Creator's Key Takeaways
Don't judge your entire Virgin Voyages experience based on the first day. Embarkation day is exciting, but it's also a little overwhelming.
Once I stopped looking for what Virgin wasn't and started appreciating what it was, clicked into place.
Sometimes the vacation you planned isn't exactly the vacation you get, and that is 100% okay.
