I’m 52 and my girlfriend is 18, thin and beautiful so I would never take her on a cruise like that. The Weight Watchers crowd there would following her everywhere. 😂😂😂😂
I understand your thing about the rain and embracing it. I lived in the Philippines in the mid 7'0's at Clark AB. We would shower outside. We also danced with the lady airmen next door. love when i get some random video in my feed and it was well done as this. Triggered great memories. Bucket list
I am not into cruises but found this really interesting. It saves me going on a cruise itself and I was especially impressed by your very eloquent description. it makes a change to hear somebody speaking without saying' you know' or 'yes' in the middle of a sentence. You presumably did well at school!.
@@FactsMatter I'm also watching, but I have no desire whatsoever to vacation on a cruise ship. I was simply curious as to what activities are on a cruise ship. That's just not my idea of fun.
Thanks for the review video! I just got back from my first Virgin Valiant Lady cruise to Key West, cruising solo, and I believe I’m on the cruise right after yours! I even recognize some of the solo cruisers, especially Mark, who was doing back to back cruises with Virgin. Your experience is exactly what I felt. It’s a cruise with a lot of night parties. I’m not a party or nightlife person, but the folks working on the cruise is very energetic and make everyone enjoys the parties, which is amazing. I also agree Razzle Dazzle food is subpar to the other restaurant on the ship. Also, the pizza on the ship was really good. Overall, I had lot of fun even though it’s a solo trip, and I’d do it again if Virgin can keep it up. ❤
So glad I finally got to meet you on this cruise!!! Especially since I had just missed you when you stopped working for them! It was a fun one despite the weather!
I felt sooooo seen with this video! I had my first solo cruise this past January (on Celebrity Summit) and my next cruise is Feb 2025 on Allure of the Seas with Atlantis Event. I am a micro-planner and a budding solo cruiser; you giving a step by step- time by time account was perfect for my style of planning! I feel much more optimistic about attending a solo meetup and just overall, more confident about cruising alone. Thank you and more videos like this!!!!
Ahhhhh thank you so so much. I am absolutely thrilled you enjoyed this video and it will help you plan! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Also I hope you have a great cruise in Feb! 🥰😘
I must admit I was very skeptical to watch this video at first. But as it went on, I became more at ease and found it very enjoyable. Sounds like you had a fun time. Thank you for sharing your experience with us
Thank you so much. My wife and I will take our 2nd VV cruise in a few months. It says a lot about the cruise line when ex-employees want to return as passengers.
AWESOME & DETAILED video!!! ..I never knew they had a solo cruisers thing! I always sail Carnival and hate sailing the Royal Carribean cruise line. I'm booking VOYAGE next time and try it out! ...thanks for the info!
I've done at least six solo cruises on NCL. I really enjoy doing a cruise solo every now and then. Very relaxing and I never get any looks or questions from other passengers. I feel solo cruising is more widespread on NCL. I just got back from a week in the Caribbean and I had a blast 😂
Nice to see you on the other side. I’ve done 6 sailings with VV now with friends. But watching this has made me want to book a solo trip as all my friends have kids or cannot afford it! IM DOING IT!!! ❤
Omg you should. I'm sure you'll have a fab time. Especially if you have already been onboard and know you like Virgin! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰😘
Thanks for all this as I'm sailing on the Resilient Lady to the Caribbean in the Spring. I've traveled solo on NCL twice and on Celebrity for a TA, so I am looking forward to seeing what Virgin has to offer!
Hi Lucy. Enjoyed seeing you back on VL....as a passenger. Your early videos as crew on VV certainly motivated us to book a VV cruise and we met you on the VL Med Mermaiden back in May 2022. We've done five now. Probably enough as, of course, everything is much the same, but never say never.
Ahh thank you so much! I completely understand not wanting to cruise until they change things up a little. It's a shame they didn't change things up on the most recent ships!
I appreciate that yo stay out when it rains. I still remember when I was a 12 yo kid at the beach... watching people in the sea, running out of the water because it started raining. I mean, if your intention is to get into water and get wet, don't run from the water coming down... Now, I do understand that for ladies with hairdoes and whatnot, it might not be as easy, but you "took it" like a trooper, congrats ;) hug from france.
