Creator's Key Takeaways

on my first sailing with Virgin voyages all I could think of was Wo this is really different than other cruise lines and it's awesome

I have been on virgent voyages over half a dozen times and I don't want you to make the mistakes that I did so learn from them

travel agents they are not irrelevant I thought they were to check out the person that I work with

I made the mistake of thinking that I would feel really old um I thought a lot of people think that this is a boat full of 20year olds and it's just not

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book ticketed events and fitness classes as soon as you get on board
βœ“Book dinner reservations 45 days before sailing
βœ“Don't overbook your schedule to avoid needing a vacation after your vacation
βœ“Use a travel agent for better deals and Sailor Loot
βœ“Ask about secret menus at Razzled Dazzle and Test Kitchen

Watch this 30 second tutorial… https://youtube.com/shorts/os33nG-8bmU ******************************************** ***UPDATED NOTES FOR 2025*** If there is one HUUUUGE MISTAKE people make.. it's assuming that Virgin Voyages never changes. THEY CHANGE A LOT and allllll the time. Here's what you need to know in 2025... CHANGE 1: BRUNCH *and* DINNER can be booked in the app 45 days in advance. Before it was dinner only. CHANGE 2: ENTERTAINMENT IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. Before you *HAD* to book it. Fewer things must booked in advance. For example: "ticketed events" like Grog Walk (a bar crawl in which you receive a tonnn of drinks) must be booked, *SOME* shows (like It's a Ship Show which is a seated dinner and show) and *WORKOUTS* need to be booked in advance. Helpful to know: VHS is not considered a workout, it's considered entertainment (because it's put on by The Happenings Cast and not the fitness team). BOTTOM LINE: fewer things need to be booked, check the app once you're on board! CHANGE 3: PIZZA PLACE BUZZER. I feel like they lost their ability to "reach". NEW KEY STRATEGY: when I place my order I say "about how long?" then I set an alarm on my apple watch, go dance, give a buffer of a few mins, and go up if the buzzer hasn't gone off. πŸ’°*REMEMBER* Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! https://bookwithcl.com πŸ›οΈ Shop Amazon items I recommend for your Virgin Voyages Cruise: https://www.amazon.com/shop/whereintheworldiscl/list/JIWQXUV5AZRL πŸ“ MUST KNOW TIPS in a printable POCKET GUIDE for your sailing! https://christinelozada.com/courses/virgin-voyages-pocket-guide/ πŸŽ₯ SEE THE ENTIRE Virgin Voyages PLAYLIST: https://bit.ly/VirginVoyageCruise β˜‘οΈ Get a FREE Virgin Voyages packing list: https://christinelozada.kit.com/183f30a09b πŸŽ‰ Join the COMMUNITY!
