If you’re cruising into Taino Bay, here’s what you actually need to know. I was genuinely surprised. It’s clean, modern, and way more built out than I expected. Shops, photo spots, a lazy river, restaurants you could easily spend a few hours here without feeling bored.
I left for an excursion, but coming back and spending the afternoon inside the port was actually… nice. Easy. Low stress.
If you want adventure or deeper culture, leave the port. If you want a relaxed day? You truly don’t have to. Save this for your Puerto Plata stop & read the full blog now! 🌴
I wouldn’t recommend @virginvoyages to everyone…🫢
If you’re Googling who Virgin Voyages is really for, you’re probably wondering if it fits your travel style, or if it’s just great marketing. I’ve sailed multiple times, taste-tested the ship (for research, obviously), and paid attention to the details that actually matter.
Here’s the honest answer, no cruise brochure fluff. Head to my blog to read more about planning your trip!🚢

Day 2, Puerto Plata… waterfalls, city walks, and zero rush.🌴
Port day in Puerto Plata and we truly packed it in waterfalls, wandering through town, and actually having time to explore. One thing @virginvoyages does so well? Long port days. No sprinting back to the ship. No watching the clock all day.
Dinner at Extra Virgin tonight (yes, included). Fresh pasta, made to order, a menu that feels like a real restaurant not cruise food. No constant upsells. No nickel-and-diming. Dining, drinks, Wi-Fi… it’s all just handled.
You really start to see what you’re paying for and what you’re not. Ending the night with Scarlet Night! Full day out. Full night in. This is the sweet spot.✨

This is my third sailing with @virginvoyages, and somehow it still surprises me… in the best way!🚢☀️
No buffets. No kids. No cheesy cruise clichés. Just elevated dining, wellness at sea, late-night parties, and a vibe that feels more boutique hotel than cruise ship.
Every time I think I know what to expect… I’m proven wrong.
Let’s get into Day 1!

Boise in one day? I say… absolutely. ✨
For a compact, well-rounded visit, Boise truly delivers. You can eat incredibly well, wander downtown on foot, stumble upon public art, cruise the river, and still have time to sit down for a solid dinner, all without feeling rushed or over planned.
It’s the kind of city that’s easy to settle into… even if you’re just passing through. And honestly? That’s what makes it so special.
Is Boise on your travel bucket list?✈️