@@CruisingAsCrew Oh yeah, them lighting strikes be tricky... especially if you have just permed your hair... I mean, as soon as you jump into your next life, you're good to go straight back to the hairdresser.
I remember getting my first real boner on that beach. Too many whale tails got it going. I remember my friends mom helped me with my issue and a good ole rub and tug in the ladies bathroom. I then learned how to proposition the local entertainment as well.
YOU are the reason over 20 of us have sailed repeatedly with Virgin and love it! You are the best marketing department they never had. We are so happy to see you do this video and have missed you. BTW The Sail Away Magazine has become my favorite subscription, again, all because of you. Cheers and all the best to you Lucy!

I wish I had been onboard with that storm, it looked epic! I was in Cuba in 2003 and we had a torrential downpour that flooded the resort, I loved wandering round in it! As for solo cruising, I've accpeted I'll not be meeting anyone to go on holiday with soon so booked Resilient Lady last August for next June! It was spur of the moment and have since booked two more of the ladyships and a P&O to the Norwegian Fjords to keep me going until I can get round to visiting Alaska. I should explain I've not been abroad for over 10 years so I am due a break, that said would someone please hide my credit card! 😂
Oh yeah is was brilliant. I can imagine the one in Cuba was as good! That's awsome! I hope you'll have a great time sailing solo on all those ships. I'm jealous of your Norwegian Fjords cruise. That will be fabulous!
I thoroughly enjoyed my solo cruise on VV. I met so many nice people in the solo meetup activities. At the solo sail away meetup they had us start a WhatApp group and you could always find someone headed to some show or activity to meet up with if you wanted. The Happenings Cast assigned to the solos was great about making sure everyone was having a great time. Solo cruising makes for such a relaxing vacation. I’ll definitely be sailing VV solo again. Actually 2 scheduled. LOL. Cozumel in January and Alaska in 2026. I am sooo excited about Alaska!
Hey first wanted to say I love your content and keep it up. As same c cruise ship employee ( 4 years onboard) I can relate to some of your experiences and…..though married I recently started solo cruising….as part of an inner calling for a more digital nomad life being in IT and I’ve enjoyed it so far. Did Virgin a few months ago and loved it…..heck met a couple interesting men too lol……the other vid of yours that hit home for me was the one on sleeping with fellow crew members and that closed environment…..know it too well…..keep doing what you do my dear.
Hey, thank you so much. Glad to hear you had a good time on your solo cruise. It's much more fun that I expected! Thanks for watching and commenting! X
@ believe it or not you keep inspiring me and i actually have a Caribbean 7 days next week where I’m meeting a nice solo French engineer lol……I’m loving this life
@ thank you and the benefits of being a solo cruiser who wants to live life……despite having a husband who refuses to come and wants to be in his office lol
@@madridfan2007 Nice you have that kind of open marriage relationship where you can vacation alone and hook up with other men. Do you ever tell your husband about your “adult adventures “ or do you keep that a secret? 😅 People would be surprised at how many open and Cuckold relationships there are these days.
So good to see you back on board a Virgin Voyages cruise and enjoying it as a sailor this time. I watched your videos back when I was deciding to book a cruise, which I did on the Valiant Lady in July 2023. It was the best holiday I've ever had. ps That trouser suit looked epic.

All depends what you want. I travel solo to do what I want when I want to do it and my husband doesn't enjoy cruising as much as I do.

Excellent video - very nice of you to share this experience. About a year after dad died mom went on a cruise with a couple of GF's & she had fun. This looks like a fun cruise for younger people.
You know life's all about living and learning and it's been that way since we all popped out the rabbit hole. Life's only limited by ones fear. Everytime you push your limits and walk outside your comfort zone you take a step up twards the next level. Usually the things that mean something to you your heart will fight for threw the tough times and give you that edge to crest the top and hit the goal. Nobody in this world is the same. They go threw different things, they want different things and need different things so who's to judge others when their just trying to find their own way to figure out what they really want. The funny is no matter how long you try to look away from things the reality never changes.
