Creator's Key Takeaways

I have the Loyalty status which is their um virgin's uh version of loyalty called Deep Blue extras

I really love this ship I love the vibe but everyone's in a great mood and everyone's chatty and talkative and friendly

dinner at razzled Dazzle wasn't the best dinner that I've had I had a salad and a pasta dish and to be honest I was pretty underwhelmed by both of them

the best thing about Virgin voyages the hammock I'll be spending many an hour in this thing

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive early at the port if it's disorganized to figure things out
βœ“Use the refillable water stations all over the ship
βœ“Book tattoo appointments early as slots fill up quickly

YouTube Video Description↓

Welcome to Mer Cruises Solo! Today is boarding day in San Juan, and I'm getting onboard the Valiant Lady, a ship I've been on once before. This cruise goes to quite a few new ports for me (itinerary below) and I'm so excited to be back on Virgin, a cruise line I absolutely LOVE! Come along with me as I show you the boarding process, explore the ship, enjoy some champagne at the sail away party and have dinner at Razzle Dazzle! There's never any shortage of excitement on Virgin, but plenty of chill to be found too :) Day 1: San Juan, Puerto Rico Day 2: Tortola, British Virgin Islands Day 3: Pointe-A-Pitre, Guadeloupe Day 4: Bridgetown, Barbados Day 5: Castries, St. Lucia Day 6: St. John's, Antigua Day 7: At Sea Day 8: San Juan / Disembarkation *NOTE: At the time I filmed and edited this video I commented that Virgin ended their status match program in December of 2023, but as of this week (April 3, 2024) they announced that it has been reinstated and their sailing club (loyalty program) has changed.
