  • Virgin Voyages Review: Why This Adults-Only Cruise Changed Everything (Plus Our Alaska Plans!)
    Oct 31 2025
    Rob was skeptical about cruising. After just five days on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady, he was already booking the next trip.In this episode, Meg and Rob break down their December 2023 Virgin Voyages experience sailing to the Dominican Republic and Bahamas. They talk about what makes Virgin different—no kids, no main dining hall, no nickel-and-diming. Just incredible food, killer entertainment, and staff who actually remember your name (and your pepper allergy).They cover the good stuff: the personalized service powered by RFID bracelets, five diverse restaurants you can hit whenever you want, Broadway-quality shows with moving panels and acrobats, and why Rob spent 90 minutes at a scotch tasting he almost skipped.They also share the practical stuff: why their aft balcony cabin worked great despite seasickness concerns, how the "galley" food hall rotates throughout the day, and why the pizza place was packed every single night.Meg and Rob are so sold on Virgin that they're taking the whole family to Alaska in July 2025 on the Brilliant Lady. They talk about the itinerary, the group rate Meg secured (70% off the second person!), and why they're cautiously optimistic about finally seeing whales.Whether you're curious about adults-only cruising, looking for an honest Virgin Voyages review, or wondering if cruise ships have changed since your last trip—this episode's for you.Thank you for listening!
