I'm on my husbands account but have to say as a American your voice is so incredible to listen to while explaining all of this. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and must say it's the best I've watched yet. I'm going on a 2 day in Nov for our anniversary so not enough days to try it all and we booked so close to sailing majority is booked. So pink agave is the first night and test kitchen is the second. I'm so excited 🙌🏼
This was incredibly thorough and well done! We are sailing in a couple months and this helped us plan out our dinners - and also made us hungry. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great review, really informative thank you. Can I ask, do all of the 'speciality' type restaurants such as wake, pink agave, extra virgin etc have a lunch/brunch menu or is it just wake and razzle dazzle?
I would recommend if you are able to bring flavor packs. You can get free fizzy water and add your water flavor packs to make your own soda. I only went on the cruise once but looking forward to another cruise with Virgin soon.
Thank you! It was very informative! Exactly what i was looking for. How about the timing? I don’t understand how you choose the time and if it is limited. And when is the show (to make sure i won’t miss it)
Thank you so much! You can book times on Virgin's app when you're making a reservation Typically there's one at 6.30 and one at 10pm of memory recalls :) times do vary though :)
Thank you for all the details on dairy free and how Virgin should make accommodations the day before. I am vegan pescatarian, so I really appreciate your giving lots of comments about making things go smoother. Thanks for letting me know about the vegan pizza good focal point,.😊😊
Great video thanks. I also have a diary intolerance and found all venues to be very accommodating except for Extra Virgin. I do not know why that venue struggles to adapt the dishes when the other venues have no problem with it.
Hey there - this was a gifted trip by Virgin and although we mostly enjoyed the food on offer, there's several points in the video, especially regarding Ieuan's Dairy intolerance where I'm highlighting areas that could be improved. I'm sorry to hear you don't trust my review but I'm sure there's other reviews you can look out for should you require them :)
I can't help myself Did you take responsibility for special dietary requirements by informing prior to embarkation? At booking? Travel Agent? Sailor services? It doesn't sound like you did. Sorry but you have whined for a little too long about your special dairy free drama.
Hey there :) Yes we did, at booking with Virgin Voyages, again in email correspondence before the cruise and once onboard we went to each restaurant the day before in an attempt to pre-order to avoid any issues. Therefore, I wanted to highlight this as it was the only area we felt Virgin fell down :)
Me and my partner are also dairy intolerant. It is an intolerance, not an allergy. You just pick options that contain a small amount of dairy. You either pick dairy-free options or go vegan. I would not expect them to have a whole different menu to cater for an intolerance. Definitely a bit whiney.
We did a short cruise from Melbourne to Hobart and back - only four nights but we managed to eat at The Test Kitchen, The Wake, Pink Agave and Gumbae - all very good with lovely food and service. The food on this ship is exceptional and there are so many choices and the best part is that the high-end restaurants are incuded in your fare. The only additional cost is for oysters and lobster at a couple of the restaurants. Couldn't be faulted.
The food looks absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing!
It really is ❤️ My pleasure!
Great information and such a detailed explanation of what to expect.
Thank you so much!

Thank you very much! You'll have a great time I'm sure ♥️
All of the food looks great! We can’t wait to try as much as we can in August 😋
Thanks! You'll have a fantastic time I'm sure ❤️

Glad you found it useful!
My pleasure ❤️
Thank you so much for the information. I can’t wait to try out the options on our cruise later this year.
My pleasure! Hope you have an amazing time ❤️
Very tasty, very thorough. Thank you so much! Cruising with Valiant Lady next month so this is preparing me well. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a fantastic time
The foods look great. Now im hungry! Thanks
The food is amazing! Lots of it too so you won't be hungry for long 😂
Great review, really informative thank you. Can I ask, do all of the 'speciality' type restaurants such as wake, pink agave, extra virgin etc have a lunch/brunch menu or is it just wake and razzle dazzle?
Thank you so much!
With the exception of The Galley, only Razzle Dazzle and The Wake do Brunch
Hey man, thanks so much for doing this.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Best video ever! this made my choice so easy and thanks for the detailed information. Its going to be rough for me has I have a ton of food allergies.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🚢
I'm sure they'll be happy to accommodate any allergies you have!
Hope you have an amazing time ❤️
Very Helpful Mate !!!!
Thank you!
Awesome video! Where were you docked when you were showing The Wake?
Thank you! We were docked in Kotor, Montenegro 🇲🇪
Great video! Thanks for the intel
My pleasure :)
I'm booked on this ship for Feb 2025 and I can't wait!!
Woohooo you'll have a fantastic time!
I'm diabetic, were there any diet sodas other than Diet Coke?
I think it was just diet coke and coke zero!
I would recommend if you are able to bring flavor packs. You can get free fizzy water and add your water flavor packs to make your own soda.
I only went on the cruise once but looking forward to another cruise with Virgin soon.
What about gluten free options?
Hey there - from what we've seen there's a good variety but can't comment personally as neither of us are gluten intolerant :)
Thank you! It was very informative! Exactly what i was looking for. How about the timing? I don’t understand how you choose the time and if it is limited. And when is the show (to make sure i won’t miss it)

Interesting you had a similar issue with Extra Virgin 🤔
how does eating on the cruises work? I can’t see any prices…but take it that it’s not all inclusive….
Hey there - all the dining options are included in your fare! The only exception to this is 'Another Rose' and Afternoon Tea 🚢
How much was Another Rose as I couldn’t find it?
nice tour thanks.....sailing march 5...have a better idea of what I'll be eating....
Glad you enjoyed! Hope you have a great time 🚢
BRAVO!!!!! I’m cruising on this ship in 2025
Thank you so much! Hope you have a great time :)
Us too 😊
I take the lactose pills. Problem solved.
Hey there :) Sadly that doesn't help him!
A little biased? Free cruise? media voyage? B.S.

Great video Matthew. Very thorough and extremely helpful as we sail this year on Resilient Lady and VV for the first time. 👍🛳👍
Thank you so much! You'll have a fabulous time 🚢❤️
