Creator's Key Takeaways

virgin voyages is exclusively for adults and in the cruising world that can be a GameChanger

the fact that specialty dining is included including at their Habachi restaurant and the sushi and that kind of stuff is a really nice perk

the fact that gratuities are included it means that you aren't kind of nickel and dimed those tips do add up

the beach club at bimin is an open environment but they have an exclusive arrangement with Virgin voyages where when a virgin voyages cruise ship is docked in bimin in the Bahamas virgin passengers have exclusive access at no additional cost

Order a drink with room service to waive the $10 delivery fee
Submit status match at least 7 days before your cruise to enjoy perks
