Creator's Key Takeaways

the app is just the the place where you go for everything isn't it um to upload all your cruise information your dining bookings your shore excursions

you definitely need your pajamas your Posh ones and your red gear on a virgin voyages and you don't need your letto and your ball gowns

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack red clothing for Scarlet Night and pajamas for the pajama party.
Upload your details to the app as soon as possible to secure better embarkation time slots.
Set an alarm for 5:00 AM UK time (or midnight US time) 45 days before sailing to book dining reservations.
Join the voyage-specific Facebook group for helpful community tips and information.
Bring refillable water bottles to save money on board.
Bring US adapters and at least one EU plug adapter.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Embarkation time slotsUpload your information to the app early; if you miss the good slots, check the app later to see if you can change them via Facebook group tips.
Dining availabilityBe ready to book at 5:00 AM 45 days out, but don't panic if you miss out as 70% of seating is released later and walk-ins are possible.
Luggage lossEven though Virgin doesn't use printed tags, bring your own luggage labels with your name and cabin number just in case.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We are about to embark on our first VIRGIN cruise. We share what we have learned from our years of cruising and how Virgin differs from other cruises in terms of the preparation needed prior to boarding. We discuss the things that you need to pack, the different language that Virgin uses to describe certain things and very importantly the Virgin Voyages App which is at the heart of organising your holiday even before you step on the ship. If you are an experienced Virgin cruiser let us know what we have missed. What are your best pre-boarding tips for Virgin? This video was shot on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. We love to travel and go on walks and days out. It is really important that we can continue to afford to do this so budgeting wisely is essential. Money is tight and so are we! Our mission is to share hints and tips on travelling, things that are value for money and budgeting. In doing this we also like to bring a little humour and fun into our videos. We hope that you enjoy our content and will consider subscribing. If you have any questions relating to this video please ask in the comments section. We will always reply as quickly as we can. Thank you for watching and happy travelling!
