Creator's Key Takeaways

We just finished our first Virgin Voyages cruise.

I was really kind of surprised about that. I was expecting to be one of the older ones on the board and see a bunch of young people running around.

I didn't find the dining to be on a caliber of a specialty dining restaurant on other cruise lines we've been on.

The crew aboard the Scarlet Lady are so very very nice, professional, helpful. They they're just really awesome.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book dining reservations as soon as they open to avoid limited time slots.
βœ“Arrive at entertainment venues 30-45 minutes early to secure seating.

Being too old for Virgin Voyages β€” There's a wide age distribution aboard the ship; you won't be out of place.
Food quality not meeting expectations β€” Specialty dining may not be as high-end as other cruise lines; manage expectations.
