Creator's Key Takeaways

I have status with Virgin Voyages, so I am able to board early, but 1:30 is the soonest that you can get on board.

I'm excited to get on board. Let's go.

I have never gone to a solo meetup on Virgin before, but I went today and I had the best time.

Virgin may not be for everybody. I understand that. I love that there is a diva on board who is a drag queen.

Follow along as I board the Resilient Lady for a fun-filled embarkation day in San Juan, Puerto Rico! This is my fourth Virgin cruise but first time on Resilient and she is gorgeous! I am sailing on a 7-day cruise to the Lesser Antilles islands! This itinerary includes Aruba, Curacao, Martinique and St. Kitts, all of which are brand new ports for me and I'm so excited to visit each one!
