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.