I hope you get paid extremely well for this post as your portrayal of this cruise has perked my and probably lots of other peoples curiosity. Though I wonder how many men watching this are thinking if you are the standard I'm in. 😂😂😂
watching everything it is so fun to compare the differences from now to the 80s- I was a manager of the duty free shops, spa, salon and photogs. Travelled all over the world- from South pacific to Med. We were treated like passengers. had full privileges- could eat in our own mess or in the passenger dining room, go to all shows and bars and no alcohol limits. Only three rules we had - We couldn't go in the casino (this applied to all staff and crew), we couldn't sit at a bar stool (passengers only) and we were not allowed in passenger cabins. The things that happened back then, ohh my!! From staff strikes on board due to flooding in our cabins over a few months to leaving the ship over night and spending it in port and catching up with the ship the next day by flying on. I can see much has changed from back then. Continue the great work!!
This was so fun and interesting to watch a great I spent 5 years working on cruises worldwide in the late 80s- Ohh my!! The stories from back then too!!
I made the mistake of traveling alone after losing my beloved bride, to find my solace. I must’ve had “Sugar Daddy” written on my head cuz there were way too many “Sheilas” wanting something I wasn’t willing to give…
I've experienced storms where the pools had to be drained and at other times watched the ship flex as it moved with the swell. Never sailed solo, my wife would be gutted, but if I were 30+ years younger and solo this looks to be a great way to go. You look great @ 10.00 when on the balcony, hope you realise!
This was great info for me. I'm actually considering a solo cruise in the near future. Wish you would have focused more on the food, since I am a foodie. But it is great to know that there are daily single cruisers meet ups. I'll definitely be giving Virgin a closer look as I get near booking!
I would have no hesitation in sailing solo on an adults only cruise. I am very open minded and sailed many times solo enjoying everyone of my cruises.The video was a good insight into Virgin cruises.
I have loved, loved, LOVED both times I have sailed on Scarlet Lady! The Happenings Crew certainly did make us solo cruisers feel right at home and kept us entertained and occupied! I am eagerly scoping out and planning my next cruise with VV, maybe on Valiant Lady or may try and save my pennies and hit up Brilliant Lady up to Alaska! One or the other it WILL happen, just don't know how soon from now it will be!! Thanks for posting this Lucy!
I see the benefits of cruising alone, however I am the type of guy who likes to share experiences with someone. Not getting home and showing them pictures and telling them all about it. Those are memories that are wonderful to talk about in the future together.
Unless you now dislike them, or they were horrible to travel with and spoiled it, and you broke up. 😂 Ask me how I know. I travel solo now. I focus on the new people I meet, not the ones at home.
It sounds like you had an amazing cruise!! I just did my first solo cruise on Carnival Jubilee and had a blast! I did have several friends on the cruise and made plenty more, but I thoroughly enjoyed cruising solo.
I sailed solo for my first time on Scarlet Lady at the end of September (I’m a widower) and I had a fantastic experience. The people, the crew , the food, the whole experience was freaking amazing! I could not recommend it enough.
Great video. I'm about to go on my first cruise ever this Feb. Looking forward to enjoying the Virgin atmosphere. I must say that you look drop dead gorgeous in that lacy top under the jacket.
Hey Lucy, you look lovely as ever! Never did a solo cruise but seriously considering it as I am semi retired and work online. But a bit shy when it comes to mingling with strangers.
I would concur with those who’ve been on Celebrity. Celebrity does a great job of fun offerings and you just have to roll up your sleeves and participate. But, the rooms and the ship decor are SO much nicer and elegant than what you showed on the VV ship which looked like a low-level cruise line. Food is also very, very good at all venues. We’ve done nearly all the major cruise lines and Celebrity is by far our favorite. The key (as with most major brands) is status. The higher your cruise points status the more perks you get comped to you. So, find a cruise line you like and build up those points.
