The booking process was wonderful and the staff of the Spirit of Norfolk were good but....the food was mediocre at best. We couldn't even eat the chicken or fish. And the music was VERY loud and obnoxious. The DJ didn't play a combination of music that would be suitable for all aboard. We will not recommend this experience to our family or friends

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Cheri, Thank you so much for taking time to review your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback as we constantly strive to create positive memories that last a lifetime! My sincerest apologies that the food was unsatisfactory and that the music negatively impacted the day’s atmosphere. Despite these frustrations, I am glad to hear that the booking process was easy and that the team was friendly. Although we were not able to provide a perfect experience, I do hope that we will be able to earn back your trust and help you discover another incredible adventure in the future. Cheers, Elizabeth

The cruise was very enjoyable. The boat was very nice & the food was great. We would recommend this to others. We were glad that the captain pointed out various sites along the way.

I was disappointed. The food was mediocre. And not a large variety from what was said on your advertisements. The cruise was not what I expected either. Other then ships yards, there was not much to see and we didn't go out very far. The ship was smaller then I expected also. All in all, I was disappointed. It was a gift to a friend and he and I went together. I am hoping it was just this cruise, because I have given another gift certificate to my daughter and her husband from you for something else. I love the concept of what you are doing. If this works out for them, I will use you again and recommend you to others. If they are not totally pleased, I will not. Thank you for the chance to tell you how I felt about the cruise. All the representatives of your company from the first phone call, as well as the ship's staff, were wonderful.
