I looked at quite a few transatlantic sailings in the fall of 2023 for similar cabins, and the prices were $1500-2000 more, and that was before adding drinks, Wi-Fi, and tips. The price is definitely a deal. 👍🏻

The food does look fantastic. And on some of the videos I watched Virgin really does have wildly different entertainment shows! 😳

Last year on the Anthem of the Seas I had a Deck 10 extended balcony cabin and loved it. Gotta give it to Royal Caribbean, their cabins are lovely. Virgin Cruises’ cabins are definitely on the “minimalist” side, and I’m sure it won’t be too bad, and enough room, for a single traveler. 😉 I do wish the balcony furniture had cushions. LOL As for pools and solariums, I quite literally spent no time at all while on ANTHEM other to take pictures and leave. I just enjoy sitting and people watching, eating, and watching movies and shows. This is going to be a tough decision. And a completely different experience. 😎

Greetings all! I’m looking at a cruise for late next fall and found a pretty good deal for a single-occupancy on Valiant Lady in an amidship balcony doing a 14-night transatlantic from Barcelona. For those who may not know, tips, basic drinks, all meals in the +20 eateries and dining venues, and Wi-Fi are included in the cruise rate. The total cruise price comes to around $1680. I’ve viewed plenty of videos on YouTube and read some reviews and comments over on the Virgin Voyages forum, but wanted to see if anyone here has cruised Virgin, and may have any additional input when comparing the level of service and food to that of Royal Caribbean. The idea of an Adults Only cruise is very appealing, as are the eleven sea days between Barcelona and Miami. Ports of call to me are sort of secondary, and the ship is a much higher priority. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated! Thank you! 😁
