7 Nights Bruges, Amsterdam, Hamburg & More Cruise

Virgin valiant Lady.

Ship was modern and elegant, the food and ingredients were top-notch and 24 hour. Options were good. The Scarlet party is awesome and the music was very good as well. The casino has two sides of high roller side and a regular side and also has a smoking room in the back and its own private bar. There were a couple nightclubs on the ship and they allowed everyone to swim in the pools pretty much as late as they wanted to, which was refreshing. I definitely think that will be booking another virgin ship very soon. The layout of the ship made it feel much bigger than it was, and we had a very smooth sailing. The staff was extremely polite and attentive, and I liked the smart room features that controlled the lights and TVs as well as air conditioning and room service. Like I said, we will definitely be booking another virgin voyage soon.

Miami • Key West • Bimini

Fantastic Getaway! We did a small upgrade on our cabin which was beautiful and gave us a smidge bigger bathroom & storage space. The restaurants are all delicious & the ship had GREAT entertainment -my favorite was the Miss Behave show & the A cappella group “The Magnets” & it’s a ship show (dinner show). We rented a golf cart in Key West Florida to tour the island and sample all the key lime pie - *Kermit’s & *Key Lime Pie Co. were our top picks! I highly recommend going straight to south point if you want that pic, to beat the rush. The highlight of the trip was our off shore adventure in Bimini, Bahamas - we did the Sapona shipwreck & shark snorkeling (20-30 reef sharks)! Bimini has beautiful tranquil waters and the Beach club does not disappoint, it is a great last day. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Don’t forget Red for Scarlet Night and pajamas for the PJ party both were a blast!

Great First Experience with Virgin!

We have been loyal cruisers of the "fun" ship brands for years but tried Virgin just to experience the difference. Wow, night & day experiences between the two. We loved the small ship atmosphere. Valiant Lady only has about 2700 passengers. At no time did it ever feel crowded, except sea days around the pool area, but to be expected. We absolutely loved the no buffet experience. I've always hated waiting at buffets for people to pick over food, waste it, and get back in line for more. None of the food service areas ever seemed really crowded. The food was excellent throughout the cruise. We weren't big on the Italian restaurant, called Extra Virgin, it was our least favorite experience. We booked all the restaurants we could based on our number of nights on board. Pink Agave was our favorite (order the chips and guac), and Nelson (sp) our server (previous Disney crew) was awesome as a host! My wife loved the coffee options. The food portions were great. The crew was very professional and always willing to help. The bathroom/shower area is small, but manageable, provided you aren't a large person. We loved the idea of no children on board; it made the cruise that much better. Despite the amount of alcohol, other sailors acted as adults and not first-time drinkers. Our only complaint would be the comfort of our bed, it was a bit too hard, but otherwise, this is one of the best cruising experiences we've had.
