Above is the link for booking if wanting to do so on your own.
It is a bit complicated to book so please directly contact Andrea Mason or Jeff Slyn for help in doing so!
The TEMPORARY $109+ per night special only goes through 9/10!
Virgin is an amazing, Adults ONLY cruise line-your cost includes cabin, WiFi, coffee & soft drinks, all gratuities/taxes, exercise classes (indoors & out), port charges and more. 20+ eateries on this ship. The nicest ones cost NO extra/are included! While there is no buffet, you also won't have people sneezing or coughing on the serving pieces. There are fast service restaurants aboard.
This 7-night sailing departs from San Juan before waking up at the natural swimming pools and vivid flora of St. Maarten. From there, dock at the verdant mountains and lush rainforests of St. Kitts, followed by Antigua, and the eclectic array of beauty that makes up St. Lucia. Finally, spend a day sailing to St. Thomas before returning to San Juan. 5 quality ports in 7 nights!
They have a monthly "special" that changes. Airfare, insurance & San Juan prepackage are not included in their heavily discounted price. At the time this is posted, round trip air was between $550-800 from Louisville (not including expensive Delta). There are no nonstop flights we can find out of SDF, Cincinnati nor Indianapolis.
Questions? Don't be shy but first please READ ALL OF THIS (& it is being updated). Our feeling is "the more the merrier" for the cruise and we hope for a nice sized crowd. We have each previously organized international trips for friends and this time combining our talents.
While the Valiant Lady isn't scheduled to depart San Juan until 8 pm, everyone must be aboard by 6 pm. Please consider coming in at least 1 night in advance. If we have a group large enough in advance, we can try to get discounted hotel pricing-either via the cruise line or Andrea. At this time, transportation to/from the airport (SJU) or Lady Valliant is not included but we are working on that. Andrea & Jeff are going in 2 days early.
This is for anyone-married, single, in a relationship-climb aboard. You can come from anywhere in the US (or outside) to join us.
The age range will probably be mid 40s through early 70s.
A booking requires ~20% down for the total cabin price. There are financing options with VV (Virgin Voyages). You can hold a reservation for free 24 hours and pay before that expires. Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover all taken.
NOTE! THE "Lock It In" RATES ALLOW NO CHANGES AND CABIN # ASSIGNED AT A LATER DATE. We recommend *against* this.
Cabin updates 9/4/25:
*All Insider cabins are sold out.
*Sea View cabins have a porthole and start at $2226 LII (Lock It In-we recommend against) or $2730 with changes allowed; plus optional insurance & ~20% deposit
*$2800 Limited View balcony cabins
*There were only 304 central/midship Sea Terrace cabins left at $3360 each.
*The balcony Forward or Aft cabins are $3150 and only 91 of them still available.
*10 XLs not yet reserved at $3570.
Reminder: the per cabin price you divide in half per person. There is a September promotion in effect starting at $109 per day. I can get full details of it if anyone is interested.
Insurance does not cover change of mind!
There are 4 different categories/sizes/locations of Sea Terrace rooms! XL (225 sq. ft.), Central (mid ship; more expensive), The (forward or aft) and Limited View (least expensive; close to lower deck).
Virgin offers insurance. It ONLY covers what you book through us with Virgin (such as cruise). If you go through Virgin for hotel or airfare, the insurance cost goes up but will cover it all. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST Allianz INSURANCE as they have custom made type policies that cover $1000, $2000 or $3000 in your costs.
Please book through our group link! Info at top and below. It will also entitle us to 1 EPIC group dinner. We will poll you to find out which dinner shift (early or late), your top choice of restaurants (we have to list them in a 1-6 order) and which night you prefer (guessing a night at sea?!). You must be paid in full to join the group for this and we can't request any sooner than 120 days in advance.

READ THIS!!! If the above link takes you booking any of their cruises, follow this in order to get to ours:

6. Pick how many total staying in your cabin
7. Check the box ONLY if you need a handicapped accessible cabin
8. Give it a minute to find them all and click on View Cabins
9. Filter the type of room you want by clicking on $, $$ or $$$
$ is Insider, $$ in Sea View (porthole) or $$$ for Sea Terrace.
Any reservation can be switched to Andrea but it still a wise idea to be in touch with us first.
We are hoping to make reservations for a hotel in San Juan 1 or 2 nights in advance of the cruise. Let Andrea & Jeff know which day you prefer to go in (Thursday or Friday). If you come in day of the cruise, you are risking air delays!
Keep in mind, flight times and even connecting airports can change. Either of us can update you on flights, hotel or San Juan excursions.
ROOMMATE: We can attempt to help you find a cabinmate. However, it is your responsibility to decide together on this.
You should do your best to book before October 3rd as that is the final payment deadline for those already booked! You can still join us after that date for whatever cabins are still available and have the reservation switched to us be we strongly recommend not waiting until then unless you have to. Typically, the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets!
