April is here already! See you on the dance floor! #linedance #dance #country #bar #lessons

Rolled out of bed, opened the balcony, and boom, Charleston, South Carolina. This is why I love cruising, you go to sleep in one place and wake up somewhere new. 🚢✨
Would you explore right away or soak in the view first? #travel #cruise #foodie #vacations #charleston @virginvoyages

Rolling up to the RockStar luggage drop and check in like I did not just walk out of the airport 30 minutes ago. 😂🚢
Smooth drop off, quick check in, and now I’m officially in vacation mode. Would you upgrade for the easier embarkation?
#travel #cruise #foodie #vacations #yummy @virginvoyages

Every rule says do not decorate your cruise door… meanwhile Virgin Voyages sells official ‘stateroom door magnets.’ 😂
I’m bringing these for my sailing this weekend. Would you put them up or keep the door plain. Comment your vote. #travel #cruise #foodie #vacations #decor @virginvoyages

Packing for Virgin Voyages in 2 days and this is my little pre cruise lineup. Passport cover, reusable water cup, phone holder, and a few small gifts for the Happenings Cast because they deserve the love. 🚢✨

What is one thing you never cruise without? #travel #cruise #foodie #vacations #yummy @virginvoyages

I’m a travel advisor + Virgin Voyages First Mate… and I’ll be sailing 5 times over the next few months 🚢

If you’ve been thinking about trying Virgin Voyages, this is your sign.

✔ Or just let me book your own trip and meet up onboard

No pressure, no forced schedules — just a better way to cruise.

I’ve been to 70 countries… and somehow never made it here.

The Grand Canyon.
In my own state.

It’s wild how we’ll travel across the world, but put off the places closest to us.

The train ride, the views, finally seeing it in person — worth every second.

Consider this your reminder:
Don’t wait on the places that have been right in front of you.

I’m a travel advisor… and I’m not here to pretend Virgin Voyages is perfect.

It’s not.

No cruise line is.

But that’s not the point.

If you’re looking for:
✔ Incredible food
✔ Adults-only vibe
✔ A more modern cruise experience

Virgin does a lot really well.

It’s about finding the right fit, not the “perfect” cruise.

That’s exactly why I created a “Find Your Perfect Cruise Line” quiz — so you’re not just guessing.

👇 Take the quiz + follow for honest cruise advice (not hype) #cruise #travel #foodie #adultmoney #vacations

Thinking about Alaska in 2026? Don’t book anything yet.

Right now I can offer:
✨ 10% off Sea Terrace cabins
✨ $200 onboard credit

⚠️ Only a few cabins left

If Alaska has been on your list, this is your window.

Okay, controversial cruise take. Virgin’s main pool is small, like someone told them ‘size doesn’t matter’ and they said ‘bet.’ 😂
But hear me out, there are no kids, there’s tons of lounging space, and there’s a second social pool where you can sit, chat, and cool off without the waterpark energy.
Are you team ‘bigger pool’ or team ‘better vibe’? #travel #cruise #foodie #adultmoney #nokids @virginvoyages

Made a custom mocktail onboard Virgin Voyages, blueberry soda + edible ‘paint’ brushed inside the glass for that wow moment. It tastes good and looks like art. 💜🥤🚢
Would you sip this or just take photos first? #travel #cruise #foodie #mocktails #vacations @virginvoyages

Spicy tuna roll from Bento Box in The Galley on Virgin Voyages. These rolls are made fresh onboard every morning, and you can taste it. Spicy, fresh, and dangerously easy to inhale. 10/10 from me. 🌶️🍣🚢
Are you team spicy tuna or team salmon? #travel #cruise #foodie #sushi #bento @virginvoyages

First night PJ party on Virgin Voyages. And it is not just the party, there are pajama themed moments happening around the ship all night. I went full commitment with a Buc-ee’s onesie because comfort is the dress code. 😴🚢
Are you team cute pajamas or team ridiculous onesie? #travel #cruise #foodie #pajamas #pajamaparty @virginvoyages

Quick Training Camp walkthrough. It is a small, easy to miss spot on Deck 16 with space for HIIT classes and foam rolling. Save this for your next sailing. 🚢 #travel #foodie #cruise #gym #hiit

