Virgin Voyages launched in 2021 as the sole adults-only major cruise line in the United States. After my first Virgin cruise, I returned again this year and was similarly impressed. Buffets are replaced with elevated restaurants, and there are no single-use plastics onboard. The company launched Celebration Voyages in 2023, which take things a step further when it comes to immersing in all things Virgin, and I joined for the follow up in 2024.

Disney World might be full of magic, but that doesn’t mean the magic has to stop once you leave the park.

The Intercontinental Singapore is offering guests a “Rain Resist Bliss” package, which reimburses one night of the stay if any of their planned activities are canceled due to rain. The city-state is known for its heavy rainfall, with an average of 171 days of rain per year, so the offer is a pretty solid insurance policy against the fairly likely prospect of rain, and a great way to save money in Singapore – a notoriously expensive city. There are some fairly strict stipulations, though.

But first, let’s start with some popular myths that people believe will get them upgraded but which will actually just get them laughed at behind closed doors by airline personnel. How NOT to get into business classThere are all kinds of misconceptions swirling around how to snag a business class upgrade, ranging from dressing to the nines and charming a flight attendant to simply walking in like you own the place and requesting one.
