I just got off Virgin Voyages and I was sooooo impressed. I felt like it was relaxing if you wanted it be and a turn up if that's what you want. There was literally something for everyone. NO KIDS! Best thing ever. I am so grateful for your videos. They helped in my decision to sail Virgin and I am so glad I did.

[@QueenShe99]

Although Virgin cruises are higher, it sounds like you definitely get more value for your money than Carnival. This was a very informative video. Thanks guys!

[@sheilae4087]

Went on my first Virgin Voyage Cruise for my 50th birthday in January 2023. Hands down the best vacation ever! I can never sail with anyone else.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

It’s does suck when you have to sail another line after Virgin

[@ONEJJLEFT]

Because Of Lynette And Stanley My First Cruise In August Went Smooth Now Im Booking Many More Cruises

[@shaneensouth2454]

I can totally agree my Husband and I cruised also in August 1st timers. We cruised like veterans thanks again we definitely ready for future cruises you guys are awesome!

[@stacey3357]

All we need Virgin to do is have the same activities, set up and entertainment like carnival and royal carribean cause we still want to do these activities but without the kids

[@LifeWithUsTV]

I totally agree

[@kentrelt5140]

Agree. I'm looking to book my 1st cruise for my birthday in March. I want an adult only cruise but with the amusement activities. I'm stuck between Virgin voyages or Royal Caribbean allure of the seas. I love the classy look of virgin. I think it may be boring at seas though. Wht do I do.

[@user-kr4qi5hr8k]

I love Carnival, but hands down, my cruise this year with Virgin has been the best to date!!!

[@Karla-op1gn]

I'm taking my first solo cruise on virgin on Thanksgiving... your videos and discussions have really helped me. I won't be nerves because I seen where everything is at.

[@teave1229]

Carnival Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration have a lot of specialty dining that is included in their fare.

[@annamariadenner2518]

Still love carnival the best and depending on what time of the year, you don’t have to worry about seeing kids on the cruise ship.

[@tdubblz]

Upfront the first thing I realized is that the prices aren’t that different… with Virgin it’s already included and you pay upfront. Carnival Nickles and dimes you over time.

[@chandraprevost6511]

I love you two, Ive watched several. I don't think I can get with someone who I can't travel with. You two show me it's possible.

[@tdubblz]

First of all just let me say I love this couple! I love the energy y’all have between each other. Looks like the type of couple we wouldn’t mind hanging out with on a cruise ship.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

🥰🥰

[@ColeWorldLiving]

We Just Cruised Virgin Valiant Lady 12 - 2/10 -23. And I Must Say It Was A Great Time. Start To Finish The Customer Service Was Unmatched. No Kids Definitely A Plus, And Just Vibes. Loved It❤

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Loveee Virgin

[@canceradvocate2256]

The breakdown was excellent and I’m grateful for all of the work that you put in to bring this to us.

[@cynthiajudkins2250]

Very interesting, my husband and I cruise with carnival and we tried a cruise with royal Caribbean and we didn't like it but virgin sounds interesting enough for us to at least try it.

[@melanies4868]

I absolutely love Carnival! I might try Virgin. The no children would be wonderful.

[@caramartinhoward4528]

I love how you described Virgin Voyage as a yacht atmosphere. That is the perfect description of it. Love the channel and how real you all are. Thanks!

[@alethaterrell8821]

I did 2 b2b cruises on the Celebration this year. They cut down on most shows, the sail away party , the white party and the 80's party.... approximately 30-40 minutes. What a bomber 😢😮.

[@choclitdyme]

THANKS FOR THIS YALL!!!!!!

[@journeywithme_erika1890]

What up fam! I'm literally craving a VV cruise! G&S 2024 cannot wait! I dont even care about the cost! The quality of food alone makes the difference for me! ❤ spaces to just be quiet outside of my room was also a win! I just loved it! And room service was bomb! And I hit a lil something in the Casino too thanks to my Sis Rizzy Riz! It was just a really good trip!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

🥰🥰

[@n7y8c7]

L&S will NOT steer you wrong! VV is just leagues above Carnival. Watch their videos and you'll probably have them booking a cruise for you immediately! Especially once you see the food!

[@malinda228]

I've done Carnival and I'm doing VV next year for my birthday...I'm excited! The NO kids was a seller for ME! 🙃😂

[@igray5311]

Just sailed with Virgin in Sept. I had the best time. I could just be. If I wanted to do the most I could. If i wanted to chill out I could. I was so happy I could enjoy the casino w/out smoke!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Loveeee Virgin.

