Creator's Key Takeaways

Virgin Voyages is changing how you book a cruise. They are shifting away from the all-inclusive model.

They decided for whatever reason to change this something that everybody loves.

Virgin is adding gratuitities. They're trying to convince us that they're not.

This is an added fee. Right? So, are you were you lying to us then or are you lying to us now?

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a Virgin cruise before October 6th to avoid the new gratuity fee.
โœ“Consider booking Disney cruises instead if the changes are unappealing.
