Creator's Key Takeaways

I love the food on Virgin. One thing that's interesting is I generally even when I really go overboard, I don't feel as overly full as I do on some other cruise lines.

Richard's rooftop is so relaxing and it's a great spot for sail away because of the relaxing element.

The pizza place is open till 2:00 a.m. There's a bit of a line right now, and everything's made to order. Should have a little bit of weight, but it's it's generally not too bad. And it's very good pizza.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the Brightline website for bag fees and pricing details before traveling.
Don't obsess over reservations; make them if you can but don't stress.
Ask for well drink options and prices at bars to find more affordable choices.
Arrive early for popular shows to secure a good spot.
