Secret and Not-So-Secret Things About Virgin Voyages
We did Rockstar "Sweet Aft Suite" and Loved it. The views from the balcony was awesome and the wife and I loved every minute of our cruise.
Your recent posts about London and mention on this video has changed my idea about this destination. I may just need to hop on that nonstop from Tampa. Do you think 4-5 days is enough to get a good taste?
We are Virgin virgins! No kids = no problem (except for the grandparents who will have to manage the chaos). To celebrate, a haiku: Waves crash, snacks abound, Sunburned, with drinks in my hand- Diet? Out of town.
Loved all of the special touches that Virgin offers that made it feel like more of an elevated experience. There was so much to do and see and EAT that I need to sail again to experience more. The Caesar salad and shrimp at the Dock House are calling my name!
It’s great to see this activity. I wasn’t sure about it when we sailed but now I’m definitely adding it to my must-do list for our next sailing. So cool!
#5 is surprising to me. Are there any adults only areas? Did the kids onboard seem to be “contained”? Maybe I should just stick to VV lol.
Shhh! Don’t tell all of the secrets. There are a few of these that I didn’t know about. I guess I’ll have to book another sailing to see the compass and cipher.
Living the high life with Virgin Voyages' Rockstar Suites! 🌟 It seems like cruising in a private VIP paradise-luxury, comfort, and endless perks. Definitely adding this to my 2025 vision board.
Great guide, thank you! I’m so glad you told us about the PJ party and Scarlet Night before we sailed. We had so much fun at both parties and there were so many people that participated and got “dressed up.” Even if you don’t think you’d be interested just pack in case you catch the vibe and want to participate.
Great tips! You definitely covered all of the basic must-do things to make your cruise more enjoyable.
Too rich for my blood but if I had the money I definitely think it would be worth it.
Not to toot my own horn but I plan all of my vacations and some for friends and family as well. I love doing the research and finding my own deals. That being said we worked with Laura to book a Virgin cruise and so glad we did! I’ll always go through her for booking cruises in the future. Laura is so helpful and communicative and the extra perks like sailor loot and discount were just the icing on the cake.
Great advice! Thankfully we did our research beforehand and got some great advice from you before we boarded our Virgin Voyage.
So cool! Kayaking in Florida is great but I’m definitely adding this to my bucket list.
I would have that coffee punch card filled up so fast and would also start my morning each day at the Cove!
We went on a low budget cruise out of Mobile, Alabama for our honeymoon 15 years ago. It was a rowdy, dirty, rough ride with kids and drunk people all over the place. While the food was decent, we didn’t feel comfortable roaming the ship and couldn’t wait to get off on our first stop. It made for some unforgettable stories and a hilarious start to our marriage. No kids, restaurants anywhere any time and free hydration sounds like a dream!
I love the curated cocktails and elevated choices on Virgin. I think the prices were fair and we had a bar tab to spend which helped. It’s a different vibe than the all you can drink cruise lines, I think.
No kids will always be the winner for me.
Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways- words of wisdom from the late great Anthony Bourdain.
You got us so much sailor loot on our last booking we had to shop on the last night to spend the rest. Our dog sitter thanks you for the perfume ;)
I don’t remember this on my sailing. Two of my favorites together!
Great advice. Worth a shot next time!
Way more chic than a trash bag or dollar store poncho you see at least once per sailing!
Royal Caribbean seems like a floating mall (though I do think Central Park seems cool). If I were to try a new cruise line it would be one of the new Celebrity ships.
We cruised with Virgin one time and found it very enjoyable. I only wished I had found your channel prior. The information you’re posting is very helpful. We had to learn on the fly. Keep up the great work!
@@jerrygallo6481 thank you so much for watching! I would love to help with your next one!
Great info and what a huge terrace! I'd love to rest my cheeks in this rockstar suite one day 🛳️❤
This packing guide is like a treasure map for the ultimate Virgin Voyages adventure! From stylish outfits for Scarlet Night to practical tips I never thought of, this video has me sea-riously excited to set sail!
