Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to sound really negative and I I hate to say it. I really do. I hate to say it.

It was not my favorite. So, just to preface, if you're a virgin lover and this is going to piss you off, stay tuned.

The pistachio macaroon, if you if you are on Virgin Voyages and you can try it, try it. It was so delish.

I really hated the design of this ship. Mhm. And I remember her texting me, 'Where am I?'
