Creator's Key Takeaways

Today was embarcation day on our very first Virgin Voyages cruise.

We could have taken the Virgin Voyage bus to the mall, but we decided to be the very first in line for our boarding time, which just meant standing in line for 2 hours, but that was all the waiting because when our boarding time came, we walked right onto the ship.

The happening cast knows how to dance and party. However, our fellow sailors weren't as ready to have fun.

I got into my PJs for the 11 p.m. party, but my entire group was tired, so we decided to call it a night, and I never made it. Maybe next time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be first in line for your boarding time to minimize waiting.
βœ“Put your name on the list at guest services for a cabin upgrade.

YouTube Video Description↓

This was embarkation day on our very first Virgin Voyages cruise 🚒 We left our Vero Beach hotel early, checked in at the port before noon, and decided to be first in line for our boarding time β€” which meant a lot of standing, but zero stress once boarding actually started. After dropping bags, grabbing lunch in the Galley, and putting our name on the list for a quieter cabin, we kicked things off with the sail away party (free bubbles included 🍾). Dinner at Extra Virgin was booked early, the food delivered, and by 11 pm… the party plans did not. 😴 Embarkation days are exciting β€” and exhausting. Maybe next time we’ll make it to the late-night party. Until next time… keep on cruising! βš“οΈ Looking to book your next cruise?