Thanks for watching, Stephanie! I'm so glad this was helpful!
Always love a balcony!
Same here!
Cheeky room for cheeky claps
This is the cure for me not to look like Adam Sandler as a Mom. The ultimate refresh and restart package.
Imagine..no kids & a parents get away. Thank god we cant have anymore kidd because id leave loaded in more than one way
This is a great video! I have read you can hear the set-up of the pool deck at 6:30 AM if in the Brilliant Suite. I am a light sleeper. Have you noticed this?
Thank you for watching! We have heard some noise from the pool deck when we've stayed in Brilliant Suites but never anything that woke us up that early. The only time I've noticed it was loud was during the day if the DJ is spinning and during the Scarlet Night pool party. We're usually out and about during the day and partaking in the pool party, so it has not bothered us.
Can I bring 2 bottles of wine if I'm traveling solo?
You sure can! Here's what VV's Terms and Conditions say: Sailors may bring up to (2) 750 mL bottles of wine, sparkling wine or Champagne per cabin in carry-on bags..
Wonder how you open them. Is there something in the room ?
@@NayaWrap There a wine bottle opener in each cabin or you can bring it to a restaurant and they'll charge a corkage fee.
In general, yes, Celebrity can be quieter but they're not always quiet. I find the Edge class ships don't have intimate lounges and not many lounges at all where you can find a good amount of them on any Royal Caribbean ship. There are a lot of bars on the Edge class ships, but not lounges (at least not inside the ship). The more intimate feeling Celebrity ships are the Solstice class. But both Solstice and Edge class ships can have active pools and Grand Foyer/Plaza areas. So, I don't know. While Royal Caribbean owns Celebrity, Celebrity was an already established line with their own style. They may share apps and such and some other aspects, but the two lines are very different in feel.
Thanks for doing the comparison. From my experience, Royal Caribbean mega-ships offer more activities and shows, but they need to be booked well in advance of boarding, or they’ll be fully booked. Additionally, you need to arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the shows or activities, or your seat will be given to people on standby. On the other hand, with Celebrity Cruises, even if you're late for a show, there are usually extra seats available. I prefer Celebrity because it offers a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer passengers, so it's easy to find seats near the pool, buffet, or theater. In contrast, Royal Caribbean mega-ships require advanced booking for almost everything, which can feel like a rushed schedule rather than a relaxing vacation. However, if you’re traveling with kids, Royal Caribbean is a better choice as it offers more activities specifically for children.
Thank you! It was so hard to find a video with information for men.
Thanks for watching! So glad this was helpful ❤
Celebrity looks nice and classy, but boring!
It's not as classy or as boring as these clips suggests. There are a lot of people up and dancing and such on Celebrity and some can get loud at times.
Great tips! ❤
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Hello! Thank you for this video. I'm interested in the brilliant suite but I like to go to bed early 😂 do the pool parties go really late and does the noise transfer into the room too much where it would disrupt my sleep?
Thanks for watching! The only late night party at the pool is typically Scarlet Night, so I would still book a Brilliant Suite. The pool party on Scarlet night is a highlight, so I highly recommend attending that.
Thanks for the comparison. Now that they status match, I'm trying to figure out who to focus on for status match. Depends on what I am looking for on that vacation. It is interesting how the Celebrity does their loyalty program. Not based on number of nights. The problem I have with them is, I tend to cruise in interior cabins. Getting status that way will time a lifetime it seems.
Thanks for watching! I recommend focusing on the cruise line you think you'll cruise with the most often.
More pictures of the husband than I saw on my vacay video!
Yeah, im going to virgin and if I knew this before, I would not buy it. You can easily be caught on this and end up paying WAY more.
Most of the clients actually end up really enjoying how Virgin has structured their onboard beverage program. Water and soda being included saves money and alcoholic drinks and speciality coffees are priced very reasonably.
Wow beautiful thanks for sharing and now I'm your new subscriber from Canada please stay connected and have a great day ❤️
