Creator's Key Takeaways

So the very first tip is before you sail, please for the love of everything holy, down bo down download, not dorm board. Gez Louise, download the app, the Virgin Voyages app.

Don't stress if you get 145. If you get 145, you're nailing it. That is the first people to board.

I would 100% go book your spa and your shows. If you didn't get the dining that you wanted at the day at the times that you wanted...

Another Rose, hands down, go see it. Go see it five times. However many times you can see it, go see it. I love it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Download the Virgin Voyages app as soon as you book to check in and get your boarding time.
✓Check your name and spelling to ensure they match your passport or ID.
✓Book flights early, especially for international travel, and aim to arrive at least a couple of days before your cruise to avoid jet lag.
✓Once on board, immediately book spa, shows, and dining if you haven't already.
✓Send messages through the app instead of waiting in line at Sailor Services.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Choosing the right boarding time — Don't stress if you get 1:45 PM or 2:00 PM; these are great times and not like other cruise lines.
Booking dining and activities — Book spa, shows, and dining as soon as you board via the app or at designated decks.
Jet lag from international flights — Stay up until at least 7-9 PM local time upon arrival to adjust your sleep schedule.
