Creator's Key Takeaways

we work very hard for our money and my husband took a week of vacation for this trip I am left now sitting here feeling ripped off

the shows are just beyond excellent the the talent on that ship is just crazy and honestly the best entertainment I've seen at sea

the vibe on the ship was wonderful the the crew were amazing

the lack of empowerment that the people on board the ship had to make things right for the customer was appalling to me

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a mattress topper if you have a sea Terrace cabin
Book dining reservations early or be prepared to eat in the galley
Contact Sailor Services immediately if you have issues, but expect delays

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Vibe might be too party-centricThe crowd was wonderful and the vibe was not wild; it's more like a Choose Your Own Adventure with wellness tracks
Shows might be too muchShows are wholesome, uplifting, and excellent; not inappropriate at all

YouTube Video Description

UPDATE FROM VIRGIN: I received an email offering us an additional $300 back on our credit card for the electrical issues and the move. We also received an email with the title "Blackout Compensation" with the $350 credit for a future sailing. We will not be using it. Our sailing was January 24 - 28th, 2024 on the Scarlet Lady. If you were on our sailing and would like to share you story, I welcome you to do so in the comments below. So much to love about this cruise line and my sincere hope is that sharing this story will bring change. Because I am an incurable optimist.
