Watch this BEFORE doing a Transatlantic Cruise with Virgin Voyages!

You summed up the transatlantic perfectly! Very informative for any first timers on a VV transatlantic voyage :)

Thanks for the video! We are booked on that itinerary in 2025. Looking forward to the 8-day crossing to unwind and relax.

Great vlog. I’m doing this cruise in May and the time shift is the only thing I was concerned with

Thanks for this. Your video quality, editing, and sound is excellent. We don't think we would enjoy a transatlantic though. One sea day at a time is enough 😂. It's mainly about the destinations for us. VV would probably be the best option, though, as there seems to be so much to do.

Your comment on the time changes was spot on. Going the other direction (Europe to US) is FAR easier as the days get longer. I've done 4 TAs on Virgin and somewhere around 12 total--a lot depends on the line, the extra activities and entertainment they book, etc. Some lines do it better than others.

Oh hey, you caught me and my wife at the untitled Dance party!!!! I remember meeting you guys. I have to agree with all your points here. It was our first Virgin cruise and first transatlantic, but not our first cruise. I was definitely wary about the 8 full days at sea back to back, but I had no issues with all the activities. I should note that this particular cruise, had more activities that are different from other cruise lines i've been on which made them a lot more fun, in my opinion. Also, I should add my perspective on the queues for the shows. The main issue, at least for our cruise, was that we did not know if the show we that were playing, would repeat later in the cruise. I figured out how to find out that info, but it wasn't exactly intuitive. Once i figured that out, I was able to see some of the shows i missed earlier in the cruise. Because of the length of our cruise, most of the shows did repeat, so the queue on the 2nd showing was much lower. For example, the Circus pre-show, the first showing, the queue went all the way through the Atrium and almost to Test Kitchen. I was at the bend between the roundabout and the stores, so i didn't look back to see how far the line went, but it went around the corner at least. 2nd showing, it barely got to the Atrium. So my guess is that other people also weren't sure, so everyone packed the first showing thinking it was the only showing, but during the 2nd showing, it wasn't as crowded because people had already seen it.

Enjoyed your perspective on the transatlantic voyage. I think I ( Kelly) could do it fine but Bob might go a bit bonkers. We often don't get off the ship on port days either. I bet seeing land was nice though! You lucked out having calmer seas, I would also be worried about motion sickness. We are addicted to Virgin cruising, love hearing other's perspectives!

So much fun! I think I spotted you guys at the very end of the sailing! Love the video! 🥂

Thanks for the video. Trying to decide on the May 2025 trip…

Hey boys! Glad to see some good cruise content. Watching your Virgin vlogs now. I took you #570! Keep the vlogs coming. It pays off! Took us forever but it’s a juice worth the squeeze.

Fab video you make us laugh ❤

I think I'd want to get off after a couple of days! We like all the various destinations so transatlantic is prob not for us. Great video though guys! 👍

Hi! I was on that voyage with you 🎉. Had a great time, mainly because I got to spend a lot of quality time with an old friend. Definitely worth it!

Great video guys, oh man it’s made us miss Virgin 😢😂😅 Only done a transatlantic with P&O but would absolutely love to do one with VV. All that food! 🤤

Sold! Maybe in 2027??? I've got so much planned already (including THREE VV's and I haven't sailed with them yet so I'm trusting you guys LOL). Great video, I WOULD love it if you could, at the start of each video, label each of you briefly cause I can't keep track of who is who between you (that is likely just me, but if I visually saw it once at the beginning then it will stick).

Your cruise had far less passengers than what we experienced on Resilient Lady from Auckland to Sydney, 12 nights. Our sailing was 91% or 2550 pax. We would not sail on Virgin Voyages again because the ship was understaffed and it affected every part of our experience. We had 2 good dinners out of 12. Most times our food was served at room temps. It was just disgusting. This was my 56th cruise and the first one that I wished that it ended earlier. The Lady ships are designed for warm weather. Our 2 days of sailing in the Tasman Sea were rough, with the bow of the ship slamming into the huge waves. It was so loud that the sound would wake us up at night. I just cannot recommend Virgin Voyages as our experience was very sub-standard compared to other cruise lines.
