Virgin Voyages costs exactly the same whether you book direct or through a First Mate travel advisor — but with an advisor you get a real person planning your sailing, stacking promos, and answering questions before, during, and after your cruise. Steve Griswold is a Virgin Voyages Top 100 First Mate (2024), one of fewer than 100 First Mate-recognized advisors, and writes this blog with firsthand ship reviews, cabin guides, and a bar tab calculator.
