Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on 22 cruises.

I would choose a resort over a cruise.

Virgin is the true party ship.

The resort for five days for two people was a whopping $1,310.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose a resort if you want to relax and have everything included without extra costs.
Choose a cruise if you want to sample multiple destinations and enjoy ship activities.
Consider Virgin Voyages for a more inclusive, party-friendly cruise experience.
Use casino offers and loyalty programs to get discounted or free cruises.
For all-inclusive resorts, check if flights are included in the package price.
