Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm very experienced at doing this I cruise all the time if you watch my channel uh I've been on a lot of cruise lines

I think that this ship is severely under staffed I don't think they have enough people working on this ship

the food in pink Agave was so good and I'll just walk through very quickly what I had

the misbehave show is cool because it's kind of a competition you're split into two they split the audience into two

YouTube Video Description

It's a sea day on Valiant Lady, but I'm left asking 'where is the crew?' as service seems oddly slow at many venues. Also, I detail my first dinner snag with Test Kitchen, weird breakfast reservation requirements, delicious brunch at Razzle Dazzle, the Misbehave Show, sunset on Valiant Lady, and a delicious dinner at Pink Agave, the upscale Mexican restaurant onboard Virgin Voyages. See how different a sea day on Virgin Voyages can be! It's my first time ever on Virgin Voyages as I embark on Valiant Lady for an 8-night sailing to the Caribbean! I set sail on Virgin Voyages from Miami, Florida on Valiant Lady, the second newest ship in the 3-ship Virgin fleet.
