Creator's Key Takeaways

were we too old for a virgin voyage

an absolute standout on Virgin voyages is the food with 20 different eateries on board

the second thing that virgin does better than any other cruise line that we've been on is Fitness

age is not important in determining if a virgin Voyage is right for you but personal preferences are

Creator's Tips & Advice

Register for fitness classes soon after boarding to secure a spot
Cancel fitness class reservations if you cannot attend so others can take the spot
Sit in the balcony at The Manor to avoid becoming part of the cabaret show
Pack something red for Scarlet Night
Use the ship's app to book reservations and track daily activities
