Creator's Key Takeaways

Virgin, I would say pre-tagging kind of worked in our favor. You just literally hand it off as opposed to a whole rig roll around.

We have priority check-in because we have Deep Blue extras which got us a 1:45 port arrival time.

It feels way more spacious than the last couple cruises I have been on on other cruise lines.

They know how to be functional with style.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-tag your bags for Virgin Voyages embarkation.
Download the most up-to-date app before sailing.
Return loaned beach towels to avoid a $25 charge.
Ensure the balcony door is locked to activate the air conditioner.
