Creator's Key Takeaways

I think the people we really want to hear from tonight are Tracy and Michael because first sailing, also very experienced Disney cruisers.

I was afraid I wasn't cool enough for Virgin Voyages. I got to tell you though that everyone is cool enough for Virgin Voyages.

The pizza on this ship beat Disney's pizza every time and I had it four times.

We will definitely sail on Virgin again. Disney still has our heart... but we see a place for Virgin Voyages in our cruise repertoire.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a longer sailing (7 nights) to avoid a rowdier crowd on shorter sailings.
Use the app to make dining reservations once on board, unless you're in a Rockstar category.
Bring your own cup for drinks to reduce waste, as the ship discourages single-use containers.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Apprehension about the ship being too wild or party-focusedThere are spaces for all adult types; longer sailings tend to be less rowdy.
Worry about not being 'cool enough' for the Virgin Voyages vibeThe ship is inclusive and diverse; everyone can find their place.

We’re going adults-only and sharing all the juicy details from our latest cruise—this time aboard Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady with our friends Tracy and Michael (aka the DCL Duo Sr.)!
