Must-Do Experiences on Virgin Voyages

☐ Hang out with the Happenings Cast – These fun crew members pop up all over the ship with surprises and games! Be sure to interact with the crew from the very beginning of your cruise, don't be shy! They love getting to know the sailors!

☐ Go to a tasting event – Virgin Voyages offers so many tasting experiences: everything from coffee and tea to whiskey and wine! I loved the tequila/mezcal tasting, they discussed the history and offered top-notch samples. These experiences are a great way to try new flavors and learn something cool.

☐ Dinner at Gunbae – Meet new friends! – This lively Korean BBQ spot is perfect for socializing and having a blast. This is a great restaurant for your first night onboard. Because of the fun and interactive nature, you will end up with new friends by the end of dinner!

☐ PJ Party – Put on your pajamas and dance the night away at this epic onboard slumber party! This onboard party is typically the first night of your cruise. Pack your favorite pajamas and head up to the Athletic Club on deck 16 for fun under the stars!

☐ Lotería Gigante – Think bingo, but bigger, crazier, and way more fun! This is so much fun, no big winnings like regular bingo (you win cruise merch) but it packs a punch with unlimited margaritas and palomas!

☐ Scarlet Night Pool Party – The whole ship turns red for Virgin Voyages' wild deck party under the stars. Scarlet Night is “THE” feature event onboard every Virgin Voyages cruise. There are several shows and the entire ship transforms. The grand finale is the pool party. If you do not want to be poolside, there's plenty of room on the upper deck so you can still enjoy the show.(Want to know why this event is a must?

☐ Take a class at the gym (like VHS Workout!) – Be sure to sign up ASAP because these fun workouts sell out fast! Although I do not work out while I am on vacation, lots of others do, and they say that these workouts are super-fun and you can dress up in your finest 80's and 90's gear!

☐ Shot for Shot – Learn to take great pics while making great drinks – This onboard experience is half cocktail making class and half photography class, I learned some cool features that I didn't know my phone had, now I use them all the time!

☐ Dance the night away in The Manor – Virgin’s ultra-chic nightclub is the perfect place to let loose. Sometimes, you just gotta dance, and the Manor is a great place to do it. Be sure to be ready to take some great pictures in the hallway to the Manor. It's one of the most photogenic place on the ship!

☐ Find a nice spot to enjoy a great sunset – Whether it’s your balcony, The Dock, or the top deck, take a moment to soak it in, this can be your finest of the Virgin Voyages' experiences. This is the vacation that you have dreamed of, allow yourself to relax and enjoy it!
