I always enjoy eating at @MillerandCarter and the Herne Bay restaurant didn’t disappoint. Great food and wonderful service from a lovely staff (especially our waitress Cara) - they could teach some much more expensive (and snobbier) places a thing or two!

When you’re heading off to bed but get distracted by a band playing an excellent cover of Livin’ On A Prayer on @VirginVoyages ship Brilliant Lady.

Glad to see The Manor is still one of the best nightclubs at sea on the fourth @VirginVoyages ship Brilliant Lady.

Thanks for the WiFi code, @VirginVoyages - I think 5,000 devices should cover it ☺️
