We all have our roles on vacation, when you're on a cruise, which one are you? The Nerd 🤓 Do you know how many passenger and crew are on the ship? Do you know how many nautical miles you’ll travel throughout your trip? Congratulations, you’re the nerd! You live for the fun facts of the trip. You love sharing behind the scenes trivia and destination secrets with your crew. The Organizer 🖊️ Did you have a calendar reminder set for when restaurant reservations opened for your trip? Do you have a colour-coded spreadsheet for each member of your crew? Congratulations, you’re the organizer! You know where everyone needs to be and when.

Virgin Voyages (my personal favourite) is adult-only so great for couples or bachelor/ette trips. And, if you're traveling solo, many cruise lines will have activi...
