Creator's Key Takeaways

We are finally going on a Virgin cruise. It has been a long time coming for me.

We're really trying to figure things out cuz there's not a lot of instructions.

I'm very happy. I'm going to bed happy right now tonight.

I don't think I had any bad experiences that make me think no way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the wristband for room access and payments.
Book shows and dining reservations early to avoid confusion.
Explore the ship thoroughly to understand the layout.

It's Cruise Day, and it's time for our first-ever Virgin cruise experience. We boarded the Scarlet Lady in Miami for the first of eight days on this unique cruise line. Are we too old for Virgin? Is it too wild? Is it Ikea at sea? ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 - Curb to Ship 3:28 - Balcony Cabin Tour 11:38 - First Late Lunch 18:23 - Muster Where? 20:56 - Sailaway Party 24:55 - The Wake Steakhouse 30:10 - Exploring the Ship 40:30 - Amazing Theatre Show 41:28 - Pajama Party & Thoughts ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.
