Virgin Voyages Room Service Overall Review

The first time we tried Ship Eats was on our third Virgin Voyages trip, and we were genuinely impressed.

The food arrived perfectly packaged, at the right temperature, and exactly as we ordered. They also included condiments like ketchup, dressing, and utensils — everything we needed.

We ordered breakfast on a sea day because we wanted a slow, easy morning. Using our Sailor Loot credit, we ordered two oat milk lattes ($5 each), which helped waive the delivery fee.

The breakfast came hot, fresh, and just as delicious as what you’d get at the restaurants onboard.

We also appreciated being able to customize it to a vegan option (and gluten-free), and everything was handled smoothly.
