I was on this sailing. Prior to this sailing, the longest cruise I have been on was a 9 day cruise. I thought this 14-day cruise was perfect. I didn't have to wake up early, and I was able to eat in the restaurants more than once. It was very relaxing and they had a lot of activities to keep you busy. The only drawback for me was that I was not able to enjoy my hammock much bc it was rather chilly some days. The time change on the sea days didn't bother me bc I wasn't getting off the ship the next day. I booked an 11-day cruise in 2025 and the 16-day Panama cruise in 2026 with VV. Thank you for the great video. I can't wait for my next VV cruise this September from Portsmouth, UK.

Gurl, you do not look 40 at all! I thought you were both in your late 20's

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! 👍

OMG, I am in tears laughing at Davids reaction to the shot in Loose Cannon. I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard!!! I seriously thought he was going to spew!

Love it, another great adventure guys! If you ever crave a Portuguese custard tart you can get them in Nando’s! 😂 Thanks so much for filming your trip and sharing, we’ve booked a virgin voyage based solely on your channel… so, no pressure

Generally speaking if you are asking if an update is worth the price it isn’t. The rock star and mega rockstar suites are great and the benefits are nice but they are expensive. If it is a stretch to afford it just get a regular sea terrace and use the extra money to have a great cruise

I’m glad to see that Virgin has updated their rating! We also were expecting more of a wine tasting experience (I was the one on the bus who asked if the wine tasting was still happening 😂)

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

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.

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

Loved this!!! As someone from Deepest darkest west Cornwall I totally get the pre-travel day stress 😫Also So lovely to see vloggers who enjoy a tipple or 4 at the airport, always 5pm somewhere 😁😉 Great videos guys, happy to subscribe ❤

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.

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.

Fab video you make us laugh ❤

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!

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

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).

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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! 🤤

😂 I think I peed a little with the confetti

I 💚 Yorkshire

Ahh, I remember seeing this on Instagram - how fantastic you were onboard and able to experience first-hand. Thanks for sharing this with us!

This was such a good review. I usually skip thru but I watched the full video.

Love the scarlet outfits!!! Thanks for another great video.

Ooh I’m excited for next year!

Love the T Shirts guys who designed them and do they do request. As we are going in virgin in September and it's are honeymoon as well Love the clips ❤ Rob

Absolute amazing experience. Me and the wife were on RRT too watching this and it was during happy hour too :)

Jealous. Would have loved sailing the Lady across. Hope you all had a great time.

Great experience in May we were on Resilient Lady.

Pride on Virgin must be so fun!

The ships 🚢 🚢 weren’t the only ones “tooting” their horns . . 😂😳🫣😬🫢 ❤

When did that occur? I had hoped to sail with Resilient Lady out of Sydney, but they sailed the day before I arrived. As a result I took two sailings on the Celebrity Edge. Thinking about the Scarlet Lady transatlantic in May 2025. Do you recommend?

I do not consent to being filmed on the ferry in New Zealand or when I’m cranky on the plane 😂

35, max 🙂

Looks awesome! Definitely something we'd love on a cruise. Has it only been on your TA cruise?

We've done Panama Canal on a different line (also 16 nights) was great! I've started looking up the virgin one now!!! Pride shot looks yummy. 🎉

Looks lush! Who doesn’t love Christmas in June? 😂🎄🎅😊

wish I could hang out with you guys

Congrats on 500! We're on the Panama Canal cruise as well and excited to be on board for the first transit. Looking forward to more TA content!

You always make us chuckle. More pyrotechnics, please! We are looking forward to joining you on the 1000 subscriber live 😃👍

Congratulations on 500+ subscribers guys! Can’t wait to see what you’ll fire off when you get to 1000 😊. My guess it will be loud LOL!

Love you guys. Very good content.

Hello Lads , How are you ? The US built ( dug ) the Panama 🇵🇦 Canal. They were in control of it for many years , they even had a military base, to oversee it. They turned it over to Panama but , reserved the right to have priority for US vessels to pass through, and the right to use military force, if necessary, to keep the canal open , and to keep it a neutral zone. Good luck with your employment search , I hope you find a position , that you enjoy even more, than your previous one. Congratulations 🍾 🥂 on your 500 subscribers, I’ll toast to a thousand more. ❤

Hopefully we can meet the two of you on the Panama Canal voyage and have a G&T . Cheers
