Frequently Asked Questions

What is needed to reserve a stateroom?

All that is asked is to fill out the interest form with your info, and your partner in crime! Please know a 20% deposit is needed to reserve your stateroom.


When does the cruise have to be paid in full? 

120 days prior to sailing.


Is it really adults-only?

Yes! Virgin Voyages is strictly 18+. This creates a sophisticated, elevated atmosphere where the pools are for relaxing, the restaurants feel like high-end boutiques, and the entertainment is designed specifically for an adult audience.


I’ve never cruised before—will I get seasick?

The Brilliant Lady is a state-of-the-art vessel equipped with advanced stabilizers that significantly minimize the feeling of movement. Because our route stays in the relatively calm waters of the Caribbean and Bahamas, most travelers find the experience incredibly smooth. If you are extra sensitive, I can recommend the best "mid-ship" cabin locations for maximum stability!


What is the "Bar Tab" and how does it work?

Since alcohol isn't included in the base fare, Virgin uses a "Bar Tab" system. You can pre-pay for a credit to use on premium cocktails, wine, and spirits. The best part? If you pre-purchase a Bar Tab through me, Virgin often throws in a bonus credit (e.g., pay $300, get an extra $50). Plus, you can use your Bar Tab to buy drinks for friends—it's very social!


What should I pack? Is there a "Formal Night"?

Leave the tuxedos and ballgowns at home! Virgin has done away with stuffy formal nights. The vibe is "Ship Show To Shore"—think "Resort Chic."

  • The one exception: Scarlet Night. You’ll definitely want to pack something fabulous and red for our signature ship-wide party.


Can I travel solo but still join the group?

Absolutely! Virgin Voyages is one of the most solo-friendly lines at sea. The only caveat is that the group fare locks in that two people will be sailing in each cabin, which is the recommended amount based on the room setup.

If you want a single occupancy fare, please reach out! 


What if I need to cancel or change my plans?

By booking the Essential Fare through our group, you have significantly more flexibility than the budget "Base" fares. You can change your sailor names up to 48 hours before we sail, and if life happens, I will work with you to navigate Virgin’s flexible "Future Voyage Credit" policies.
