6 Nights Western Caribbean Cruise

Msc you have my heart

I just got back from a cruise on the MSC Seashore, and it was honestly such a great experience. From the moment I stepped on board, everything felt exciting and super well organized. The ship itself is stunning—very modern, clean, and spacious. There were so many places to just relax and take in the view, especially by the infinity pool and on the upper decks during sunset. I spent a lot of time just walking around, exploring all the little spots on the ship, and I never got bored. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. You could tell they really cared and wanted everyone to have a good time. The food was also a highlight—tons of variety every day, and always fresh and tasty. Whether you wanted a quick bite or a more fancy dinner, there was something for every mood. I also really enjoyed the shows in the evening. They were fun, energetic, and honestly better than I expected. It was the perfect way to end the day after relaxing or exploring during port stops. Overall, it was such a nice break from the usual routine. I came back feeling refreshed, happy, and already thinking about when I can go on another cruise. MSC Seashore made everything easy and enjoyable from start to finish—I’d definitely recommend it.

Why you should choose MAS - Islander

So many reasons to sail on MAS - Vibe is great, activities are plentiful, casino staff is awesome, and all food venues were excellent. You must try JWB Steakhouse. It was delicious. Frank and Lola's had some of the best pizza I have had. If you love crispy light crust on your pizza you will love Frank and Lola's . And the Burgers in Paradise were as good as expected. Many of our group had 1 -2 a day. Everything was simple from embarking to disembarking. We were a party of 11 and on some cruiselines that could be cumbersome, but on the Islander , again, all was simple. We did not have any children in our group, but we observed many children enjoying interacting with the cruise staff. Even an Easter Egg Hunt for all children to participate. Looking forward to sailing again in the near future. We will be back!

A First-Time Cruise We'll Never Forget!

We just returned from our very first Virgin Voyages cruise—and our first cruise ever—and we can honestly say: we’ll never be the same! From the moment we checked in to the bittersweet day we disembarked, it was pure joy, start to finish. Let’s talk about the food—because wow. We’d heard all the typical cruise food jokes before boarding, but Virgin blew those expectations out of the water. Every meal was a culinary experience. As San Diegans who love good food, we were amazed that the dining options easily matched the quality of our favorite special-occasion restaurants back home. The diversity, flavor, and presentation? Absolutely top notch. Our cabin may have been cozy, but it had everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the daily complimentary water and ice refills were such a thoughtful touch. We especially loved the sweet treats included in our Splash of Romance package—such a lovely detail that made our trip feel even more special. Virgin Voyages didn’t just meet our expectations—they redefined what we think a vacation can be. We’re already counting down the days until we can book our next sailing, and we’re beyond excited for Virgin Voyages to port in Los Angeles and Seattle in 2026—we’ll be there, no question. Thank you, Virgin, for turning two cruise newbies into lifelong fans. Until next time!
