    Before we know it, it is time for Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady to depart Barcelona and up on deck we have experience the famous Virgin Voyages sail away.
    This evenings dinner was in the Galley, as we wanted to see as much as possible on our first night, plus tonight was the PJ Party night!
    Be sure to follow along as we bring you along on our first Virgin Voyages cruise, you experience all the bars, restaurants, entertainment - including the big party... Scarlet Night!

    Our Valiant Lady cruise started in Barcelona and we cruised to Marseille, Cannes, Palma De Majorca and Ibiza, before returning to Barcelona.
    Thank you for Virgin Voyages for giving us the opportunity to sail with them and to bring you along on our Valiant Lady cruise. The cruise fare was complimentary and we received access to Richards Rooftop. All flights, hotel, transfers and onboard spending such as Bar Tab's was paid for by ourselves.

    🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys?
    We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us!
    We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails).
    We have sailed on Celebrity Cruises, P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.

      @CruiseMonkeys  8 месяцев назад +1

      Glad you enjoyed it! The spa was a lovely way to relax later in the cruise! Yeah, think there’s a preconception about virgin - hopefully these videos will help persuade a few people as people who try virgin and go back over and over love it! If we were not vloggers and money no object, we’d only do virgin! 🤣

    I’ve become kind of disillusioned with the cruises, but I think I wouldn’t mind trying the Virgin cruise. I’m so glad Virgin knew to support you guys. I wouldn’t of thought about going on Virgin until I saw your video. And I am probably 50 years older than anybody I saw in your video.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  8 месяцев назад

      Ohhh certainly have a look in to it, we met people 20 years younger than up and over 30 years older than us, if you are young at heart, enjoy excellent service and food, and want something a little less traditional compared to your regular cruise lines, you’ll enjoy it!

    A great start to another exciting series, I think they could have powered the lights just from your energy. Just a quick question, are the shower products as high end as the ship itself or did you stick with your own?

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  8 месяцев назад +2

      Hahaha yeah, think we could easily have powered them! The shower products were good! I (Gav) used them and they were really nice, Luke never uses them as he has his own products due to sensitive skin :)

Taking the kids out of school as seeing all different culture is probably more educational than being sat in class tbh lol. Once in a lifetime. Also my sister and her partner have opened their own travel agents business JH travel and i save a good few hundred quid compared to p and o site. Winner winner. 😂
