Virgin Voyages a cruise to remember on the Scarlet Lady
Set sail on the #virginvoyages cruise! We had the pleasure of exploring the open sea with our first time cruising on the scarlet lady! The adults only, luxury cruise line far seeded our expectations! Every sailing includes dining at 20+ eateries (all made-to-order and with menus by Michelin-starred chefs), WiFi, basic beverages, all gratuities, and group fitness classes.
What's included, besides the endless fun, great people you will meet, the luxury at sea and and endless of good time:
Shows & Entertainment
Developed by the world’s most-talked-about producers and artists, you have a ticket to all of our awe-inspiring shows.
Virgin's swapping classic Broadway productions for a festival-like lineup featuring first-to-sea entertainment, pop-up acts, and immersive experiences created by the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists.
⭑ Iconic, multi-story nightclub
⭑ Casino, gaming and lounges
⭑ A contemporary poolside oasis
⭑ Private karaoke booths
⭑ Transformational performance areas
Honestly some of the shows were AMAZING! We thought they would be cheesy, but truthful I would give them a 10/10! The themed nights as well like the scarlet red night, PJ party was a blast! 95% of the ship participated which to us, made it more fun. It's never fun when a theme event is put in place and you are one of the only few who dresses up/partakes! 10/10! love a good theme ;) The night club was a blast, the variety show and the Drag show around the world! For sure something to check out if they are on the same ships! TIP: make sure you book before hand and show at least 15 minutes early or you won't get a seat or denied entry until the next show (if they offer it)
Wifi
Browse, post, and stay connected with wifi — whenever you want, and wherever you are on the ship.
All Food
From refined dining to relaxed casual, all of our 20+ eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin star chefs are yours to enjoy.
With incredible menus and unique experiences designed by a hand-picked Michelin-starred chef collective, all of our 20+ cruise restaurants use fresh ingredients to create made-to-order, always-included food to crush any craving — from decadent steakhouse dining and trendy Mexican to our first-to-sea Korean BBQ grilling and fresh market-inspired fare. The food was by far way better than we expected! We loved that the gallay ( food court area for adults wink) Was open late night, escpailly our favorite- made to order gourmet pizzas!! The perfect late night snacks, if you were dancing the night away!
Tips
We've taken care (of taking care) of your servers, so we cover the gratuities for your onboard experiences.
Group Fitness Classes
Yoga, meditation, cycling, HIIT classes, and more — all your group fitness classes are covered.
The fitness classes were great, the gym was amazing. We know when you are on vacation you don't want to work out, but after drinking, eating all day all night its night to get a work out in, especially when you are the ship for more than 5 days- its worth it!!
Essential Drinks
Stay hydrated with still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas and even drip coffee.Grab a Bar Tab for an all-inclusive cruising experience. It's our elevated and fairer drinks package that lets you revel in craft cocktails from top mixologists, an unrivaled selection of wines, your favorite spirits, and specialty coffee. No Bar Tab, no problem — as all premium beverages are fairly priced. We reccomend buying the drink packages bar tabs before hand ( which you only can) however the drinks are top notch and are pretty affordable truthfully! Its a little bit of a bummer that they dont offer true drink packages but after talking with alot of other cruisers who have been on other ships, they said that it was actually more affordable this way and you dont waste money. So Virgin Voyages, looks like you are doing something right, but still would like some sort of drink packages ha!
Suites/Rooms
Sea Terrace
That horizon won't gaze at itself
Whether you're getting ready inside at the glam area, rinsing off in your Roomy Rainshower or relaxing outside on your hand-woven terrace hammock (that almost all of our Sea Terraces offer), our spaces are designed to give you sweeping views of the horizon as our mood lighting intuitively matches the light from the oncoming sunset.
Where superyachts meet luxury cruises, our RockStar Quarters bring you the lifestyle you deserve. Accents of brass, stunning marble bathrooms, spacious stargazing terraces, champagne tables and exclusive treatment are yours in these VIP suites. Live out your holiday dreams and be the rockstar you are. Elevated living on board comes with elevated access. RockStar status starts before you even set sail; early boarding through a VIP entrance, priority access to booking, and 24/7 access to RockStar Agents answering any and all of your needs. Booking a suite unlocks access to Richard's Rooftop; the exclusive deck where elegance meets exuberance. A lavish, elaborate and members-only outdoor space for stargazing parties and pre-dinner cocktail hours for you and the other rockstars.
Overall we would 100% book a Virgin Voyages cruise, yet we are so excited to book again! We spoke with ALOT of other guests, who said this was the best cruise from all the other cruises. If you are looking for Adults only, luxury, great food, great people, and a great time this is it! BOOK BOOK BOOK! They ship goes to amazing spots, private beach clubs, etc. The Staff are absolutely amazing, we didn't even think we would make friends with the staff, but their attention to detail and love for what they do is shown!
Lastly, for us, the most important thing was that the ship was very LGBTQ+ friendly, escpially with a few drag shows on ship, a lot of other LGBTQ sailors, staff etc. The great part was the inclusively, the shows would have all walks of life attend, especially those you could tell never been to a drag show- and it was refreshing to see EVERYONE ENJOY themselves!
Check out the website below and book your first or next cruise! We will be going again so hope to see you all there! :)