Tour of Burn and Bike in the B Complex on Virgin Voyages. Spin studio energy on a cruise ship, because apparently we are still pretending to be responsible adults on vacation. 🚴‍♂️🔥🚢
Would you take a class or just cheer from the snack line? #cruise #travel #foodie #gym #spin @virginvoyages

Quick tour of the B-Complex, Build + Balance on Virgin Voyages. This is the strength and mobility zone, perfect if you want to lift a little and move a little between all the food and fun. 💪🚢
Bike + Burn and Training Camp tours are coming next, follow so you do not miss them. #travel #foodie #cruise #gym #workout

Walkthrough of Pink Agave on Virgin Voyages. Moody lighting, bold Mexican flavors, and a menu that feels elevated, not taco night. Plus, the tequila and mezcal list will absolutely test your self control. 🌵🍽️🚢
Would you come here for the margaritas or the mezcal? #cruise #travel #foodie #mexicanfood #datenight @virginvoyages

Deck 16 aft on Virgin Voyages is basically the adult playground. Pool vibes, Athletic Club energy, and a whole lot of ‘I’m just walking to earn my next bite.’ 😂🚢
Are you playing on the pool side, the gym side, or both? #travel #foodie #cruise #traveladvisor #solotravel

Sip Lounge on Virgin Voyages, the champagne bar that also serves afternoon tea. It is such a calm, classy break from the pool deck energy. 🥂🫖
Follow me, I’m filming a can’t miss Sip experience on my next sailing. #cruise #travel #foodie #champagne #afternoontea @virginvoyages

Quick stop at Sun Club Café on Virgin Voyages, it is only open in the afternoon and it is a sleeper hit. Fun little menu with things like poke bowls and bao, perfect when you want something different than the usual stops. 🌞🥟🐟
Would you grab poke or bao first? #travel #foodie #cruise #bao #poke

Quick look at Richard’s Rooftop, the RockStar only deck on Virgin Voyages. Chill rooftop energy, ocean views for days, and the kind of spot that makes you forget the rest of the ship exists. 🚢✨
Would you upgrade just for rooftop access? #travel #cruise #foodie #private #upgrade @virginvoyages

Walkthrough of Gunbae on Virgin Voyages. It is Korean BBQ with a built in social table, you sit with other sailors, your server cooks right at the table, and it turns into a whole experience, games, laughs, and serious sizzling. 🔥🚢
Would you love the social table vibe or would you need a minute to warm up? #travel #cruise #foodie #koreanbbq #friends @virginvoyages

I’ll be back on Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady on March 28. What do you want me to explore while I’m onboard, food, cabins, bars, shows, the app, tips for first timers? Comment your questions and I’ll film the answers on the ship. 🚢

Cruise curious but overwhelmed by all the options? I made a quick quiz that matches you with a cruise line based on your vibe, budget, and what you actually want from a trip. 🚢✨
Take the quiz in my link, then tell me your result. #travel #foodie #cruise #traveladvisor #quiz

Quick walkthrough of The Perch and the outdoor walking track on Virgin Voyages. Best spot for fresh air, ocean views, and a little movement between meals and shows. 🚶‍♂️🌊
Are you team morning laps or sunset stroll? #travel #foodie #cruise #walking #relax

Replying to @wrolicious Replying to your question about getting into The Wake without a reservation. These are my go to tips to snag a table, even if it looks fully booked. 🥩🚢
#travel #cruise #foodie #yummy #steak

Parker House rolls at The Wake on Virgin Voyages. Warm, buttery, and the kind of bread that makes you forget you ordered an entree. Easy 10/10. 🥖🚢
Are you a ‘one roll’ person or do you lose count too? #travel #cruise #foodie #yummy #carbs @virginvoyages

Baked Alaska at The Wake on Virgin Voyages is a dessert moment. Cold and creamy inside, toasted outside, and exactly the kind of sweet finale I want after a steakhouse dinner. Easy 9/10 for me.
Would you order this? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Quick walk around The Pizza Place on Virgin Voyages. It is the easiest late night stop on the ship, grab a slice, people watch, and keep the night going. 🍕🚢
What is your go to pizza topping at sea? #travel #cruise #foodie #latenight #pizza @virginvoyages

