Creator's Key Takeaways

I finally tried Virgin Voyages for the first time. I sailed on the Scarlet Lady to the Caribbean and was really impressed with many aspects of the experience.

But there were some disappointments that left a very bad taste in my mouth, especially with their embarcation and disembarkcation process.

I really enjoyed a lot about the Virgin experience, including the modern cabins, the balcony hammocks, and the huge variety of included restaurants.

The big question is, would I recommend giving them a try? After having some time to reflect on the cruise and get over that whole disembarkcation drama, I realized that I did enjoy a lot of aspects of the experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't check in early; use hotel luggage storage and arrive at your assigned check-in time.
βœ“Bring your own robe and body lotion, as they are not included in standard cabins.
βœ“Keep a close eye on your budget in the casino, as machines may be set to pay lower.