[@angelamartin1147]

Very helpful. Thx!

[@andersonspearman]

Thanks for this trying to get my friends to come on the valiant lady in March , needed this breakdown

[@mf31581]

I've been waiting on this video. Thank you for the comparison info. Great content

[@malcolmstarks4432]

Dope, this was the video I've been waiting for. Nyce!!!

[@rosestephens8608]

I'm enjoying all of your videos and the knowledge you share. Thank you 🤗

[@shamesekibby3775]

Omg thank you for sharing. I will definitely lock this in

[@EvolvingwithEtta]

Thanks guys!!! This was an absolutely fantastic breakdown!!!! 👏🏽 I love videos!

[@leshayna11]

Great review guys xxx

[@kieshaa2259]

This was a super helpful comparison with great info I didn’t know, even after watching a lot of other videos! Thank you!!

[@C.VEEJay]

I am soooo proud of you guys. What a way to represent "The River City", Midlo resident here. Keep living your best lives. Blessings and prosperity to you both😊.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Thank you so much!

[@HollyDTravelingAfterTransplant]

Love your guys' review/comparison! For sure used your content for my first sailing on VV! Thanks!

[@shirleyconnor1595]

thanks sooooo MUCH for the 411 it has helped me solidify my choice for virgin voyages.

[@kharlajean36]

I love this, thank you

[@BeefromSC]

Thanks for this video, I just forwarded to a friend that’s been on a Carnival cruise and trying to decide if she should sail on Virgin next!

[@bubbasreviews5295]

Great Video!

[@sammymug29]

Kudos on the lighting and video/audio quality…… Keep the videos coming. We appreciate you guys 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@marcgaskin2364]

Was on Carnival & Virgin last year and NCL in July... not sure if I'll ever cruise on anything but Virgin ever again

[@LifeWithUsTV]

🥰

[@jeffpayton3149]

I just Luv you guys, you make it sooo real. Stan you da Man and Lynette who's always Ready & Set...keep it movin guys you are great

[@keishakeesh]

Loooong time Carnival cruiser. My curiosity is increasing and I'm thinking about trying Virgin. Thank you for the video... It was very informative!

[@juanicole617]

This was very enjoyable. I’m laughing with y’all! Now I want to try out Virgin!

[@bdrennon3663]

Thank you for this great update I really appreciate you 2❤. Love the comparisons now you got me thinking about Virgin. I do love cruising with Carnival I have met so many great people. Ty you both for this great vblog. ❤

[@kimkirksey562]

I'm glad to hear the Virgin Casino is not inviting...I'm not a Casino person but I do get drawn in by the lights and bells

[@Houdini__00]

I like these videos, I recently traveled on carnival mardi gras & looking to go on virgin voyages & royal caribbean

[@sherrybickhem9849]

I can't wait!!😍😍😍😍

[@d-lin-z3825]

Great information!! Love you guys!!!

[@runboyprod3880]

I just clicked your Facebook groups. It will be my lady and I first time on a sea side vacation and we hope too go with your groups 🎉🎉🎉

[@SamirahThompson0]

Hey Y’all! ❤y’all are one of my faves on KZbin for travel tips and advice! I’m not apart of the grown and sexy group cruise, but my partner and I will be on the same ship! I hope to see you both on there☺️

[@kimberlykyle6451]

Sounds like i will stay with Carnival....just got back from my cruise was so turnt up! Will be going back next May. Will try Virgin Voyage next time 😊

[@Aquita17]

Very helpful video. I'm planning my trip to Virgin later in 2024.

[@r1ley536]

Im.going on virgin in February mostly looking forward to the food 😊 i get bored super easy so hoping its not boring

[@kyandrafox6247]

Going on VV for my birthday in October! So excited , though yall made me wish I wasn't balling on a budget so I could've gotten a suite 🤣

[@ggotjesus]

Luv u two so much ❤❤❤❤great info and you’re so fun 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Thanks so much!!

[@Claudymaze]

The only complaint that I got from my clients on Virgin was no comedy. Carnival Comedy is fun.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Agreed

[@monicamakins]

Hi Fam I ran into you guys on a Norfolk Carnival cruise to Bahamas June 22! I enjoy watching your videos and admire how much you cruise and living your best life.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

🥰🥰

[@anthonymerriweather4292]

Because of you, stanley and lynette, i'm going on my fourth cruise

[@LilisaKnox]

Hey guys👋. Miss yall...I haven't been watching for a while, but I'm back and I can really appreciate all the info about cruises, but I really miss yalls day to day life I learned so.much by watching that esp when yall go on vacation and the restaurants u go-to. I went to a Mexican restaurant in Myrtle Beach based on ur recommendations and it was awesome! So bring a lil of that back. Love u guys🩷!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

They never left, we still do those videos behind membership. Become a member for that content.

