Creator's Key Takeaways
This band was absolutely the best thing. I never knew how much I needed this in my life until I went on a Virgin cruise.
No buffets. No buffets. And again, lovely. I love it.
The staff on the boat, the staff off the boat as well, too, because we went to the private island in Biminy. We learned that, you know, the staff that don't they don't live on Biminy. They get off the boat.
We can't see us booking another cruise. Not that it won't happen, but if we can help it, we're going to go with Virgin because it just made cruising on another level.