I'm hoping to go on my first cruise sometime soon next year. I have been looking at different reviews and videos on them. This one is definitely catching my attention in picking
I love sailing solo and would love to try virgin voyages. Only thing that stopped me from doing it is that I have status on NCL but someday I'll fit a 5 night Virgin cruise into my schedule
Could never understand going on a floating petri dish surrounded by thousands of people but each 2 their own. Great upload and thank you. New sub here Australia.
Great video! While I haven’t done any solo cruises, my spouse and I have been on 2 VV cruises and have several more already booked. We will be on the ship for Christmas and then again in April 2025 for another Transatlantic sailing. Then we have 2 or 3 already booked for 2026.
Me and my wife did our first med cruise end of the second year of covidthere was some shore restrictions but ship was only half full we’ve now done six cruises but that one was by far the best
I much prefer floating down the Amazon in an old decrepit boat with the locals watching the amazing scenery slowly pass by, as I did 20 years ago. Now that I'm older I might enjoy more comfort, but I'd still seek a cruise whose focus is more on the scenery than simply partying or "lounging around the pool" with hundreds of other people. I also think we need to start thinking more about the environment in the decisions we make.
Been on many cruises but not Virgin. By the sounds of it, it sounds decent if you have an open mind. No prudes allowed. I’m not far from Miami so I have to check it out.
You seem like so much fun. I usually travel alone. But I travel on Norwegian. I’m scared to venture on other ships I’m a creature of habit. Love the accent. Love the look. Hope that wasn’t weird.
Hey, thanks so much! I get that. Once you have found something you like, it's hard to spend your money on something else that's unknown! Maybe one day, hey? Thanks for watching and for the comment! Xx
So entertaining. I love the rain too so cleansing. Thanks for a great well produced and edited story, loved it. I’m surprised you’re single you are beautiful 😮. Cheers Dav
Ex crew member here. My last ship was Holland America Ryndam and we had a gay cruise one week. Everyone was wearing tags with colours saying how "available" they were, including crew 😅It was an interesting cruise to say the least!
No idea why this video appeared on the screen with the usual bunch of windows, but it was interesting to watch. We cruise, haven't with Virgin though. Lucy, great video, you look amazing, in all weathers 🙂 And great job with the voice over, didn't hear "like" once! 🙂 One thing to note is that the audio in the video is only in the left channel when listening on headphones, don't know what caused that. Stay safe.
my left ear really enjoyed this video
Yes. Right ear only comes in for the adverts.
I thought. IHad wax buildup
@@wayneguy6043 I thought my pricey headphones got busted. Pretty miffed.

What a let down. Next time, go on an upside down pineapple cruise. You used them as click bait.
Swingers cruises are always very social!
She's a foodie. Got it.
Where's the action. The stories.

I’m 52 and my girlfriend is 18, thin and beautiful so I would never take her on a cruise like that. The Weight Watchers crowd there would following her everywhere.

I wanted to hear more stories of debauchery, noisy neighbors and you involved in all this. She is more of a foodie.
@@GluteusMaximus21 Well done! I'm 56 with a 32 year old, and I thought I was doing great. Lol
I understand your thing about the rain and embracing it. I lived in the Philippines in the mid 7'0's at Clark AB. We would shower outside. We also danced with the lady airmen next door. love when i get some random video in my feed and it was well done as this. Triggered great memories. Bucket list
I'm moving to the Philippines soon, building a home there now.
Looks like a great way to unwind. As a parent a a holiday free of kids sounds awesome!!
I am not into cruises but found this really interesting. It saves me going on a cruise itself and I was especially impressed by your very eloquent description. it makes a change to hear somebody speaking without saying' you know' or 'yes' in the middle of a sentence. You presumably did well at school!.
Or AY
How can it be a sentence without "like", "right" a few dozen times.
Presumably you didn’t do well in school. Apostrophes and quotation marks are not interchangeable.
Would I consider taking such a cruise? DEFINITELY. Thanks for your many insights, enthusiasm, and praise!
Go to the Villages in Florida on a Saturday night, you’ll save an expensive boat ride…..😂
Everyone has their own life & interests. I couldn't think of anything worse than being stuck on a boat with hundreds of people.
