Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we're virgins to Virgin and we're about to leave to go get our Uber to head over to the port.

The process with the attendant who initially checked us in and gave us our wrist bracelet was very fast even though it was a long line.

The lamb shank was fantastic. My mahi-mahi was really good.

It's kind of chaotic if you get here too early because they have lines everywhere and the signs are not that easy to see.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If using an Uber to the port, tell the driver to take the bridge instead of the tunnel to avoid construction/traffic.
Stick to your assigned boarding time slot; arriving too early can lead to chaotic lines and confusion.
Check deck maps to see what is directly above your cabin (e.g., the galley/food hall) to avoid noise.