Shrimp & Grits at The Wake steakhouse on Virgin Voyages, with smoked hams, crispy tasso, and an ají amarillo pepper kick. I’ll give it credit, the flavors sound amazing and it has a lot going for it, but based on a previous time I had it, it just did not land for me overall, so I rate it a 4/10.
Have you tried it. Did you love it or pass? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Hamachi Crudo at The Wake steakhouse on Virgin Voyages, topped with pickled rhubarb, hibiscus, and basil. Bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Easy 10/10 for me. 🚢
Would you start with this or splurge on the raw bar? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Did a yoga class on The Perch at the top of the ship, nothing but ocean in every direction. Equal parts peaceful and humbling when the wind reminds you who is in charge. 🚢✨
Would you try sunrise or sunset yoga at sea? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #yoga #relax @virginvoyages

Check out the things to do at Cozumel port. There are countless more than I mentioned so be sure to explore them all and find what you enjoy!#foodie #travel #cruise #solotravel #méxico

Gunbae on Virgin Voyages is Korean BBQ where your server cooks everything right at the table. Sizzling meat, big flavors, and the most fun dinner vibe on the ship. 🚢🔥
Would you do Korean BBQ at sea? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #koreanbbq @virginvoyages

Huge update to Virgin Voyages dress code policy… 👀

I started filming this thinking we were about to enter the “suit jacket required” era, but then Virgin basically said: hoodies, hats, and open toes can stay. Relaxed luxury means you can actually be you.

Would you rather dress up every night or keep it comfortable?

Answering the question I keep getting about Pops and Bubs hours. Nothing beats a popsicle and a glass of champagne together, it is the most fun little combo onboard. 🍾🍦
Got another ship question? Comment it and I’ll reply with a video. #travel #cruise #foodie #yummy #champagne

Quick tour of The Galley on Virgin Voyages, all the stations, all the options, and the kinds of food you can grab depending on your mood. It is basically a food hall at sea, not a typical buffet.
What station would you hit first? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Virgin Voyages has an onboard ice cream spot called Lick Me Till… Ice Cream. Yes, that is the name. Yes, I giggled. And yes, I still ordered.
What flavor are you grabbing first? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #icecream @virginvoyages

Braised pork cheek at Extra Virgin on Virgin Voyages with chanterelle mushrooms, arrowleaf spinach, and crispy pork. Tender, rich, and honestly flawless. Easy 10/10 for me.
Would you try this or stick with pasta? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Spaghetti alle vongole at Extra Virgin on Virgin Voyages, with little neck clams, white wine, and crushed red pepper. I usually do not go for seafood pasta, but this one surprised me. Bright, briny, and the kind of dish you keep thinking about after. Easy 9/10.
Are you team seafood pasta or do you usually skip it like me? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Semolina fried calamari at Extra Virgin on Virgin Voyages, served with lemon and chili dip. Crispy, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep snacking on. Solid 9/10 for me.
Would you share this or guard the plate? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #yummy @virginvoyages

Quick walkthrough on the Virgin Voyages app showing how to add the people you are traveling with, so you can make dining and entertainment reservations together. Once you link your sailors, booking tables and showtimes gets way easier. 🚢📱

This is our Scarlet Night. A little music, a little mayhem, and a whole lot of fun in red. The best part is you can be front and center or just soak it in from the sidelines. 🔴🚢✨
Which part is your favorite, the outfits, the pop ups, or the dance breaks? #travel #cruise #foodie #adultsonly #talent @virginvoyages @sophycastro @anastasiakrystals @kasandra648 @dancetojazz @its_mylaife @andrei.the.hype

Two Bimini Beach Club hits. Crispy cassava with spicy mango mustard gets an 8/10, super snackable with a little sweet heat. And the rum cake with guava sauce is a 9/10, soft, sweet, and exactly what dessert at the beach should be. 🍰✨
Which are you grabbing first? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #bahamas @virginvoyages

Sometimes the best beach food is the simplest. Fresh tropical fruit at the Bimini Beach Club, cold, sweet, and exactly what you want between the sun and the saltwater.
Are you team fruit and hydrate or team rum cake? #travel #cruise #adultsonly #foodie #bahamas @virginvoyages
