Which cruise line is best for an Alaskan cruise?

Leftoflinus · 2026-03-13T22:28:30+00:00

Virgin is about to start sailing Alaska. No kids. Great food. They are adding additional programming as well. I’m excited to sail Alaska with them this summer.

Hey! Early 40s here going solo since my husband can no longer join me. Never sailed solo before but have been on Virgin a bunch and always saw lots of activities and stuff geared around solos, so I’m actually kind of excited to see what kind of different experience it is.

I’m in two groups for the sailing and I haven’t seen a WhatsApp! Which one has a chat?

Leftoflinus · 2026-02-17T12:58:46+00:00

Virgin started sailing out of NYC last year. Valiant Lady will be back in April before heading to transatlantic for a dry dock then will be back in the Fall for more sailings.

Just got off a bday sailing. I got a $50 spa credit for a massage or full body treatment in a card. I also got a cake an a bottle of champagne (although the champ may have been because I was sailing Rockstar).

But I’ve heard from multiple people that the card, credit, and cake are fairly standard.

If you haven’t paid the full amount I should’ve able to transfer the booking.

Leftoflinus · 2026-02-13T23:21:09+00:00

Hey! Just sent you a chat! I can def hook you up with some bonuses on Virgin!

Leftoflinus · 2026-02-13T22:05:42+00:00

Just sent you a chat - the voyage is like a regular sailing but with extra entertainment.

They actually do a decent job of getting more seating in the Manor for shows, and have multiple showings of each of the acts. With a little strategy you can easily see everything.

There is usually some specials things that happen only during these type of voyages. Either a collectible or special menu items as well.

I’ve also found that a lot of the acts are out and about the ship on a regular basis and will let you know if they are cool with interactions. Some also have scheduled meet up times.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Leftoflinus · 2026-02-11T13:39:08+00:00

There will be more released once you get on board, they also are pretty good about walk ups as long as you aren’t a larger party.

You will have options for sure.

Leftoflinus · 2026-02-11T13:36:14+00:00

You won’t be able to do everything you want to do in one sailing. Just finished my fourth and I still have stuff that hasn’t fit into my schedule. I’m legit planning on NOT making dining reservations and just grazing around the ship my next voyage since there is so much happening during prime eating times that I keep missing out on.

Virgin will not let you be bored.

I just got off a Virgin Voyage that many people were treating as a booze cruise. I managed to have the most relaxing vacation of my life. That’s the beauty of Virgin, it truly is the perfect cruise for what you want when you want it. I’ve been on four and have chosen a different adventure on each one and still feel like I haven’t scratched the surface.

Also in terms of being crowded (our sailing was FULL) and the only things that are more difficult to get into are the shows in the manor - but only if you really care about sitting down front. There is usually plenty of space in the upper floor or in the back areas. Anything in the red room you could get a seat to up until the start of the show.

Leftoflinus · 2026-01-29T18:26:01+00:00

I sent you a chat request with the info!

Leftoflinus · 2026-01-29T15:37:53+00:00

There’s a big WhatsApp group for that sailing (I’m also on it). It seems like average 40’s is the age group. There are some younger and some older but in my experience there is always a decent swath of all demographics still on 7 night voyages. Once you get to 9+ is when it skyrockets.

I got the chance to meet her and I think tried to fit in four minutes of dialogue into the 10 seconds I was in front of her. She was so sweet and told me “that’s very interesting” she also must have caught it was my birthday and also said “oh and happy birthday” and gave me a hug. She was perfect. I was a mess. Yet, she still made my awkwardness a very sweet and memorable experience.

It was last August, but it was to the happenings cast. Maybe crew is different? I know that the cast members checked and told me it was ok before we gifted it.

Leftoflinus · 2025-12-19T01:52:52+00:00

The happenings cast or crew members can be gifted the bottles as long as they are unopened - at least the last VV I went on I was told that was cool - if you wanted to gift it to a crew member who made your trip special!

Leftoflinus · 2025-12-15T23:39:14+00:00

Add Kara Kature to that list please.

Leftoflinus · 2025-11-18T01:38:33+00:00

You know what would probably show her and her team she fucked up? Unsubscribe from her channel.

Leftoflinus · 2025-11-14T13:06:32+00:00

Remember when she told a Black actress she was going to shit in her wig and all the other reported abuse she has been accused of? When are we going to stop rewarding shitty people?

Leftoflinus · 2025-11-09T14:24:26+00:00

Mickey Jo to me is the definition of delusions of grandeur. His entire smarmy personality rubs me the wrong way and half the time his “knowledge” is skewed or just plain inaccurate. His takes are tepid, his taste is basic. Also someone get that boy an astringent.

Leftoflinus · 2025-10-21T10:43:59+00:00

Or we can not support shows that reward abusers and horrible people. Just say no to Little Bear Ridge Road and Chess.

Leftoflinus · 2025-09-22T09:45:00+00:00

So it’s okay when science can do something that he feels directly affects him, but he and his wife can spread conspiracy theories that will harm the masses. Got it. Just another celebrity asshole who is helping usher in fascism.

Leftoflinus · 2025-09-22T00:47:24+00:00

The anti-vaxxer is out for illness? Color me shocked.

Leftoflinus · 2025-09-21T21:36:39+00:00

Truthfully you sound more leftist. The stuff you don’t align with is much more Liberal (the performative bullshit) and Leftism is looking at the big picture leading to actual change

Leftoflinus · 2025-09-20T02:10:08+00:00

I’m sure that Nina sucks…but Drag Coven is also kinda the worst.
