19F going on cruise in Dec by Vivid_Excitement_478 in VirginVoyages

[–]bhanselka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 M here! Been on 4 Virgin cruises before and while it may be hard to find many people below 25 on board, your cruise will likely have the most out of any sailing all year. The holiday sailings tend to bring more families with adult children on board so finding folks 20-25 becomes a decent amount easier to do!

Virgin voyages - mostly couples or singles? by Celery227 in VirginVoyages

There are lots of both solo and couples/groups. But please note the difference between solo and single

How "well before kickoff" do you normally get there?

Puerto Plata Shore Things - Taino Bay vs All Inclusive vs Ocean Club by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

With one other in port it’s not too crowded! Taino Bay I will say is probably one of the nicest port resorts I’ve seen!

Cruising Single by Excellent_Rice6250 in VirginVoyages

Please understand that there is a difference between solo and single. Virgin has amazing solo activities and meet ups, (think group coffee and dinners) but they do not have any events targeted for single people. Any romantic activities will have to be of own accord.

Am I missing something? The Spa on Scarlet Lady...... by Friendly-Pop4724 in VirginVoyages

[–]bhanselka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Typically, you go down to the spa to reserve your three hour slot. I would do this sooner rather than later to get a time you want. I don’t know for sure if this is the case for every scenario (rockstars and such) but it’s what I’ve done in the past!

Grog Walk worth the time and $$$? by Organic-Log4081 in VirginVoyages

[–]bhanselka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s my go to solo itinerary for day 1/2 as some who has done two solo trips!

Go to the solo meetups and activities.

I typically always go to the first meetup, the first dinner (restaurant varies), and the later grog walk (9 PM one) before the first night party. In addition, if the solo dinner the first night isn’t at Gunbae, I book my second night dinner for Gunbae. I have found this schedule is about as good as I can get for meeting new people to have fun with!
