Creator's Key Takeaways

We are travels with David and Mark. Are we on the right side of the logo this time?

We've never been to any of the ports before. So, we're very excited.

It was a breeze. Yes, it really was a breeze, David.

I suppose what we're trying to say is that we hope these changes weren't driven by outside pressures, but unfortunately it did feel that way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask your room host to open up balcony dividers for group hangouts.
Book a tender slot in the app if you're not a Rockstar and want to ashore before 12:30.
Watch the sail in or sail out of Kotor Bay for incredible views.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Worry about not having a waiting area at the portRockstar guests can wait in the Rockstar area; others can use shuttles to explore the town.
Uncertainty about the vibe of Virgin VoyagesThe sailaway party doesn't define the whole cruise; the vibe can be as chilled as you want.
