Episode 492: Virgin Voyages with Tracy Aldridge
If you haven’t heard of Virgin Voyages, it might be because The Scarlet Lady debuted in 2020 when most of us were sequestered in our homes. This new cruise line is getting lots of buzz and winning awards. Touted as an adult only alternative to the mainstream cruise lines, Virgin Voyages is gaining momentum and becoming a force to be reckoned with. I would like to introduce Tracy Aldridge tonight to talk with us about what makes Virgin Voyages so special.

This week we are switching things up. We were trying to think of a fun game we could play, similar to our Two Truths and a Lie series, to help educate our listeners and spark some inspiration for a new bucket list destination. And so Would You Rather, Travel Edition was born! I’m going to be giving my friends 2 different options to choose from, and hopefully it will get you thinking as well about where in the world you’d like to visit.

The Oasis of the Seas was the largest ship in the world when she launched in 2008.
