almost good but not for us
We booked this cruise for the itinerary (Turkey and Greek islands), but we were quite worried to be the oldest passengers among lots of young guys with "strange" behaviours.
Actually this was not the case: most of the people were above 50yo, looking older than us and the cruise was quite "normal".
The seaview cabin was spacious, with enough storage space and our steward made a very good job.
Restaurants were excellent (except for a rude and incompetent server at Extra Virgin). But lot of planning is needed to have a reservation: booking on board was almost impossible unless you want to eat after 9.30PM or at Gunbae; we haven’t seen anyone able to walk-in, instead several people were rejected.
Itinerary was as gorgeous as expected, but Shore excursions team was a disaster: rude and not informative on board and not existent ashore: eg: on Mykonos island we had a "GUIDED" excursion booked through Virgin Voyages. It involved tender from ship to NEW Mykonos port, then Sea Bus (small ferry) to OLD Mykonos port. Afterwards we boarded a large ferry to Delos isle. On the way back to Resilient Lady, debarking from the large Delos ferry, the "local tour guide" disappeared; we had to walk without any indication about 1 mile in busy Mykonos town to find "the shuttle bus" to transfer us to VV tender terminal. Eventually we found the shuttle and reached the 'terminal' - no signs, no indications on any kind... just, when we got there, we found a rude guy rushing us ... "as the next tender is almost at full capacity !!"
*SEVEN* transfers without seeing one single Shore Excursion member !!
No explanation on board, nobody ashore to give indications.
As you can book excursions through the App, the added values of the Shore Things team is zero.
All the rest of the staff did an excellent job, in particular the Sailors service team.
The logistic of the entertainment was a nightmare: only a few tens of people were able to watch Lola’s Library show seated in a comfortable way while lot of people were standing on the shoulders of others to have a glimpse of what was happening; this was ridiculous.
We missed the other ships traditional and “seated” stage shows.
Overall a good experience, but we will not sail on Virgin again
