Virgin Voyages LUXURIOUS Rockstar Suites Review - Worth it?

We'll be staying in a luxurious $10,000+ Rockstar room called the Brilliant Suite, and exploring vibrant destinations across the Mediterranean like Marseille, Cannes, Monaco, Palma de Mallorca, & Ibiza.
I'll review manynof the perks and benefits of staying in the Brilliant Suite, a Rockstar Suite on a luxurious journey aboard Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady super yacht. Experience the rockstar lifestyle firsthand as we take you through the suite's fully stocked bar, record player, and even a peekaboo shower. We also have access to Richard Branson's VIP rooftop terrace where champagne flows for free every afternoon.
I'll be embarking on this cruise without my luggage, which was lost by the airline. But thats ok because we'll be with even more friends than expected and lost luggage definitely didn't stop us from enjoying the many restaurants, fitness classes, and on-board activities, including getting bedazzled with glitter on Scarlet Night.
Plus, we reveal how we saved over $8000 on this rockstar suite and initially booked this cruise absolutely free using points. Don't miss out on this extravagant adventure and please hit the like button to support my dream of making more travel videos like this one.

    Thank you so much, Dustin! I have a video production company with my wife, this channel is my creative outlet. I really love The Ataris and I got the hoodie last April at The House of Blues in Anaheim. They played the whole So Long, Astoria album - it was such a great show! I went with my friends Mike & Amber who surprised us on this cruise and Amber bought me that hoodie. 🤘

    Only found your channel today. (Curiosity peaked by at $199 cruise. Didn’t know they existed!) You are excellent at taking an audience with you and reviewing cruises. “I made the red carpet!” Made me laugh. So did There’s a Fungi Amongi. I will be honest. Up till now, I have been familiar with crimes on cruise ships and never was interested. But these videos make cruises actually look fun. Best wishes to you and your loved ones.

    Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words! 🙏 That’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to the red carpet. 🤣 We are fairly new to cruising but well traveled and we’ve been surprised by how much we loved it. The cheapest MSC cruises are in the $330 range last I checked, but you still have to pay taxes/port fees/gratuities which could be close to $200. A different experience than Virgin in many ways but I still had a great time!

    Thank you so much! You’ll be much happier when you can make the best of a bad situation, and having our friends surprise us in Barcelona definitely brightened my day. I was lucky that I could afford to go shopping for some new clothes, and eventually I got reimbursed from the airline and luckily got the bag back a few days later. I’ll have to find some more bad jokes for the next one. 😂 We are back on Virgin again soon!

    I have a question for you. In this video, I noticed you took your mom who stayed in a regular room. How is she able to access Richard's rooftop with you? My cousin is coming along on our cruise and we have a suite. I also also noticed how she got on the cruise with you as a VIP. Did you just call beforehand? That would be so awesome if she was able to have the same access. By the way, loved your video, and we are about to embark on our second ever virgin cruise, for three full weeks

    Our rockstar agent gave her a card for access with us, and we asked and they let her check in with us too. We were traveling with other friends and they did not get access, just her mom. I’m jealous you’re going for three weeks, we just did five days on Scarlet Lady last week and it wasn’t nearly enough!

    What was the minimum bid for your brilliant suite then? Did you bid over their minimum?

  • @HDjeff

    @HDjeff

    7 ай бұрын

    It was just under $2k and we bid just over, probably around $150 more but that probably wasn’t necessary. They’ve had higher capacity lately because of the delayed fourth ship so it may be tougher to get an upgrade over the next year.

    In ancient Greek theatre, all of the female roles were performed by men. So really it's an element of theatric performance that's been around for thousands of years.

    @HDjeff I guess not. I've seen RuPaul and others... Just not a fan. Let's look at it in basic terms and strip it down to the roots. If some big ol' guy is funny or entertaining dressed up like a woman, why wouldn't that same guy be funny or entertaining dressed up as a man?
