I’ve been Razzle Dazzled!💥

Virgin Voyages has stepped away from the norm of cruise lines with no main dining room and instead offers small restaurants that you can choose from and dine in each day. The food is elevated and delicious and best of all…included in your fare. We enjoyed all of our meals on the Scarlet Lady but the vegetarian leaning Razzle Dazzle was our surprise favorite and we visited several times. So yummy!😋

What a fabulous day in Bimini! The Beach Club is included in your Virgin Voyages Caribbean itinerary and it has two pools, beachfront access with chairs and umbrellas, a float party with DJ, sand sports, group competition activities, delicious food and drinks, and quiet spots throughout to relax. This isn’t your average Caribbean beach club…it feels like a luxurious resort with plenty of loungers, nice towels, bars throughout, cold water stations, and wooden walkways so you don’t have to trek through the sand. We enjoyed our time at the Beach Club so much that we were one of the last to head back to the ship.

(Tip if you like quiet - it becomes much less crowded after the float party ends at 3pm and trams were headed back to the ship until 6 pm)

I had no idea how comfortable the Virgin Voyages red hammock would be. It was windy and a little chilly this afternoon so I went out on the balcony, wrapped up in a blanket, climbed in and oh my goodness I could have stayed there for hours!

You need to relax in one of these hammocks too - msg me to reserve your Sea Terrace and take advantage of $300 off your voyage and $600 in on board credit before Wednesday.

Grand Turk was beautiful! Our snorkeling boat excursion was canceled this morning and my client (aka husband) was pretty bummed. But lucky him…his travel advisor had researched alternatives and knew we could find a beach to snorkel from. We had a nice walk along the water and found what felt like our private little island to explore. Then, walked back to a great spot on the beach near the ship to relax and take in the view!

10/15/2023

Dance parties and spa treatments
Elevated dining and convenient grab and go
Fitness classes and foosball
Fancy dresses and t-shirts
Dodgeball and board games
Karaoke and live smooth jazz

There’s something for everyone…young adults, older adults and in between.

The thing that has stood out to us most though is that EVERYONE on board (crew included) is friendly and kind and wanting to get to know one another. What a beautiful thing!

If you’d like to sail the Virgin way, message me! When you reserve a spot with me while I’m on board, you can receive $300 off your sailing plus $600 on board credit. I only have 10 spots and you don’t have to choose the specific sailing right away.

This introverted, older, t-shirt and jeans wearing gal was a little apprehensive boarding a ship that’s often described as edgy, hip, young, a party, and trendy. But Virgin Voyages has already proven me wrong! Follow along here and on IG to see why this ship is for everyone (except kids🙂)!

And stay tuned because I’m going to have a special offer for you if you reserve a sailing while I’m on board!
