Creator's Key Takeaways
Virgin Voyages is big, shiny, and red. It's the cruise line for people that don't do cruises.
Checking and embarcation was rubbish. My first time boarding in Portsmouth, and God willing, my last.
The reality of Scarlet Night. Well, maybe 90% of people wear something red.
In the end, Virgin Voyages was better than I'd feared and worse than I'd hoped.
