Summary
We are a little nervous about this one… Today, we’re talking all about our upcoming couples cruise on Virgin Voyages. Sailing out of Miami, we are embarking on a 5-night Caribbean sailing with Virgin, an adult-only cruise line where you won’t find anyone under the age of 18. We are really excited about all of the food, which Virgin has come to be known for, and cautiously optimistic about some of the more….interesting entertainment offerings. Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | We are getting ready to embark for the first time ever on our couple's trip, and I am excited. |
| 0:05.5 | Hello and welcome to a ticket to the mouse. |
| 0:06.7 | Today is Sunday, January 4th. |
| 0:08.5 | You're listening to episode number 760, and this is our first Virgin Voyages cruise pre-trip report. Hey everybody, Dan and Leslie here. Thanks for joining us today. I am excited to talk about this one. This is, I feel a little out of my element, you know, because we've never- |
| 0:38.8 | I feel a lot out of my element. All right. I was, I was being, I was giving myself a little |
| 0:43.4 | kindness. I feel a lot out of my element. Um, just because we've never cruised Virgin before. So, and, |
| 0:49.6 | and I really haven't booked a ton of it for clients. And so it's just not something that I am overly familiar with. |
| 0:57.9 | And it makes me kind of uncomfortable. |
| 1:03.0 | Yeah, I'm very nervous to see what's going to happen. |
| 1:05.3 | But we're going with friends. |
| 1:06.5 | And so I'm excited at the same time. |
| 1:09.5 | And first, before we get into this, do we have any news or review? We're going to bypass news and reviews today. Yep, we're just going to talk to. Straight to the good stuff. Okay. So a couple of notes before we get in. It is actually Thursday, January 1st. So we're pre-recording this because as you're listening to this, we are on Virgin Voyages |
| 1:27.9 | right now. I think we mentioned it in a previous, no, we mentioned it on our YouTube video that's |
| 1:33.6 | going live today. The kids are actually staying here because if you don't know, Virgin Voyages is |
| 1:38.7 | adults only. So you have to be at least 18 years of age to be on the ship, to just step foot on |
| 1:43.7 | the ship. So we have not done Virgin Voyages in the past because we have a 14-year-old. So that makes it a little bit tough to do family vacations on an adult-only ship. So Aden is back from college, you know, over the holidays. And so he and Jennings are going to stay here together and get to experience just be in the house, taking care of the animals, and living on their own for a few days. |
| 2:02.8 | Before we get into all of the fun things that we are going to talk about, we have mentioned before on the podcast about the little bit of issue that we had whenever we booked it and the whole lock-it-in rate and the misunderstanding between what we thought |
| 2:20.2 | we were getting and what we actually got and all of that. And so we actually just did a YouTube |
| 2:24.3 | video about that that is coming out later today or earlier today. It's coming out today. |
| 2:30.4 | The same day as this podcast. So if you're interested in hearing more about that, |
| 2:33.9 | definitely go check that out. But this podcast, we are going to focus on all of the things we |
| 2:40.2 | are planning to do. Yeah, absolutely. So let's start with boarding day. Oh, one thing to note, |