[@vagabonddeesadventures8491]

Great video. May consider VV in the future. Looking at Celebrity next summer. Carnival is getting alot of neg publicity showing people removed for drugs, locked up for fighting, people laying out in the hallways drunk, etc. After my first major cruise being on HAL I don’t know if I would feel comfortable on Carnival. That’s alot of money to save up and spend only to be met with unruly children and adults.

[@pastrick69]

Great job with breaking things down. Loved this comparison. TY!!

[@lataviawilliams9735]

The worst thing we ever did was take that 1st Virgin Voyage cruise we booked the next 1 before we even got back then we had a carnival cruise on the new Venezia 28 days later chiiiiile we compared everything to Virgin lol we are platinum cruisers with carnival so please understand how hard it is to kick them to the crub after all these years of loyalty lol but the No kids & less crowded-ness WON lol

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Lmboooo I feel ya and trust me You can’t help but compare

[@reginaldgrisby4385]

Thank you very much. Exactly what I was looking for

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Glad it helped

[@cruiselifeeric]

Another great video, thank you.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@greystoke2019]

Absolutely brilliant video. Funny ("That ain't your problem!") and entertaining but soo informative! You have the formula!! I love how you contrasted the differences but came at them from a positive (IMHO) perspective. Great video and valuable information!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Thanks so much!

[@mdot100]

I love the NO KIDS factor of Virgin, but I like FUN even more so Carnival gets my vote! I know the Virgin ship has classier looking rooms and a better "room perks" options, but I NEED a nightlife when I'm stuck on a boat for 7 days! Better parties and atmosphere, yeah Carnival WINS!!!

[@Mrs.Portia_G]

Yesss! My sentiments too!!

[@r1ley536]

That’s my biggest fear is that it’s gonna be boring

[@Lyladebo22]

Thanks for saying this because I was wondering about their nightlife..Carnival would definitely win for me as well

[@ms.international]

Virgin Voyages definitely has a nightlife!

[@niasquire]

I am going to be on that December 16th VV Cruise

[@funnypeoplerule]

I actually subscribed to you guys and I haven't done that on any travel vloggers. I feel like you guys are our cool neighbors lol

[@Nluvwitmanuel]

Now that was a very fun and enjoyable review! Dang! I'm about to cruise with Virgin on November 10.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Yassss

[@crissy0318]

Love yall❤

[@jacquelinejones4629]

I can't wait to experience Virgin Voyager. I have not experienced the hype atmosphere that you all have on Carnival. I've been on 3 cruises with Carnival.

[@drewoke5046]

You must have been on one of them old ships .

[@sophiacadet9472]

Hi! Love your videos! I was researching into cruises for my honeymoon. Next year, God willing. These videos are so helpful! Would a honeymoon cruise video possible?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Idk if I’d help much from a personally perspective.

[@TopherTino]

I was waiting for y’all to mention Golden Champagne Hour! That was one of the best parts of the rockstar suites! 😅😂

[@LifeWithUsTV]

We did. We may have called it something else

[@TopherTino]

@@LifeWithUsTV no, I know you mentioned it! I was just anticipating what y’all would say about it because I knew you wouldn’t leave that bit of info out. That could make or break a decision. 😂🤣

[@LifeWithUsTV]

lol

[@shannonhutchinson4084]

Sad to see Virgin cancel so many cruises. Looking forward to booking another cruise with you.

[@kirstenjohnson3334]

I can't wait to go on my Virgin voyages cruise in April 2024 and I'm so happy your my travel agent Lynette!!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

🥰🥰

[@tharry1228]

Also with Virgin I think their drink pkgs are also included as well

[@LifeWithUsTV]

No they’re not but sometimes they run promos to include it.

[@dinaachtzener352]

Hi Lynette and Stanley! Do you have a referral link for the Level 8 luggage?! TIA! Love your videos !!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Yep, here ya go. Purchase Level 8 Luggage: bit.ly/43zZdKe use code LIFEWITHUS10 to save 10% off.

[@nancyannesunboxings]

One other big difference is that Carnival goes to a LOT more ports! How I wish Virgin went to Alaska!!

