The true value of the “Splash of Romance” package shines through on extended cruises. The daily juice perk alone offers significant savings. Coupled with the other luxurious benefits, it undoubtedly enriches the cruising experience.
How to Book
Go to the Add-ons section in the Virgin Voyages app or website and select Splash of Romance. As each Splash of Romance add-on includes two sailors it will be automatically assigned to the sailor purchasing the package, you do not need to assign it to both sailors. Don’t worry as you will both be recognized at the port!
Final Verdict
The “Splash of Romance” package isn’t just about the tangible benefits; it’s about elevating the cruise experience, introducing moments of luxury, relaxation, and indulgence. For those on longer voyages or those seeking these added luxuries, it’s a clear winner. However, those on shorter trips or with a tight itinerary might want to weigh the benefits against their planned activities.
