Creator's Key Takeaways

I was afraid I wasn't cool enough for Virgin Voyages. I got to tell you though that everyone is cool enough for Virgin Voyages.

The pizza on this ship beat Disney's pizza every time and I had it four times.

Scarlet Night is celebrating this mythological story of the first sailor to cross the seas.

We will definitely sail on Virgin again. Disney still has our heart.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look at a longer sailing if concerned about party atmosphere.
Book the Grogwalk on the first night to meet people.
Bring your own cup for drinks to reduce waste.

YouTube Video Description

We’re back from a 7-night sailing aboard Virgin Voyages with our friends Tracy and Michael—aka the DCL Duo Sr.—and we’re diving into the full experience. It was their first time sailing with Virgin, and our second, so we’re comparing notes, sharing hot takes, and exploring how Virgin stacks up to Disney Cruise Line. This adults-only voyage took us to Puerto Plata, Grand Turk, and Bimini, and gave us a chance to experience Scarlet Night, drag brunch, elevated dining, and some truly unique entertainment. Was it love at first sail for Tracy and Michael? Did we still love our second go-round? And how does cruising without kids feel for seasoned DCL veterans? Tune in as we break down the itinerary, the vibe, the pros and cons, and the big question: would we do it again?
