We sailed on Virgin Voyages Valiant lady in November 2023 for Thanksgiving and we captured a LOT of video, pictures, and lessons learned throughout the sailing. We provide our FULL REVIEW, including what we Loved, Didn't Love, and what we Hated. To make it more digestible, we break out our review into our standard categories of Food, Drinks, Entertainment, and miscellaneous.

In summary, there was a LOT to love about Virgin Voyages. In fact, you'll learn in the video that we booked our next sailing while still on board - definitely a first for us.

As part of the Full Review, we also share cruise tips throughout that will help you on your Virgin Voyages sailing. Whether you are sailing on Valiant Lady, or her sisters Scarlet Lady or Resilient Lady, the tips and tricks provided throughout will help ensure you maximize your VV experience.

As always, if you have any questions about the ship, the food, drinks, or entertainment, drop those in the comments below. We'll also be putting out several additional videos including all the food we ate on board and our experience on Thanksgiving at The Wake.

  • @zoxuss
    The spicy popcorn was amazing.
  • @jesseeastman6468
    What a thorough and informative review! My wife and I will be sailing on the Valiant January 7th for our first Virgin Voyage. Getting excited. Thank you for your review, the video was great

    Love this vlog gents, fantastic review We've sailed Celebrity, RC and Princess but this year we've booked a 12 night Virgin cruise and cant wait! One of your Hate points you mentuined was the prebooking restaurants and ship events and this is what im not looking forward to organising. Any hints would be greatly appreciated, like whats the best time to book dinner so we dont miss the shows.. Thanks Emma
  • @Jon_T19
    I totally agree with the reservation system. I called Sailor Services 45 day before and booked all dining in 5 minutes, however the entertainment and shows did not finalize till literally 48 hours before embarkation!! I was on a themed Halloween cruise, so I assumed it was an isolated incident. I am a planner and would have loved more guidance on the events ahead of time to pack properly.

  • @MiMySlots
    Thank you for your insightful review! What did you think of the casino? Did they have self-serve ice cream? 🤗

    “Kongzhu is a typical Chinese toy. At the same time, it is also a wonderful folk sport, especially for the people who live in the north. Many people like to play it. Although Kongzhu is small, it takes a lot of efforts to play it. It will make you sweat and is a good exercise for your body. Therefore, Kongzhu is very popular in the north of China. Host: So, I find out what this is, something in Chinese it is called “Kongzhu”. In English, we call it “diabolo”.” Copy from an old article. For me, this thing actually is not common when comparing to other traditional toys, maybe because I am from the south, but somehow I knew it.

    Looks amazing. You were sailing with Steff? You should have brought her on camera. Love Steff ❤️
  • @pjbottoms8095
    Excellent and fun review! I've heard there is barely room to stand in the shower in the Sea Terrace rooms. Is that true? Is it worth upgrading to a suite so I can see my toes? 😂
  • We appreciate your insight about the cruise. What cruise are taking in March? We will be on the Scarlet Lady on the 24th for our first Virgin Voyage.
  • @mikevolk3462
    You get a pass because it was your first Voyage but... Chinese yo-yo = Diablo Lets's Get Fancy = We Fancy (not an official theme night, but people have taken to going for the gold. Who doesn't love a wedding? Sorry your Gunbae experience was meh, we have been lucky when we have gone to have had great table mates. Your Extra Virgin Experience is inexcusable. It was great sailing with you both again and glad you had such a wonderful time over all. Next time be sure to try the Sangria at the Dock. I do agree that there is not a bar I want to hang out at like there is on Carnival (love me some Alchemy Bar).
  • @princesshanaa1
    It’s so weird that I had the exact same experience at extra virgin but my server was a guy so makes me wonder if that’s how they are training them. It really made me feel bad and self conscious.
  • @Randilynn66
    What other cruise lines have you traveled? Have you been on celebrity? My wife and I are taking a valiant lady cruise in September..
  • @kimkirksey3018
    Everyone speaks about the lack of vibing with the wedding on Scarlet Night
