Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on I'm actually preparing to board my 71st cruise this week since 2019.

I would say some tips and tricks. While you do know that it's the only adults cruise line, so prepare to not be around any children.

If you are a first-time cruiser, I always recommend booking through the ship.

I personally almost always um don't use the ship excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining reservations 45 days in advance for Virgin Voyages.
For first-time cruisers, book excursions through the ship for the return-to-ship guarantee.
Wear compression socks for flights longer than 3 hours.
Book cruises a year to two years in advance for the best rates.
Start with a short 3-day solo cruise if new to solo travel.
