    Everything to Know Before You Cruise Ketchikan Alaska!

    If you're cruising into Ketchikan, Alaska, here's everything I wish I had known before I got off the ship. I came in twice on Virgin Voyages back to back, so I got to experience the port in very different ways and with very different weather. In this video, I'm walking you through how disembarkation actually works at Front Street, the two shore things I did (one was a Knudson Cove fishing charter, the other got cancelled due to rain), and exactly what I did with my Plan B day. Spoiler: there are way more options at port than you think. I'm also covering the best food spots (the Alaskan Fish House lives up to the hype and the Krabby Krab is a clutch backup), the lumberjack show, plus a few fun facts about Ketchikan that'll make you a smarter traveler before you arrive. **** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! **** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?

    Watch This BEFORE You Sail Virgin Voyages Alaska!

    If you're sailing Virgin Voyages Alaska, this is the video I wish I had before my back-to-back 14 nights on Brilliant Lady. There were so many things I didn't expect, and some of them you'll want to act on the second you book. I'm walking you through the shore things you need to book ASAP (some sell out fast), what the outdoor spaces are actually like (spoiler: people are outside way more than the internet would have you believe), and all the Alaska-only programming you'll want on your radar before you step on the ship. I'm also covering the Alaska food and drink situation (there's way more than I anticipated), why I'd push hard for a Sea Terrace on this sailing, and a bunch of small tips most sailors miss, from photo booths to the hidden Alaska live stream on your stateroom TV. 🏔️ Get my FREE Alaska packing list, port map, tips, and more!!https://christinelozada.com/alaska/ 📝Get on the EMAIL list!https://christinelozada.com/newsletter/ 🎥 See the Alaska PLAYLIST!   • Virgin Voyages Alaska Cruise: Planning + E...   Brilliant Lady What to Know video:    • Virgin Voyages BRILLIANT LADY! What to kno...   **** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! **** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal)🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?

    Is Kimpton Monaco Seattle Worth It? Honest Review

    If you're staying in downtown Seattle and considering the Kimpton Hotel Monaco, here's my honest review after staying there before my Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise. The property just went through a full renovation in August 2025, so a lot has changed. I'm walking you through the location, the on-site Marin restaurant (those Turkish eggs are unreal), the gym, the lobby's daily social hour, and a full room tour of the Monte Carlo suite. I also share the free Seattle experience amenity I used, which is a must-do. Plus, I'm sharing exactly what I paid, the Amex Platinum perks I used to save, and the small booking mistake I almost made that I want you to avoid. If you're choosing between hotels in downtown Seattle or planning a pre cruise stay, this should help you decide. ***Blog post coming soon!!! ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! ***** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?

    Virgin Voyages Seattle EMBARKATION Tips!

    Things I wish I knew about Seattle embarkation for Virgin Voyages cruise! This video is members-only first! In this video, I’m sharing what it was actually like boarding Brilliant Lady from Seattle’s Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91, including which Seattle cruise port Virgin uses, when to arrive, luggage drop-off, printed luggage tags, Rockstar vs non-Rockstar check-in, and what to keep with you before boarding. I’m also sharing what disembarkation was like, including luggage pickup, customs, taxis vs Uber/Lyft, and why the rideshare pickup area might not be the best choice if you have a lot of luggage. Hopefully this helps you plan ahead and start your Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise with way less stress. 📍 PIER 91 ADDRESS: Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, 2001 W Garfield St, Seattle, WA 98119 🏔️ Get my FREE Alaska packing list, port map, tips, and more!!https://christinelozada.com/alaska/ 📝Get on the EMAIL list!https://christinelozada.com/newsletter/ 🎥 See the Alaska PLAYLIST!https://youtu.be/v8Xvq234Alo Blog post about what not to bring:https://christinelozada.com/virgin-voyages-prohibited-items/ Wanna play pickleball?

    Previewing Virgin Voyages’ First Alaska Itinerary

    Virgin Voyages is going to Alaska for the FIRST time ever, and I board tomorrow. So the night before, I opened the app and went through the entire itinerary with you: what's new, what's different, and exactly what to expect on this sailing. This is Brilliant Lady's first-ever Alaska voyage out of Seattle, a 7-night roundtrip through the Inside Passage, Ketchikan, Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, and Prince Rupert. I've sailed Virgin 36 times, but Alaska is brand new for all of us, so we're doing the homework together. I walk through the app day by day, call out the new shows and entertainment, break down what's changed from a normal Virgin sailing, and drop my honest tips so you step on that ship knowing exactly what's coming. 📝 Get the Alaska packing list!https://christinelozada.kit.com/20453131bf 🎥 Excursions video and more Alaska video tips are coming soon! ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! ***** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?

    Virgin Voyages Barcelona Cruise Port Tips

    If you're cruising in or out of Barcelona with Virgin Voyages, there are a couple things I wish I knew before arriving. What surprised me the most is that Virgin Voyages can use two different cruise terminals in Barcelona, and they are not right next to each other. That alone can completely change your experience getting to or from the port, so it’s really important to check your app closer to your sailing date. I’m also sharing what disembarkation was like, including luggage pickup, passport tips, and my real experience choosing between Uber and a taxi (spoiler: not what I expected). If you're planning a Europe sailing, these small details can make a big difference in your travel day. There’s a full Europe playlist with more tips. I’ll see you in the next one.
