#11: Rockstar Suites & Virgin Voyages – The Seriously Suite Experience

What if your next cruise didn’t feel like a trip—but like slipping into a different version of yourself, one that lives in silk robes and never waits in line?

In this episode of Luxury Cruising, host Dr. Krystal Sodaitis is joined by the ultimate cruise duo: Lisa McWhorter, a frequent Virgin voyager who’s turned her love for cruising into an art form, and Sylvia Hannah, the travel whisperer behind Luxe for Less Travel. Together, they paint a picture of what it really means to go Rockstar on Virgin Voyages  Scarlet Lady.

We’re talking beds you don’t want to leave, spa access you didn’t know you needed, a bar curated just for your tastes—and a Rockstar agent who seems to know what you need before you do. This isn’t just cruising; it’s care, curation, and a little bit of swanky glam.

Whether it’s the magic of Pink Agave’s steak, the unexpected charm of a turntable in your suite, or the magic of Richard’s Rooftop at sunset, Lisa and Sylvia are here to prove: once you go Rockstar, you may never go back.
