Please think carefully before booking…


Please think carefully before booking with Virgin, we are currently having a nightmare experience.
Despite numerous visits to the Bluewater branch prior to travel:-
Numerous issues with checkin. I could only check in with my 1-year old granddaughter, who for some reason was linked to me but was obviously with her parents. There was no system to override this. I was told someone had already checked a bag in for me, which I hadn’t. This then caused major confusion.
We had booked and paid for private transfers, which were not provided.
Two bags did not make it on to the flight. We are now 4 nights in to a 7 day holiday and two cases still have not arrived. We are missing basic essentials, such as underwear which we cannot source locally.
We booked tours for today, which have not gone ahead as the transport did not arrive.
Virgin have been completely unhelpful and unresponsive throughout the process. The whole holiday has been completely dominated by dealing with these issues and not the relaxing experience it should have been.
The in-resort reps are polite and friendly but completely ineffectual.
I have no doubt Virgin will just respond to this by saying email their customer services team . An absolute waste of time, as they barely respond and certainly not with anything of any practical use.

Wouldn’t want anyone to have a similar experience.

Oh and don’t be taken in by their response and fake concern. Sent an email to the address provided in the response straight away. No acknowledgment or any kind of reply at all….

You Book Blind

I’m a new customer to Virgin holidays and not familiar with the booking process. I booked Las Vegas today and not a one point it said when I had to pa the full balance by. Am I supposed to guess ? Of course I booked as really wanted for holiday and now only have under a month to pay it all off. Phoned up and they said can pay 30 percent and can extend 2 weeks. The also said it should tell you. It didn’t. Unnecessary stress now and panic how I can pay it all.

New York Trip Booking Experience

We just wanted to say that our experience with Eshaa Patel was the best we've ever had in over 40 years of booking holidays.
Eshaa was Knowledgeable, understanding, kind, polite & an Absolutely Fabulous lady!

We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us.
Virgin are very lucky to have her.

Booked a holiday to New Orleans via New…

Booked a holiday to New Orleans via New York and on to Jamaica via Atlanta for my 30th wedding anniversary, delayed by 3 hours in New York, were finally emailed food vouchers after our flight took off so $80 out of pocket.
Then due to bad weather Delta told us to change our flights but could not do it through them as flights were booked with Virgin, Virgin refused to do anything so I booked flights with American Airlines and paid $1200 out my own pocket.
Virgin in resort USA reps are just a WhatsApp service who do nothing.
Virgin you ruined my wedding anniversary and don’t care!
All staff have been unhelpful except for those in aftercare.
I have another holiday booked with Virgin for October, I just hope they get this one right as it too involves internal flights!
Disappointing 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Consistently great service

I needed to make some amendments to my forthcoming holiday. As always the local branch of my Virgin Holiday ( Norwich) made it an easy & seamless process. Carley who dealt with my query on this occasion was absolutely fantastic & a great ambassador for Virgin holidays!
