The cabanas on Virgin Voyages promise an exclusive, upscale experience, offering Sailors a semi-private retreat amidst the ship’s lively atmosphere. But is the cost and service provided worth it for an enhanced cruising experience?

Cabana Options

Virgin Voyages offers two types of cabanas:

  • Small Cabana: Accommodates up to 4 Sailors for $250.
  • Large Cabana: Accommodates up to 8 Sailors for $350.

Cabana Amenities

Virgin Voyages’ cabanas are designed for comfort and convenience. Each cabana features comfortable seating, including a day bed and chairs, perfect for lounging. You’ll also have a dedicated server (via a big red button!) to attend to your needs, ensuring you don’t have to lift a finger during your relaxing day. Fresh towels are provided, along with a mini refrigerator stocked with refillable water. Complimentary food menu from Sun Club Café are available, and additional drinks can be purchased as desired. As an added bonus, each booking includes a $40 onboard credit ($80 for the large cabana).

Important Information

  • Availability: Cabanas are available daily from 9 am to 6 pm.
  • Capacity: The small cabana accommodates up to 4 Sailors, while the large cabana fits up to 8.
  • Check-In: Upon arrival, head to The Athletic Club, where a crew member will assist you with your cabana.

The Cabana Experience: Is It Worth It?

While the cabanas offer a comfortable and semi-private space with stunning ocean views, the value for money is a consideration. The steep reservation cost doesn’t include exclusive food or beverage packages with only a small on board credit to spend.

Pros

On the positive side, the cabanas offer a front-row seat to the ocean views, making them a perfect spot for those who enjoy lounging by the sea. However, with many free and equally comfortable lounging options available onboard, some Sailors might find the cost of these cabanas a bit high.

Ultimately, the cabanas are ideal for those who value convenience over spend, a dedicated lounging area, and the perks of added service.

Cons

The cabanas are located on busy sun decks corridors, raising concerns about privacy. Although they are billed as semi-private, the high visibility and proximity to public areas might not provide the secluded experience some Sailors are looking for.

The huts are also pretty far removed from the main pool area should you want to utilize the pools or hot tubs on deck.
