  • We recently did the Dominican Daze Virgin Voyages childfree Adult only cruise aboard Scarlet Lady out of Miami Florida in December. This video includes prices and information on all the things! This cruise is 5 nights with stops in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and Bimini Island, Bahamas. We have cruised before but weren't interested in cruising again until we heard really good things about the Virgin Voyages cruise line. Does it live up to the hype?

    What size suitcase did you use on the cruise? I have a 29” but afraid that will be overkill for my Feb cruise.

    • @mahoganydrive
      @mahoganydrive  Месяц назад

      I’m probably not the best person to ask because I consider myself an over packer…but I don’t think it’s overkill at all as long as you are okay checking a bag if you’re flying. Mine is 28” tall. I saw plenty of people with that size or bigger. Some had 2 rolling. For anything longer than a weekend or 5 days that’s pretty much the size I end up needing. I wish I could get by with less but I need what I need and I’d rather take a larger size than over stuff a smaller one.

    Another great vlog, CeCe. Sucks that you guys had such bad weather (even though it was December). Did you at least test the waters in Bimini? When we went a couple years ago, the air was cold, the sky was mostly cloudy until later in the afternoon, but the water was surprisingly warm.

    • @mahoganydrive
      @mahoganydrive  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks!!! We did put our feet in. Definitely not cold cold but not too warm either. But also, I was just cold in general so maybe I couldn’t even really tell, but throughout the day it didn’t seem like too many people were getting in. Sure was beautiful though! And even more so when the sun hit.

      We booked with our friend’s travel agent. They invited us to use a link from their travel agent to book our cruise. From what i understand agents can offer bar tab and loot. And sometimes Virgin will also offer loot and bar tab deals as well. If you book while you are still on a cruise they will usually offer loot and or bar tab.
