Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check in on the app ahead of time for Virgin Voyages embarkation.
โœ“If you have Deep Blue Extras priority boarding, arrive around 1:15 PM instead of earlier.
โœ“Make dining reservations 45 days before sailing to secure a spot.
โœ“Use the flip signs for service in dining areas.

Ship looks too gray and bland in pictures โ€” As you walk around, it is very cool and different from traditional cruise ships.
