Back-to-Back Virgin Voyages Cruises: A First Mate’s Tips
Thinking about staying on for a second Virgin sailing? Here's what I tell my clients about keeping your cabin, getting through turnaround day and making sure no Bar Tab gets left behind.
What Is a Virgin Voyages Bar Tab? Here’s How It Actually Works!
One of the biggest differences between Virgin Voyages and most other cruise lines is that Virgin does not do a traditional unlimited drink package. Instead, they use something called Bar Tab, which is basically prepaid money you can use specifically for drinks onboard!
Virgin Voyages RockStar vs. Mega RockStar
If you’ve sailed Virgin Voyages before, you already know I’m a fan. But if you really want to see me get excited, start talking to me about Mega RockStar. There’s sailing Virgin Voyages, and then there’s sailing Virgin Voyages as a RockStar. You get a bigger suite, extra access, priority perks, your own RockStar support, and a few little luxuries that make the entire voyage feel different. And then there’s Mega RockStar, which takes all of that and turns the dial WAY up.
Virgin Voyages Festival of the Senses: What’s Actually Worth Doing

A Virgin Voyages Dining Change Just Made a Big Onboard Frustration Disappear!!
I LOVE this update!! One of the questions we get all the time is... "What happens if there's a wait at the restaurants?" Well... Virgin just made that SO much easier!! They're rolling out a Virtual Dining Queue across the fleet, and I have a feeling this is going to become one of those features everyone ends up loving.

Listen, I know what you're thinking. Of course I'm going to tell you to use a travel agent. I own a travel agency. But honestly, if you're sailing Virgin Voyages, there are some very real reasons why working with a travel agent can make your experience better.

Virgin Packing Tips: 12 Things You Should Never Bring on a Virgin Voyages Cruise
If you're planning your first Virgin Voyages cruise, knowing what to pack is important. But knowing what not to pack can save you a lot of headaches once you arrive at the port. This topic actually came from a recent experience with an influencer I invited onboard. Travel Foodie Guide was sailing on his very first cruise and ended up getting called down to security after boarding. The funny part? He had no idea he brought something that wasn't allowed. That experience inspired this list of Virgin packing tips to help you avoid having your belongings confiscated before your vacation even begins.
