My husband and I just wrapped up our third Virgin Voyages cruise last week, this time aboard Brilliant Lady in Alaska, and apparently we’re officially those people now. 😂🚢
First things first… “Take a break from other people’s kids” might be one of the greatest marketing slogans ever written.
Because YES. We did. And YES. It was glorious. 😂
Just adults being adults… some more successfully than others. 🍸😂
But seriously, one of the BEST parts of this cruise was the people. We met so many interesting, funny and genuinely nice people. We had great conversations, learned a lot, laughed a lot and probably overshared with complete strangers at least once or twice. You know… vacation friendships. 😂
The entire vibe just felt different — relaxed, welcoming, fun and refreshingly un-cruise-like.
Our final Alaska report:
🏔️ Alaska — LOVED IT
🚢 Brilliant Lady — LOVED HER
🍴 Food — LOVED IT
🍸 Drinks — Perhaps loved them too much
😂 Vibe — LOVED IT
❤️ People — LOVED YOU
⭐ Service — AMAZING
👶 Number of other people’s kids — ZERO. 10/10. No notes.
Virgin Voyages + Alaska = one hell of a combination.
Thanks for an absolutely fantastic week!
Now excuse us while we go through cruise withdrawal and start looking at where Virgin can take us next. 😂🚢
