Resilient cruise, July 2025,Greece

This was my first time on Virgin cruise line. The ship itself was laid out very nicely and was spotless clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

The shows were fun andplentiful, always something happening. However, we did not enjoy having to stand for whole performances of some shows(there was no seating at all). Strange, as a paying cruiser, seats are a must.

The pool areas were very nice with plenty of seats. I found the one pool hard to get in and out of even with a railing, the steps were too high. Hot tubs were plentiful, right temp and had friendly people.

Our room was roomy even with three people. The bathroom was more spacious than your typical ship bathroom. The counter top was large, the toilet area private with door. Nice feature

On the down side we did not like the food. I felt you are trying too hard for something out of the ordinary, exquisite with unusual food items and prep when all I really want is a home cooked meal without being given strange looking and tasting combinations that have no substitutes except tofu?????? I felt like I was being given one choice take it or leave it. Very frustrating.

Now we did enjoy The Galley especially the salad soup bar!!!! Very good and the French toast and blueberry pancakes wonderful

Horrible app

The app is not very user friendly or intuitive. The new app is worse

App is terrible

Most of the time I try and open it I usually have so log back in with the trip details again or it can’t find my booking and I’m left with a useless app

Had to use both apps on cruise

I ended my 7 day cruise on July 6 and had to use both apps depending on what I was looking for or needed. Both apps would lock up and I had to my phone on and off in order to make it work. I was on iOS/iPhone 16. It was very frustrating. Even the LOLz comedian was talking about the app.

Worked in the middle of the ocean!

Worked great ❤️
