New viewer here, been on over 35 cruises myself. I see there's a Virgin fanboy among you! LOL. I have to agree on a lot, but the cabins on Virgin have some drawbacks to me....Storage could be a little better, but the big one is lack of real sofa in the veranda cabins. The "convert it to a sectional every day" was a failed design from the moment they launched the ship and they should correct it when ships go into dry dock. Secondly, I LOVE modern design (I live in a mid century house), but I found the deck areas to be kind of "cold" and austere...It's literally battleship grey/silver and heat absorbing red Everywhere. When on deck, I want to feel connected to the sea, you don't feel that on Virgin ships, except at The Dock, which is one of the most brilliant outdoor spaces. The "every stairway is metallic grey walls with metal railings" makes it feel like a hospital. And their app is terrible, it's pretty, and you can book restaurants in advance, but it is soooo buggy and hard to use at times. All of that being said, I LOVE Virgin, they are innovators in the industry. I love that the crew are allowed to be a human being, have a personality, and it shows, they are happy and do an exceptional job because of the way Virgin takes care of them. The food is the best at sea IMHO, and the entertainment was cool and inventive. Thanks for a great video guys!
@@JamesandJase Princess is worth a try. Their older ships are extremely similar in design, but the newer classes are quite nice. I t is an older demographic on most sailing, like, much older, but Holland America has some great ships. None are huge, the newer class of ship are highly focused on music and food and the service is amazing. I was surprised how much I liked them, as I am not yet "HAL age", lol.
