Creator's Key Takeaways

We did five nights on board the Scarlet Lady, and we're a couple that usually cruises with our son.

I have not had that happen. I've been cruising since 2011. It's 2026. I've never had my bag show up and beat me to the room before.

Pink Agave has some of the best guacamole I ever had in my life. It was so good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your dinner and brunch reservations in advance through the app.
Wear comfortable shoes for Bimini Beach Club and take the shuttle instead of walking.
Sign up for fitness classes as soon as you board the ship, as they fill up quickly.
Check if your sailing has an 'after dark' event at Pink Agave for a livelier experience.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Adult-only cruise environmentThe adult-only aspect is felt through explicit music/shows and sophisticated food, but the crew and vibe make it welcoming.
Ship size and pool crowdingThe ship is boutique-sized with only one pool, so don't expect to lounge by the pool all day without crowding.
