We chose this Virgin Voyages sailing because of the amazing ports. We ported in Saint Maarten, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts, and Martinique, with only one full day at sea. Virgin tends to get some of the longest times in port, and we took advantage of that by exploring all these beautiful islands have to offer.
The first cruise I had the pleasure of being on was the inaugural sailing of the Celebrity Xcel. This was only a 4-night preview sailing that ported one night in Cozumel and two full days at sea, but this ship is amazing!
If you love shorter wait times, top-tier attractions, and a more relaxed theme park experience, Disney After Hours is absolutely worth considering.
America is celebrating its 250th birthday in 2026, and this is your invitation to rediscover the history of our great country!
Lost your wallet in port? Missed the ship after a shore excursion? A passport makes it easier to work with local authorities, check into hotels, or arrange last-minute flights. Without it, you’ll be stuck navigating foreign bureaucracy with far fewer options — and a lot more headaches.