It's 1000's not hundreds
And yet here you are watching videos of people doing it…. And loving it.
And you still think you’re right.
Sigh.

Thanks for this, Lucy. I'm now even more excited about cruising solo on the Brilliant Lady in 2026!

Excellent video - very nice of you to share this experience. About a year after dad died mom went on a cruise with a couple of GF's & she had fun. This looks like a fun cruise for younger people.
I enjoy cruising alone!
You know life's all about living and learning and it's been that way since we all popped out the rabbit hole. Life's only limited by ones fear. Everytime you push your limits and walk outside your comfort zone you take a step up twards the next level. Usually the things that mean something to you your heart will fight for threw the tough times and give you that edge to crest the top and hit the goal. Nobody in this world is the same. They go threw different things, they want different things and need different things so who's to judge others when their just trying to find their own way to figure out what they really want. The funny is no matter how long you try to look away from things the reality never changes.
I’m in my 60s and Solo and only interested in the food 🥘. Will not be doing pool parties and crowded areas. Will hope to enjoy the shows 😊
Oh you will love the food. Well, I hope so. Virgin have become known for their food, so you'll be in good hands!!
I hope you get paid extremely well for this post as your portrayal of this cruise has perked my and probably lots of other peoples curiosity. Though I wonder how many men watching this are thinking if you are the standard I'm in. 😂😂😂
watching everything it is so fun to compare the differences from now to the 80s- I was a manager of the duty free shops, spa, salon and photogs. Travelled all over the world- from South pacific to Med. We were treated like passengers. had full privileges- could eat in our own mess or in the passenger dining room, go to all shows and bars and no alcohol limits. Only three rules we had - We couldn't go in the casino (this applied to all staff and crew), we couldn't sit at a bar stool (passengers only) and we were not allowed in passenger cabins. The things that happened back then, ohh my!! From staff strikes on board due to flooding in our cabins over a few months to leaving the ship over night and spending it in port and catching up with the ship the next day by flying on. I can see much has changed from back then. Continue the great work!!
This was so fun and interesting to watch a great I spent 5 years working on cruises worldwide in the late 80s- Ohh my!! The stories from back then too!!
Goofer?
Have you tried cruising on a MAERSK freighter ? 🚢
now THAT'S funny!!!! I see those floating everywhere these days.
It’s possible and very relaxing good way to catch up on some reading
must to be the best,ever,with al ot of cheap chinese food???
Love you, Lucy! Thanks for this video. I've been looking at Virgin Voyages for a while now. This helps! Be well. ❤
Thank you so much! Glad it helps!
I made the mistake of traveling alone after losing my beloved bride, to find my solace. I must’ve had “Sugar Daddy” written on my head cuz there were way too many “Sheilas” wanting something I wasn’t willing to give…
you surexyou understood the ask?
Sorry about your loss
@@bb5242Most Def, I’ve been around the block…
@@joeskwara5823Thank You Sir. God Bless You…🙏
7:20 colouring activities on the cruise. Nice🎉
I've experienced storms where the pools had to be drained and at other times watched the ship flex as it moved with the swell. Never sailed solo, my wife would be gutted, but if I were 30+ years younger and solo this looks to be a great way to go. You look great @ 10.00 when on the balcony, hope you realise!
This was great info for me. I'm actually considering a solo cruise in the near future. Wish you would have focused more on the food, since I am a foodie. But it is great to know that there are daily single cruisers meet ups. I'll definitely be giving Virgin a closer look as I get near booking!
I would have no hesitation in sailing solo on an adults only cruise. I am very open minded and sailed many times solo enjoying everyone of my cruises.The video was a good insight into Virgin cruises.
I have loved, loved, LOVED both times I have sailed on Scarlet Lady! The Happenings Crew certainly did make us solo cruisers feel right at home and kept us entertained and occupied! I am eagerly scoping out and planning my next cruise with VV, maybe on Valiant Lady or may try and save my pennies and hit up Brilliant Lady up to Alaska! One or the other it WILL happen, just don't know how soon from now it will be!! Thanks for posting this Lucy!
