VIDEO: 7 Reasons Virgin Voyages Might Not Be for You
Virgin Voyages might not suit your vibe, from dining and entertainment to pools, planning, drinks, and price, with practical advice before you book.
Virgin Voyages does things differently, and those differences will not suit every vacation. In this video, David explores seven potential dealbreakers, from small pools and dining preferences to entertainment, planning, drinks, and price, while explaining why many of those same features keep us coming back.
What We Cover
- Adults-only sailing: Why the minimum age of 18 rules out a vacation with younger children, and what we enjoy about an adult environment.
- Small pools and no waterslides: The difference between wanting a relaxing dip and making swimming the center of your vacation, including the Wellbeing Pool.
- A different approach to dining: How The Galley replaces the traditional buffet, why restaurant menus matter, and why the format may not suit every preference.
- Entertainment and an open mind: Original productions instead of familiar licensed musicals, The Diva and drag entertainment, plus David’s thoughts on the paid cabaret dinners Another Rose on Resilient Lady and Up With a Twist on Brilliant Lady.
- A little advance planning: Why restaurant reservations deserve attention, with our pre-sailing booking video explaining what to prioritize and what can wait.
- Bar Tab instead of a standard unlimited drinks package: How prepaid drinks credit works and why Mega RockStar drinks benefits are a separate suite perk with limits, rather than a reason to assume every drink is free.
- Price and overall value: Why the lowest fare is not the only comparison, David’s experience finding a Sail & Save deal, and where to compare sailings and eligible offers.
