Virgin has totally knocked it out of the ballpark with everything. The ship is beautiful, the F&B Rocks, the crew was amazing. They've done so many things perfectly for me and what I expect a modern, lifestyle cruise line would deliver. I've already rebooked with them for a Transatlantic in November 2022 and will be booking either an Ibiza itinerary or Mykonos itinerary for 2022 as well.
The lifestyle approach means everything is curated to a discerning and forward thinking guest. Every detail is just right, the other passengers get it and are forward thinking - I felt as though I was surrounded by a peer group, not a group of 60 somethings who yearn for the past.
For a brand new line, just launching, their level of execution was amazing as well. From check-in (even with them being subjected to Covid requirements that are more difficult in the cruise industry than any other industry), to boarding, to port visits and to disembarkation, the process was easy, straightforward and enjoyable.
