I’ve only done adults only cruising and charters. I’m looking forward to trying a Virgin cruise for this reason alone. I’ll never cruise with kids. Love mine but don’t want to vacation with them.
Ouch, poor kids. Sitting at home all day
@@ElectroTechnolgy They're grown and have given me two grandchildren so it's all good. 😉

Sunglasses and hats!
@@GriffandAlyssa Well you two do travel a lot! Keep up the good work!
Interesting, I think Richard Branson seems like a cool guy but I wouldn't want a Virgin cruise because they only use Flags of Convenience, which is something I strongly want to avoid for moral reasons. I want a ship where the crew is paid well and has the worker protections of 1st world country, so I would want to be on flags like France, UK, USA, Italy, Norway. Which leaves me a lot of choices -- there's only large cruise ship that's USA flag, but Italy, Norway and UK have several ships each -- so I would likely go with one of those! :)
Nice review and good visuals! But I'm way not cool enough for this cruise line...plus it will be 10 years+ before we get our little "drink spillers" out of the house, lol.
Oh my, I'd forgotten all about Virgin Cola lol! And sitting with strangers? It's a huge nope from us. Not that we're unsociable, but we find it awkward and like you said Griff, we did it once and they never showed up again. Eeek! 😱 Once bitten and all that.. Anyway, great video dude. Thanks. :)
Good information! I am looking at the valiant lady transatlantic 10/2023. I am not sure if we will fit in. We are mid- 60’s. Not really into parties and drinking. We like a ship with good innovative food , entertainment and music. Will I be able to find enough to do in the 14 day voyage?
I would say no. The galley food never changed and that was disappointing. And not much to do on board unless you like spa and fitness things. Entertainment was dire. Lovely ship if you can get off on excursions a lot.
soooo not necessarily for "older" folks?.....I'm 57, like to still party like I'm 21, but unfortunately my body def looks my age.
Are alcoholic drinks included?
what a goood ~Griff-
The 90s were the best.
Loved the video, subbed, hope to always see you around, you are a star...best wishes...
Mate Ryan Reynolds is taking over the damn world . He's gonna be the next Elon musk or something . Can't wait to see wrexham in the premier League . As for virgin , Im still not sure sold . I'm a solo cruiser , ambassador and NCL do more for me . I'm tempted tho .
Wow!! This is one of the best reviews i have seen of Virgin!! It really makes me want to go!! Do they sponsor you?? Lol 😂 !! Just kidding! Thanks for the review! I’m going! I’m sold!
Is booze included? I hate that they are only 5 days though. What's up with that? Thinking about it though.
Booze is not included. They have a bar tab. Reasonably priced drinks.
