Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Download and become familiar with the Virgin Voyages app before embarkation to book restaurants and shows.

✓Use the manual button by the balcony door if the automated curtains are not to your liking.

✓If the cabin iPad freezes, try turning it off and on again; a physical TV remote is also available.

✓Plug hair appliances into the US-style socket if the European one fails to work.

✓Set your phone to flight mode while at sea to avoid roaming charges, but keep Wi-Fi on.

✓Set your phone's time and date to manual to avoid time zone confusion caused by automatic updates.

Technology usage — Become familiar with the app before boarding as it is essential for booking activities.

Cabin control — Use the manual buttons or the provided iPad to control lights, temperature, and curtains.

Lack of structure — Don't expect to be 'spoon-fed' or herded; come with an open mind to explore at your own pace.
