It has been an incredible journey, but our trip is coming to a close. Today is disembarkation day and we have until 10:30am before we are required to leave the ship. The morning started as most mornings start on this trip…with a workout. Brian headed to the top deck for his morning run while IContinue reading “Disembarkation Day {Day 8}”

Bimini, Bahamas {Day 7}
The morning began at The Perch for guided meditation. I practice yoga frequently, but a class 100% focused on meditation was new to me. The sun was rising as the class began and we were first instructed to find a comfortable position on our yoga mat. I opted for laying on my back. Then, theContinue reading “Bimini, Bahamas {Day 7}”
Wellness Day at Sea {Day 6}
One of the aspects I love about Virgin Voyages is their balance of wellness into the cruise. There are several workouts throughout the day and also plenty of healthy options for food and drinks. The day began with wellness in mind. I headed up to the perch which is on Deck 17 at the backContinue reading “Wellness Day at Sea {Day 6}”
Cozumel and Playa del Carmen, Mexico {Day 5}
Since I went to bed so early, I was early to rise. I am not a morning person, but it was 6am and I was up. I take a look at “The Lineup” which is what Virgin Voyages calls their schedule of activities. To my surprise, there was an opening for “Sun Worshippers” which isContinue reading “Cozumel and Playa del Carmen, Mexico {Day 5}”
Don’t Rock the Boat {Day 4}
Last night was our first night sleeping in the cabin. I can’t think of a bed that was more comfortable than this one. I also like how the room greets you when you open the door. Some lighting automatically comes on and the curtains open. It’s a nice touch. We started our morning at TheContinue reading “Don’t Rock the Boat {Day 4}”
Scarlet Lady {Day 3}
Our time in Miami has come to an end as we approach the real reason we were in Miami…to set sail on Scarlet Lady. Scarlet Lady is Virgin Voyage’s first cruise ship that made its Mermaiden Voyage in 2021. It’s an adult-only cruise line that does things differently. Essentially a cruise for virgin cruisers withContinue reading “Scarlet Lady {Day 3}”
South Beach, Florida {Day 2}
It was another day of sunshine and blue skies. We started our day at the pool. Upon entry to the pool there is a pool attendant that checks you in and gets you setup with loungers and an umbrella. When the chairs run out, she keeps a waiting list so the pool never gets crowded.Continue reading “South Beach, Florida {Day 2}”
South Beach, Florida {Day 1}
Many of my trips are spur of the moment trips that seem to fall into place at the last minute. This is not one of those trips. We booked this trip March of 2021 thinking the pandemic would ease by now. That prediction was wrong as Omricon ravages the nation. Ultimately we made the decisionContinue reading “South Beach, Florida {Day 1}”
Perfect Day at CocoCay
I started off the morning with a yoga class in the Vitality Fitness Center. The fitness center on this ship was setup very different from the last ship I was on. The entrance is somewhat discreet, but it’s that discreetness that also makes it feel welcoming. There wasn’t anyone guarding the door ready to sellContinue reading “Perfect Day at CocoCay”
Inaugural Cruise of Odyssey of the Seas
A couple weeks ago I was very fortunate to be invited on the inaugural cruise for this Quantum Class ship. The start of the journey was on Tuesday for my COVID test. I had mine done at CVS and it was very easy. I pulled into a designated parking spot and the nurse handed meContinue reading “Inaugural Cruise of Odyssey of the Seas”
