Creator's Key Takeaways

Do you know what the one bit of advice is that I always give new cruisers? They should seize the day.

Facebook groups are something to have a look at. You can ask many questions about your cruise.

The ships are the same, but it just depends on the experience with the staff.

We are going to be doing a number of premium and especially dining experiences and we'll do the deep dives into it.

Here’s what we’re diving into this week: 🚢 Virgin Voyages Black Friday Mega Sale Virgin releases its lowest fares ever and offers up to 70% off the second sailor, plus bonus bar tabs — one of the biggest promotions they’ve ever run. Great deals on 2024–26 sailings. 🍽️ Carnival Expands Adults-Only Premium Menu Carnival is expanding its premium dining menus across adults-only sailings, improving entrée quality, dessert options, and elevated specialty offerings. Carnival Launches New Zero-Alcohol Drinks Package Carnival unveils a new zero-proof beverage package, but there’s controversy: not all inclusions from the alcoholic packages carry over, meaning guests may still face gaps in value.
