whether you want to party like a rock star or just be a rock star luxuriating and all the amazing
things that being a rock star on Virgin voyages comes with in this video I'm sharing with you all
the helpful things to know what are the perks that you get for being a rock star and more importantly
are they even worth it and a tour of the mega Rockstar Suite because don't we all want to
see what it's like but let's start with one of my favorite perks and it's the first perk that you'll
experience as a rock star and that's the ability to get on the ship early so you can board not only
through a separate entrance instead of having to be corraled with everybody and feeling like
you're at the airport without a lounge basically you will be herded onto the ship as a rock star
you go through a separate entrance with a really nice quiet seating spaces to hang out in and you
board through the ship in a more seamless fashion it's just a way better experience and you want to
know what else that gets you when you are first on board and I'm talking about boarding as early as 1
30 PM out of the Miami port it also means you are on that ship's Wi-Fi and that means you can start
booking Things Early things booked up really fast on Virgin voyages two perks that I think
everybody wants so is it worth it absolutely yes you will have a seamless easy experience starting
off your sailing with Virgin voyages who doesn't want something to be smooth sailing and if you're
new here yo I'm Christine Lozada with where in the world is CL and I make travel videos every week to
help you get up get out and go travel so if you like to travel consider subscribing this is one
of so many virgin Voyage videos so make sure you check out the description for a full blog post a
full playlist of a ton of videos and the ability to score Rockstar status at an insane discount
through my friends so make sure you check those out unless talk about oh no perk number three
this is a good one where are we right now we're on Richard's rooftop and there are three things
within Richard's rooftop that you are going to love oh actually four things the exclusivity
so only rock stars can access Richard's rooftop and it's huge it's a really big space and it's
like unnecessarily large in other words as a rock star here you'll feel like you have a ton of space
not only that you get access to day beds by the pool are hard to come by and getting your own
hot tub can also be difficult not impossible but on Richard's rooftop not only are there a million
day beds for you to luxuriate in but you can have your own hot tubs here which is really nice and
so you're not fighting the rest of the ship for this space the next thing about Richard's rooftop
is the daily sail away party and the sail away party is awesome whether you are like me you love
to drink champagne it is free Moet during this hour so you can drink as much champagne as your
heart desires but even if you are not a drinker you get the ability to socialize with the other
rock stars and it's just a nice thing to be able to meet other people who are there for social hour
and want to hang out so Richard's rooftop for the exclusivity for the sail away drinks for
the ability to meet other people for the hot tubs and for the day beds I would say is it worth it
yeah it's worth it number four is the access to the thermal Suite so as a regular Rockstar
you can have one three hour pass that you can reserve with the spa and you're like oh that's
the thermal Suite I mean yes they have your traditional you know steam room sauna those
are awesome but they also have just this beautiful space like the thermal Suite really is set up in
a very beautiful way and it's extremely relaxing to spend time here especially if you are insanely
hungover like I usually am on this ship and so not only do you have The Standard Spa stuff
but you also have a hot pool like hot pools and cold tubs you also have a mud room a Salt Room
the mud room's actually pretty cool you get these little cups of mud and then you go into
the mud room and you put the mud on and it's almost like a steam room inside of there you
might find some cold hoses that you can spray whoever you're with with but the whole thermal
Suite experience really is really nice and so I would say is it worth it if you are into the spa
experience it's a really beautiful quiet place even if you just come here to hang out in the
lounge area and read a book like it's pretty nice so I would say for me personally yes it's
worth it it depends on your style of travel if you like spas and quiet beautiful spaces
like that otherwise maybe not worth it for you but if you're a mega rock star you get as much
access to this area as you want which is pretty cool number five as if you need help help me if
you need help and you're not a rock star you need to go down to the fifth level to the general like
sailor Services area which is generally very busy they're all very helpful but it's generally very
busy when you are a rock star you get 24 7 access to Rockstar agents what that means is if you have
a question you need any kind of help they will help you even our friends who stayed at the mega
Rockstar Suite when it was their time to go do a couple's massage their agent came to the mega
Rockstar suite and escorted them out to the spa so that they didn't have to be like oh my gosh
where am I going you get 24 7 access to help so if you need help someone will help you is it worth it
um if you care about things like that like for me having the best Delta status as soon
as I call and I have an issue yo they pick up immediately that's really nice if you need help
and customer service some people are just like yo I'm this independent traveler if you're that
person you don't really need someone in general then no but it's always nice to know that if you
do need help someone is there immediately so is it worth it up to you depending on your style
of travel whether you want to be an independent traveler or you want a little bit of help number
six is having a better stateroom I'm going to say in full transparency the rooms on Virgin
voyages are super nice whether you're a rock star or you're just regularly staying on the ship but
I will share a very honest experience which was I had on one of my sailings non-rockstar status
a corner Ocean Terrace room a normal Terrace room but because it was in the corner it was abnormally
small when I walked in I was like where is the rest of my room and I had to go stand in Sailor
services with everybody else on the first day of the sailing and asked to be moved and they did
they moved me to a one in kind of like the middle of the ship it was perfectly fine it was like all
the other rooms I've stayed on on Virgin voyage's Scarlet lady but when you were a rock star you
have one of the 78 larger rock star Suites and if you're there are lots of different styles of them
I'm going to show you at the end of this video a tour of the mega Rockstar Suites but each of
