Sailing out of LA? Here are our top tips! #cruise #virginvoyages #brilliantlady

I am so excited. Um, but I want to give you as your resident West Coast cruiser um, and Virgin Voyages expert, I want to give you some tips on what to know if you are going to be sailing on the Brilliant Lady out of Los Angeles this year.

So, the first thing to know is that the cruise port is not actually in Los Angeles. It's actually in San Pedro.

If you're a Southwest person, Southwest is the only airline that flies out of this terminal. It's going to be a little bit more expensive, but you're going to save yourself time.

Dress warm. It's not Miami. It's not really humid. Bring a jacket. It gets cold at night unless you're going to Mexico.
