I was waiting for y’all to do this video . I didn’t know about the unisex bathroom situation . I do plan to sail virgin at least once , but It hasn’t been a cruise line I have prioritized. I HATE the lack of closet and storage space. I also don’t like the late boarding time either . Thanks for sharing such good info .
My sister and I were supposed to be here with ya'll, but she passed from cancer out of the blue. But very cool to see where we would have been and how it all went. For us it would have been great, as we have nothing to compare it to. We would not have liked food complications. So cool you handled that mess.
Your channel came up on my feed and I’m so glad it did! I really enjoyed watching your video. Love your energy! You brought something different to the cruise video section on these TH-cam streets and was very honest and fun! 60 looks so fabulous on you!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@HangingwiththeBrowns I feel like your judgment of the unisex restrooms are a bit unfair...being that you could have walked to a stand alone mens room. Unless you are impaired in some way. I also feel like more people including yourself especially being TH-camrs should actually do adequate research before booking Virgin. To judge a ship on esthetics is wild..chair fabric etc a bit much. Some people have preferences and that's respected ..however some people are used to the old style of cruising...meaning lanyards, assigned dinner times, 24.00 cases of water and Titanic style decor...then Virgin is definitely not for you
On this trip, the toilet was a big deal for him, and with that being said... it really mattered. One thing that stood out to us was the design of the ship. I'm used to the openness on Royal Caribbean ships, and I personally prefer an open floor plan (even in my home). This ship, like all ships, was made of metal and painted, but they incorporated a lot of fabric on the adult seating areas. Unfortunately, the fabric wasn't clean, which is a concern for me. I appreciate when ships go for a different style or approach, but for me, cleanliness is key. Another issue I noticed was the lack of staff presence. I couldn’t find anyone to ask questions, which made the experience a bit frustrating, especially since it was our first trip with this cruise line. While we would consider going again, it won’t be anytime soon. I guess I like the Titanic!
My wife and I cruise a lot and we hated everything about Virgin. We had the worst experience, especially with the crew and food. I wouldn’t mind giving them another chance I think, but my wife said she will never!!!
@@freejyou the test kitchen was horrible, the staff at gumba did not play the drinking game with us while everyone else did, the wakes food was ok, but the waiter was very rude and showed us he did not care and we did not like eating the same thing every. Also, no one could make a mixed drink so I had to get beer. The last straw was a bar tender served all white people and let me hanging. I was mad and finally went to guest service which is something I never do. Did I mention we were in a suite. They promised me everything at dinner and we received nothing and I refused to ask. We were the first ones off the ship and vowed never to go back. We love Norwegian, royal and carnival.
@JuanKindrick Oh my. That was awful and so sorry you had such an awful experience. I have to agree the test kitchen is not for everyone. All my trips on Virgin I don't waste a booking there. Certainly The Wake is not the best steak on board. I'm not adventurous when it comes to eating so I tend to stick with food I'm familiar with so I'm not left to not enjoy the experience. I'm still amiss as to how the waiter did not offer to play the drinking game. Were you at a table alone without any other guest? I can't see them just coming up to you all throwing food on the grill and not offering.
5 minutes into the video and they are still complaining about unisex bathrooms. Then they like the fact that Virgin is an adult cruise where they can touch each other. My mind is blown 😂
Now if I saw this comment before the ship my mindset would’ve been different. Thank you for this comment. That might make the trip different 💜💜💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 thank you
Love the informative and real information. You all share details and Answer questions many people often have when looking for cruise videos
Glad it was helpful!

Did you know ahead of time only unisex bathrooms?
No. They are not all unisex but a few

@@JuanKindrick Curious to know what happened with the food? And what was your experience with the crew if you don't mind me asking?
🤣. So we will leave them at the shore and we go back🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Wait let’s make it a couples trip 💃🏽💃🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. But for real we are loyal to royal 🥰🥰

@@HangingwiththeBrowns we love Royal too, but Norwegian is a bit better in our opinion!! Oh, and we love carnival as well!!!

Good point about the carbon emissions
💕💜💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🚢🚢 thank you
60 looks good on you. Last year we celebrated my 70th at sea, and hope/plan to continue the tradition. Cruising keeps you young 😊
That is awesome! Yes it does🥰🥰
You guys are funny, enjoyed your video. Going on Virgin next week for the first time.
You will enjoy it!!! 🙌🏽💃🏽💃🏽🛳️🛳️
Thanks for the info
You bet
I enjoyed this review…going on Virgin in January! Happy Fabulous Birthday! 🎉
THANK YOU 🎁🎂🙌🏽🛳️🛳️💃🏽💃🏽

🤣🤣 we are 60 and bathrooms are a little important 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. Thanks for noting that 💜💜💜
Thanks so much
You look fabulous 🎉party on. Happy Birthday!
YES!!! thanks
This is yacht style cruising. americans are not use to this on a big ship plus, no children.
I think so..most people have become accustomed to the other cruise lines. Virgin is not to be compared. Their style and format is totally different.
Now if I saw this comment before the ship my mindset would’ve been different. Thank you for this comment. That might make the trip different 💜💜💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 thank you
I agree with him about the Bathrooms....that ship was ugly
😳🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤️❤️❤️
Yall are cute
Thank you. Traveling at 60! 🛳️🛳️💃🏽💃🏽💜💜💜💜