the different rooms is available in 3D on the Virgin voyages website so a link to that is in
the description below is it worth it I mean who complains about having a larger nicer room right
if you're the type of traveler who's like nope I only go to my room to shower and sleep so it
doesn't matter to me what it's like then maybe it's not worth it for you oh I almost forgot
the most important part you're in Sweet Bar oh Booyah is it worth it yes if you like to drink
boom so if you are a rock star you will get an in-suite bar and we're not talking about like
the Eeny bitty little alcohol bottles we're talking about full-size alcohol bottles and
you and your Rockstar agent will help to curate what's on the bar if you're a mega rock star that
is a bottomless unlimited drinking experience is it worth it yes if you drink all right let's pull
it up and let's talk about that Mega Rockstar experience because it really is cool and one of
the things that I was confused by is like where are these rooms located and for the Mega Rockstar
Suites there's two of them and they are in the front of the ship so when you are a rock star
enjoying Richard's rooftop when you look down you are looking at the outdoor spaces of each
of the mega Rockstar Suites which are huge but when you walk into the Rockstar Mega Rockstar
Suite it's just a beautiful open sitting room with a really beautiful bar and now again that
bar is unlimited one of the things about the mega Rockstar experience is that it will just
feel like an all-inclusive vacation and so a lot of those things that you feel when you go to the
all-inclusive of resorts especially the nicer ones you will feel here but at Sea and so you
get a ton of space in the seating room and the design is just really really beautiful as we move
into the bedroom space it's just really pretty in there but what's unique about the bedroom area is
to be totally honest you have this beautiful marbled bathroom and you have a full tub that
you can soak in Unfortunately they were doing a little bit of Maintenance when I was touring this
room but you have a really beautiful bathroom with like a full closet and just a big space for the
bathroom and you can also see there's an area to go out to your outdoor area which we'll look at in
a second so on the other side of the main sitting area this is actually pretty cool there's guitars
that you can actually play and there's like an amp and all the things so that you can actually play
the instruments which I think is really unique and it's just a really beautiful sitting space that's
in here then you have the second door that's leading out to the outdoor area this outdoor area
is beautiful so in this outdoor space you have The Hammocks which are really nice and then you
have like a seating area but one of my favorite Parts is being able to go out on this little like
Lookout Point which is like at the front of the ship and you're just looking out at everything
and so this is is just a really cool space that you have private to you and I just think that's
really really cool so the outdoor space is fantastic there's another unique thing in the
outdoor space that I learned so you can see at the table there's actually stairs going up and there's
some plants on there right now but the whole thing about Richard Richard Branson is he liked to talk
to people and sometimes stand on top of the table which is why there's stairs going up but you have
an outdoor seating area you have an area to lie down on some sun beds you also have your own
private hot tub and with an outdoor shower so this whole Space is yours and again there's only two
Mega Rockstar Suites and so just on the other side of this is the other Mega Rockstar Suite taking
up the entire front area of the ship and then what you're looking at above is Richard's rooftop right
so that's why Richard's rooftop has that frosted glass in the very front area that's because it's
looking down at the mega Rockstar Suites as you come back in there's one other kind kind of fun
thing that I thought was deep which is you get all the different like consoles like um PlayStation
and and all the different gaming consoles so that's available to you also in addition to the
amps to be able to play the guitars um but if you like literally just want to like lounge and hang
out I mean look at this space you no longer feel like you're on a ship or in a stateroom right you
feel like you're in a nice luxurious hotel which is pretty cool so the mega Rockstar Suite really
is awesome but wait we gotta talk about and look at that bar so you have a record player
next to the bar and you have that full bar that is unlimited stocks right so they will keep stocking
it for you as much as you want with whatever you want and so that's one of the best perks as well
of being a mega rock star so from this tour you can see that only two people were staying in this
Mega Rockstar Suite which it's not really meant for like a party of 10 or something like that and
the other Mega Rockstar Suite there were more people staying in there than two but it's one
of those things where is it worth it for you yes if you want that extra space and you want to feel
like it's an all-inclusive trip for you but one of the things is I mean obviously by Sailing by time
of year Etc the prices change so get a no strings attached quote from my friend in the description
below because when I had him price me out for one of the sailings I was like whoa like that entire
week-long trip cost the same amount as a single night in Punta Mita at a luxurious experience
that was comparable it's not Apples to Apples you can't compare apples to Champagne I get it but I'm
just saying you can find more value for this type of a luxury experience on Virgin voyages than you
can in other experiences elsewhere you gotta do a threat for you okay let's do a quick recap of all
of that the perks that you get as a rock star in general those are the VIP entrance the Priority
Access to be able to book Things Early Richards rooftop the thermal Suite access you get that 24
7 ale me with a rockstar agent you get a better stateroom you've got to make the choice that's
right for you but the majority of these for me it makes it a luxurious experience that makes
me feel like I'm having a different experience than just the normal salines with Virgin voyages
just adds that added level and with being a rock star you get the black band instead of the normal
Red Band to indicate your Rockstar status you get treated any differently by the rest of the staff
to be honest no they treat everyone equally and awesomely the staff is so good please make sure
you bring extra gratuity to tip them that's just a suggestion I also have a full pack list video of
things I recommend you bring on this trip because my first sailing I forgot a lot of important
things like a red outfit that's embarrassing all right yo I'm Christine Lozada if you found some
