If it's too loud, I'm too old: My experiences on a Virgin Voyages cruise

This is an exploration of the highs and lows I experienced on a recent cruise I took on a Virgin Voyages cruise. I was on the Valiant Lady for a 5-day cruise from Miami to the Dominican Republic. In this video, rather than present an overview of the cruise, I focused on the things that were the best and the worst for me on the cruise. Bring those earplugs!
If you'd like a good overview of a Virgin cruise, I would recommend Cruise with Ben and David's video: • What's it REALLY Like ...

The fact that they had a copy of Carnegie blows me away

I have also cruised for over 20 years. The biggest issue for me w Virgin is the itineraries. Too short and I’ve been to those places a million times in the Caribbean.
I don’t like the adult humor stuff and am not crude at all. We also like celebrity / princess. Princess entertainment we really enjoyed
Thank you for your review found it very helpful

Cruising and Ben and David is a great channel. Somehow I missed you were big on cruises. Hope you're well! Been a fan for over 12 years! :)

This sounds absolutely horrendous lol. Different strokes I guess.

I’m sorry to hear about your spouse in short term care.

[@ScottNicholson]

Thank you. We've been waiting for a long-term care home placement since August 2023, but the wait for a bed is long in Ontario. Once you are on that waiting list, you can then access the short-term care placements so you can have a break.

Great comments. I think Virgin could use your expertise?!?

[@geonapbin]

Have you ever run into a fan on board?

[@ScottNicholson]

Yes. I remember someone identified me on a trip and was asking questions and took a selfie with me. After they left, an older woman nearby came up to me and asked "Are you famous?"
My husband thought that was pretty funny.
