Creator's Key Takeaways

After 20 cruises complaining about children, we are finally sailing with Virgin Voyages for the very first time.

We do suggest despite what Virgin Voyages may email you to show up 15 to 30 minutes before your actual time slot.

The reservation line was over an hour long... their system was down.

This is the best uh free coffee I've had on any ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Show up 15-30 minutes before your boarding time slot.
βœ“Go to the reservation line immediately to book dining reservations.
βœ“Use the app to book reservations if the line is long.
βœ“Wear a onesie for the pajama party on a colder weather cruise.

Bed comfort β€” Beds are firm and different from other ships; may be good for back problems.
Dining reservations β€” Book early via app or go to reservation line immediately.
