Creator's Key Takeaways

I absolutely loved how different the experience was while still having Hallmarks of traditional cruising that made things relatable comfortable.

The crew on Virgin voyages is some of the most relaxed fun-loving and upbeat crew I've ever encountered.

Food was creative it was inspired and of the highest quality.

This is the most attention I've seen paid to me by a cruise line ever.