Ohh how exciting. I was also looking at the Alaska trip. It looks incredible!
Thanks so much fir watching and commenting! Xxx
I see the benefits of cruising alone, however I am the type of guy who likes to share experiences with someone. Not getting home and showing them pictures and telling them all about it. Those are memories that are wonderful to talk about in the future together.
Unless you now dislike them, or they were horrible to travel with and spoiled it, and you broke up. 😂 Ask me how I know.
I travel solo now. I focus on the new people I meet, not the ones at home.
It sounds like you had an amazing cruise!!
I just did my first solo cruise on Carnival Jubilee and had a blast! I did have several friends on the cruise and made plenty more, but I thoroughly enjoyed cruising solo.
Ohh wow, I'm so glad you had a good time!!! I really enjoyed cruising solo. More than I thaught I would actually! Thanks for commenting! 🥰
I sailed solo for my first time on Scarlet Lady at the end of September (I’m a widower) and I had a fantastic experience. The people, the crew , the food, the whole experience was freaking amazing! I could not recommend it enough.
widow here. im thinking of booking it also!
Great video. I'm about to go on my first cruise ever this Feb. Looking forward to enjoying the Virgin atmosphere. I must say that you look drop dead gorgeous in that lacy top under the jacket.
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise! Thanks for watching! X
That's what i always thought these solo adults only cruises were for, hooking up. Good to know you can go and not get pestered about it
She definitely did not say that.
Read between the lines.
Nope they supply everyone with vibrators so you can do the same thing as when your home. When I heard that I was like thats sad, really sad.
Love cruises for sure and prefer the newer larger ships. I am ready to get off after 7 days. Never been on a Virgin cruise or a swingers cruise.
Can't wait until the boxed wine and cat video happens in a few years.
🎯😉
why can't she meet someone?
Comment of the week 🤣🤣🤣
@@bb5242 of course she can, but we just don’t believe it due to her behavior (modern woman, strong, independent etc)
Thanks! I’ve been looking for a no kids allowed cruise and was really nice to hear it’s not just a swingers cruise! Lol
Awsome. Thanks for watching! X
hi Can i get to know you more ?
Hey Lucy, you look lovely as ever! Never did a solo cruise but seriously considering it as I am semi retired and work online. But a bit shy when it comes to mingling with strangers.
I would concur with those who’ve been on Celebrity. Celebrity does a great job of fun offerings and you just have to roll up your sleeves and participate. But, the rooms and the ship decor are SO much nicer and elegant than what you showed on the VV ship which looked like a low-level cruise line. Food is also very, very good at all venues. We’ve done nearly all the major cruise lines and Celebrity is by far our favorite. The key (as with most major brands) is status. The higher your cruise points status the more perks you get comped to you. So, find a cruise line you like and build up those points.
Exciting times ahead with Alemio Network! Just joined the presale - can't wait to see where this project goes
I'm hoping to go on my first cruise sometime soon next year. I have been looking at different reviews and videos on them. This one is definitely catching my attention in picking
You look sooo much more gorgeous without heavy makeup 😊 You have natural beauty 😊 Save time on doing your makeup😁
Ahh thank you so much. Very sweet of you to say! 😘
I love sailing solo and would love to try virgin voyages. Only thing that stopped me from doing it is that I have status on NCL but someday I'll fit a 5 night Virgin cruise into my schedule
just didn’t med 10 day and it was phenomenal! absolutely loved the no kids concept
Oh, how amazing! So glad you had a great time!
@ glad you’re back
Looks like it blast going along solo.
Could never understand going on a floating petri dish surrounded by thousands of people but each 2 their own. Great upload and thank you. New sub here Australia.
Since it sounds like you have never been,....you have no clue what you are missing out on.
I really enjoyed your video. I'd love to do a cruise like this.
That boat is full of seamen.
Ahoy Sailor
And mussels too
🤣🤣🤣 semen
😂
LOL!!!
Great video! While I haven’t done any solo cruises, my spouse and I have been on 2 VV cruises and have several more already booked. We will be on the ship for Christmas and then again in April 2025 for another Transatlantic sailing. Then we have 2 or 3 already booked for 2026.
