Creator's Key Takeaways

it really is kind of a breath of fresh air and I think if you're talking to a virgin voyages employee or executive team member you're probably going to hear that you know it's a new something about a new perspective on what really cruising can be

we definitely put the cart in front of the horse and now we got the the horse back in front

we're definitely seeing not just from a trend perspective but from Sailor feedback and even from crew feedback of you know wanting more offerings from a non-alcoholic and a low alcoholic um kind of spectrum

it's a smart disruption kind of looking at you know kind of again that affordable luxury and finding that value that that choice of not being stuck in a say a box of what a package could be sometimes
