https://youtu.be/vNDa43qheS8 Thinking of trying Virgin Voyages or just curious how it compares to traditional cruise lines like Holland America, Royal Caribbean, or Carnival? 🚢 In this video, we dive into 10 major differences between Virgin Voyages and other cruise experiences—and some of them might surprise you!
Here’s what you’ll discover in this video:
🛟 Room Key Wristband Hack – Virgin replaces key cards with waterproof wristbands, but there’s a risk of losing it! I will show you how to secure it in 3 different ways. No other people have shown you this, even the crew members do not have a better way.
💸 Tips Included – Unlike other cruise lines that charge $17+/day per person in tips, Virgin includes gratuities in the booking price. It makes passengers and crew happier!
📶 Free Wi-Fi – Stay connected without paying extra. Virgin offers basic free Wi-Fi, enough for emails and travel planning. It not only saves you money on the web browsing, you can also use IP phones such as Google Voice so that you don’t pay Starlink satellite phone plans.
🍽️ Next-Level Dining – Say goodbye to buffets and hello to molecular gastronomy at The Test Kitchen and other specialty restaurants—all included in your fare!
👶 Adults Only – No kids allowed. That means quieter, more relaxed spaces for adults to unwind.
🚢 Modern Ship Design – Designed for modern travelers, the ship features minimalist aesthetics, Instagrammable spots, and smart layouts.
📱 App-First Experience – Don’t expect printed schedules. Virgin runs on digital planning via an app—less paper, more tech, but it comes with a few hiccups.
🎭 Immersive Entertainment – Pop-up acts, cabaret shows, and themed nights like Scarlet Night replace the usual Broadway-style shows.
👗 No Formal Nights – Enjoy a relaxed, casual vibe with zero pressure to dress up.
🛍️ No Hard Selling – There’s a spa and shops, but no aggressive push for portraits, art auctions, or other upcharges. You spend only if you want to.
✨ This video was filmed aboard the Resilient Lady, one of Virgin’s newest ships (launched in 2023), and includes footage of onboard experiences, dining, entertainment, and real tips for making the most of your cruise.