[@donnatidwell2212]

Thanks for your video! Going on a Virgin cruise in Dec and a Carnival cruise in April! can’t wait!!! Hey one question do you get free drinks in Virgin’s Casino?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Not that I know of

[@IAmMsGoldenT]

Im glad you talked about the Casino....how in the world is the Casino boring...lol...do they give the offers like Carnival?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Yes but I haven’t seen a great one yet

[@shondad]

Not to mention the fact that Virgin includes sodas. On Carnival you must purchase the soda package.

[@selitac2322]

Main difference Virgin is adult only so that allows more options for inclusion

[@Truthbtold562]

This video was so informative ! Question : which cruise line would you recommend for couples?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Virgin 🥰

[@therealfmnj]

If you drive to the port of take off is there parking?! How much? Any details on that!? Also love u guys lols

[@emmabourke6565]

With VV if you book well in advance, youll get it for a great price. €2950, 12 night, Resiliant Lady, September/October 2024, central balcony, plus $600 bar tab... Flights for 2 return €300 €3400 in total 1 day hotel pre cruise €130.. BRING. IT. ON.😂🎉

[@NETTESFINDZANDMORE]

Great video. Just subscribed to your channel.. I definitely have to try Virgin Voyage. I really like/love Carnival Cruises when I go on them. Have you been on Royal Caribbean?😅

[@LifeWithUsTV]

This week ✔️

[@mr.dancinmachine9723]

My lady and I like to cruise Norwegian. I like to think it's somewhere between virgin and carnival.

[@lamontmajor9801]

One day I will do VV cruise😊😊😊

[@blondieb2015]

Hey can you please do a review on which ship is best to go on for party vibe on Carnival….recently went on Carnival Conquest and it was not fun😢

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Conquest and Liberty are the booze cruises of Carnival soooo idk what to tell ya on that lol. Maybe the right crowd wasn’t onboard.

[@tanyadeejones996]

I have learned I prefer the upfront costs and flexibility of my bar tab than paying for the cruise and having all these add ons.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Me too

[@n7y8c7]

Nothing like walking off the ship with no additional charges!

[@spirituallysimplistic6580]

When do you all go live ??! Would love to see it ! My friend of mine can’t get a passport but does have I’d and social , would we be ok with a closed loop cruise on carnival ?!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Thursday 7pm est. On carnival yes not virgin

[@sharonedmond8692]

Gotta try the Virgin

[@n7y8c7]

They didn't say it, but I will: when you do, let Lynette book it for you. She is one of Virgin's TOP agents, and has access to special perks!!!

[@thenotsoemptynestercrafter2148]

Virgin sounds interesting and the no kids is definitely a turn on, but I truly enjoy Carnival cruises. Let me go book one now. LOL

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Lol

[@iwkaoy8758]

Just finished my first cruise own de carnival breeze Sep 16 .It was amazing bee cause your channel helped.

[@annamariadenner2518]

Carnival breeze was my favorite ship so far

[@fatsandtre]

Good information ❤❤

[@RH-qn4bn]

im so into carnival, but I must try Virgin

[@tejana971]

Great video! Really enjoyed it. Just a little concerned about some of the inappropriate shows. Do all the shows have this issue? 😊

[@LifeWithUsTV]

No but yes but no.

[@marthaoliva8227]

Okay gotcha@@LifeWithUsTV

[@HLTrds]

LOVING NO KIDS❤ ready to try virgin!!

[@mrsbrowneyes35]

How does one know about the different theme nights aboard the ship, does that information come from the cruise line once you book or is that something a travel agent would have to tell you. I plan on booking for my 50th birthday in 2025 but I wanna book early 2024 with Virgin.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

It’s on carnivals website

[@MrMegdamlat]

Just watching this because interested in Virgin for 2025. Was on Celebration with you guys in May. What’s your 2025 itinerary

[@LifeWithUsTV]

www.codefuntravel.com/grouptrips

[@Allinmyworld]

Do you guys have a Facebook group? Honestly $300 bar tab sounds like a lot but at like $14 bucks a cocktail which is what I like to drink the money adds up quick even with 1 shot or 2 $300 i racked up in 2 or 3 days

[@shericabland4590]

Me too

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Yes it’s linked in the description field.

[@msvonnivory]

I would love to go on the carnival group cruise with yall. My price through carnival is way cheaper. Is it possible to be a part of the group and pay through carnival?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

No there isn’t as most personalized VIFP promos (see the terms and conditions ) can’t be booked into a contracted group and therefore I can’t accommodate anyone that doesn’t secure via the group without me having to pay the difference in the contract.
