in this video what we loved what we hated what was a surprise would we do it again basically
all of the questions that all of our friends and family and you all have been asking me
now that i'm back from the virgin voyages scarlet lady coming up
but if you're new here yo i'm christine and this is where in the world of CL to make travel videos
every week till we get up get out and go travel so if you'd like to travel consider subscribing
this is one of many virgin voyages videos that i'm making so check the description
and today i'm being joined by dj louie g captain dj louie g also aka meat of ball
and meatball loves cruising you love cruising yeah i'm somebody who has grown up being forced
to cruise i did not like cruising until recently so it's a new thing for me
but let's start with your most favorite thing your most favorite thing on the ship
uh so many things i think i would have to focus in probably like the food the food was unbelievable
food was so good food was so good and we're gonna definitely dive into that one but i
would say for me it was the vibe a totally totally different vibe on that cruise versus
anywhere else and i think it's a combination of what happens when there are no kids on the boat
it creates a really fun adult atmosphere where everyone's just drinking and partying all the time
but i would say the other thing about the vibe would just be it is an elevated experience it
doesn't feel like you're on a cruise yeah yeah i would definitely agree with that like
the music was awesome i you know obviously they're talking to you like adults as well so like there's
a lot of sarcasm some profanity in there too so it definitely um it just made it wholly fun yeah
the type of humor is totally different when it's adults only but i would say one more favorite and
i know you would agree with this would be the fitness classes yeah because that's something
that's wildly different than any other cruise we've been on usually it's the uh let's gorge
ourselves at the buffet and gain a ton of weight but this one it was a really amazing actually it
wasn't a balance or was it i feel like we worked out way too much i worked out a lot i worked out
i worked out really hard uh it was a it was a lot of fun the classes were very different compared to
some of the other classes that you know you take but uh like you were saying you know you just
gorgeous up on a regular cruise ship and this it's like all right you know people are really working
out you know they're taking their fitness series i know i did a spin class early in the morning i
mean i did a lot of different classes by the way if you're getting some value out of this video
cheers that like button and check the description below because i don't want you to miss a thing and
comment below if you think you would consider this cruise and let's move on so we did a ton
of fitness classes make sure you check the video in the description below if you want to
learn more about that but there's with every good there's bad so tell me something that you hated
about the cruise the only thing i would probably add on to it is maybe a drink package so this way
you know you kind of set it forget it you're not worrying about prices or drinks or anything like
that and if you want to try different things you know you're like you know that's how i really fell
in love with johnny walker black because i tried it actually on a cruise ship you know so i think
uh drink package is the way to go yeah but this is also coming from the guy who drinks all lots on
cruises like an impressive amount make sure you watch that video of how much of this man drink
link in the description below from a royal caribbean cruise i would say for me there's
actually nothing i didn't like it was such an elevated and different experience than any other
cruise i've been on i never felt like i was on a cruise except except when i noticed the ceilings
were low and that's about it biggest surprise what was the biggest surprise for you on the cruise i
think the biggest surprise for me uh was the room the room was almost like uh reminded me a little
bit of the wind because the wind you're able to actually like control the room with the ipad and
it was the same thing with the virgin voyages you're actually able to control your climate the
uh the curtains and everything and and what was really cool is like they had different mood
lighting so like you know they had one setting that was if you're in the mood you can just hit
that button and then it changes the lighting to like this purple sexy and like made it like
we never changed it out of that mood no because the lighting was really good for everything so and
then if you want to do like a meditation style like they had different settings for that so
it was really cool um you know the whole aspect of the room and what i also liked was how they
gave you still water and sparkling water like that was really awesome because that was so cute don't
do that so yeah our last cruise in the bahamas on bahamas paradise cruise line was i was stressing
about how much water to buy because and collecting as much water bottles as possible every time we
were out because it wasn't easy to get get a hold of water i would say my biggest surprise was the
food in other words i knew it was going to be good but when virgin voyages had their pr stint where
they parked their boat in new york city and just had new yorkers come on board to eat i was like
what new yorker is going to want to go on a cruise to eat but now i totally get it because their food
really is an elevated experience with michelin star chefs famous sommeliers amazing mixologists
and the food experience really is nothing that's cruise-like and is significantly better than
any specialty restaurant i've had on any other cruise including royal celebrity anywhere else
all right let's talk about the party experience because we we didn't party at all on the cruise
and since you're a dj i'm curious dj meatball how would you talk about the party experience on the
cruise our party experience was really awesome like music was really good i think um all the
spaces where they threw parties like the lighting and uh you know the effects and even from like
some of the dancers and things like that that they had out there it was just a complete unbelievable
like you know like you're going to like big time clubs and like 11 and things like that
like it was just there were so many things going on and they brought a different style atmosphere
actually the different venues and locations is a really good point because there are so many times
like usually on cruises all the parties happen in one place like there's just one venue for that
but here they would change the spaces in a lot of the places to turn them into a party
or they would turn the actual entertainment shows into party-like experiences there are
so many times that they just would create a party but the atmosphere that they created around these
parties so a lot of times like especially when we were in the manor i felt like i was in a nightclub
in vegas just a smaller version of it but without the pretentiousness which is phenomenal because
the type of people that are attracted to this cruise and the type of environment they create is
really welcoming for everybody which is different than the you know like oh vip section and oh like
you are not you know like dressed correctly so you have to hang out in this part of the club it
wasn't like that at all super welcoming which let's talk a little bit more about the people
so i thought it was interesting the type of people that were on the cruise make sure you watch that
video if you want to learn more about that but what would you say about who this cruise is for
versus not for um i think this cruise is for people who really want to have a good time um
i think you know all the people that we met were just really cool down to earth just a lot of fun
and you know they love music they like fitness so so many of our friends and family have have asked
us about it would you recommend it to them oh yeah i've been recommending it to even like clients
of my own business uh you know they were asking me like oh where you been because i couldn't
read you know pick up the phone while i was out and stuff but i've been recommending it to all my
friends and family because it's a really awesome experience and like i said the food was phenomenal
and everything was just really a great time and you guys know i definitely recommend it
make sure you watch all the videos below and check the description because there
might be an opportunity to cruise together so we will see you in the next video ciao
