Creator's Key Takeaways

We were not even able to get on the ship until about 2:15 p.m. which is about 3 hours later than we would typically get on a ship.

Virgin is very much a foodie cruise line. All of the food is included and they don't have a main dining room.

The clientele and the vibes have been very accommodating. There's been something for everybody and there's all kinds of different people on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Don't stress about restaurant reservations; plenty of availability on board.
โœ“Use the app to select your debarkation time slot.
โœ“Order two ginger beers with room service to waive the $10 delivery fee.
โœ“Avoid party areas if you prefer quiet; they are easy to find.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Late embarkation and tight window to board โ€” Know that rooms are ready as soon as you board, which is a plus.
No formal nights โ€” Theme nights are taken seriously and are fun; check the app for schedule.
App is not user-friendly โ€” Make your own itinerary spreadsheet; app is improving.
Party atmosphere โ€” Vibes are chill and accommodating; you can avoid party areas easily.