Inquiring minds want to know......did you get your razzle dazzled??!!🎉😀
😂😂😂
Fantastic video taking us all there, never been on a cruise so especially insightful. And looks like you were the only hottie on the trip!
Thank you. I would always recommend atleast trying a cruise once! Thanks for watching.
I thought the same thing. I would have left the rest of the single ladies for you, ha ha 😂
Did you run into any crew you used to work with?
I did run into a few familiar faces. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching! 🥰
I LOVE WHAT YOU CALL RAUNCHY IT WAS JUST TO ME LIKE SILLY 😜😜😜
0:10 the pinkyyy
Me and my wife did our first med cruise end of the second year of covidthere was some shore restrictions but ship was only half full we’ve now done six cruises but that one was by far the best
I much prefer floating down the Amazon in an old decrepit boat with the locals watching the amazing scenery slowly pass by, as I did 20 years ago. Now that I'm older I might enjoy more comfort, but I'd still seek a cruise whose focus is more on the scenery than simply partying or "lounging around the pool" with hundreds of other people. I also think we need to start thinking more about the environment in the decisions we make.
Been on many cruises but not Virgin. By the sounds of it, it sounds decent if you have an open mind. No prudes allowed. I’m not far from Miami so I have to check it out.
There's a chance of running into a single with a smile like yours on a solo cruise I'm in 😍
Looking forward to sailing the Virgin ways next month for the 2nd time. Sailor ready to report :).
Woo hoo. You'll have a fabulous time!!!
Adults only sounds good to me. No brats allowed.
I bet you were considered a brat by your neglectful parents as well 😂😂
From what I see there are nothing but brats on that tub!
Yeh, I'm sure there'll be no brats there🤔
You seem like so much fun. I usually travel alone. But I travel on Norwegian. I’m scared to venture on other ships I’m a creature of habit. Love the accent. Love the look. Hope that wasn’t weird.
Hey, thanks so much! I get that. Once you have found something you like, it's hard to spend your money on something else that's unknown! Maybe one day, hey?
Thanks for watching and for the comment! Xx
@ I’ll Definately do it one day. I’d try Virgin cruise lines. I ended up following you on Instagram.
I went on a swingers cruise one time. And that's all I can say about that.
i dont understand... it means swinger.. like swingerclub? line share partner?
So entertaining. I love the rain too so cleansing. Thanks for a great well produced and edited story, loved it. I’m surprised you’re single you are beautiful 😮. Cheers Dav
Ex crew member here. My last ship was Holland America Ryndam and we had a gay cruise one week. Everyone was wearing tags with colours saying how "available" they were, including crew 😅It was an interesting cruise to say the least!
Oh wow, ha ha. Yeah, I have worked on ships when they have hosted gay charter cruises, and you definitely see some things! 🤣 thanks for watching! X
It seems like the rainbow crowd has all the fun! At least on full charters.
Sounds disgusting.
Booty pirates frequently sail the high seas.
@@JonDarntDouchit-i8w jealous??
Brilliant Luce xx
so did u get any strange
Are you kidding me? She certainly found the highest value man on the ship and went after it
i would love to go on a swingers cruise ,that would be fun
I thought they had banned 'cattle ships' ?
You got rogered more times than a WW2 walkie talkie on the cruise 😊
We are done with woke Ness gay crap just too much…….Ready for normal man woman relationships and family….Make Christmas great again ❤
Well said. Love me some Christmas ✝️🎄
Yes, we like our gay Christian’s to stay in the closet.
Don't you think our straightness could be too much? Just a thought...
Solo dining and enjoying the weather whatever it is. That's the way to live.
No idea why this video appeared on the screen with the usual bunch of windows, but it was interesting to watch. We cruise, haven't with Virgin though. Lucy, great video, you look amazing, in all weathers 🙂 And great job with the voice over, didn't hear "like" once! 🙂 One thing to note is that the audio in the video is only in the left channel when listening on headphones, don't know what caused that. Stay safe.
