What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œThis has been one of the best cruises I've been on.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œThe ship itself is beautiful. This has to be the prettiest ship at sea.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œI paid $394 for an inside cabin for me on a 7-day cruise. That's like groceries for a week.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œI wanted to focus on what I think is the absolute best number one tip for anyone looking to sell on Virgin for the first time”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œThe buffet has been loaded with Texas favorites, things that you will not see on an MSSE cruise going out of Miami or Port Canaveral.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick
The Watch-outs

β€œI was really concerned if Texas and the rest of this region was going to embrace a European style of cruising when MSE moved here.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œthis is obviously a huge devaluation of this offer but it falls closer in line to what other cruise lines are doing”
