  • Welcome aboard Valiant Lady. Virgin Voyages is completely different than any their cruise line. In fact, they're a cruise line that's not even called a cruise line. Many things were a hit, some were amiss, but overall, it was a very different experience than any of the mainstream lines.
    Hope you enjoy!

    I’m only six minutes in, but I’ve probably watched 30-40 videos on Virgin Voyages already since I can’t wait for my cruise departure in April, and your video is by far one of my favorites. Your energy is fantastic and I love the pace of the video. The editing is phenomenal too. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos - already subscribed!

    I did a Virgin Yoyages Curise in the beginning of 2023 and it was fun. I think of Virgin Yoyages as a carnival cruise but with a civilized crowd, respectable crew, free fine or specialty dining, free basic Wi-Fi (the only thing where I would spend extra is for CZcams videos otherwise it is fast enough for basic web browsing and social media. Heck I even made a video Skype call form it and it worked well), and most all no Kids. Overall it was fun and I recommend it for young party people into technology.
    The recommended restaurants are
    Gunbae (good food and you get to socialize with other people)
    Extra Virgin (best Italian food)
    Pink Avgave (best steak on the ship)
    The restaurants I don’t recommend are
    The wake (steak could have been better still good but not for my taste)
    Test kitchen (portion is too small maybe this could be a good thing)
    Razzle Dazzle (boring setup and food was so so. However the Bacon is really good)

    Great video on the valiant lady. She’s a gorgeous ship and the atmosphere and the entertainment are excellent. I sailed on her in January 24 from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I thought the food was excellent throughout the cruise. Disappointed to see that your room service was not good. The breakfast room service was the best I’ve ever had on the many cruises I have enjoyed.

  • @ksinfl

      @freejyou Před 8 měsíci

      I loved every morsel of food I had on Virgin..However it was the Scarlet Lady. All the reviews of the Wake are the same. For a steakhouse it does lack flavor ..but I wouldn't gobas far as saying I hated it or complaining to a server.

    Great review. I’ve been on Scarlet Lady twice and have 3 more booked on Valiant. One upcoming in June. As I say to all reviewers; food is subjective. What I like you may hate n vice versa. Room service was amazing on both my sailings on Scarlet. I’m also curious as to how/why you had a Rockstar band, but didn’t stay in a Rockstar suite? Only visits up to the Rooftop. I only stay in Rockstar so hence my curiosity. Glad you enjoyed Virgin as much as I. 😎

    9:00 is the main cup reusable plastic or disposable plastic? I think the paper lid on top makes sense though. You don't want open cups splashing around and reusable lids tend to be super hard to clean. It seems like they've done what they've can to make it a reasonable alternative!

      Everybody else loved or liked it - this is first I’ve seen with bad experience about food.
      There were negative video about lost baggage and maintenance issues but nothing about food

      @chefvld Před rokem

      You should just dress like you feel comfortable in and you’re not gonna walk in a place in flip-flops majorly casual shorts and a tank top paying well not paying anything but for 80 or $90 dinner so just dress accordingly like if you ever been to Vegas maybe not I guess but if you have you know you can go to fancy restaurants dressed to & in the nines or be smart casual Vic in Ga
