Creator's Key Takeaways

Virgin boarding late just kind of makes for a trippy port experience, especially with us embarking so late.

I do find Virgin Embarcation to be pretty smooth and kind of relaxing, whereas with a lot of cruise lines, it's really kind of chaotic.

The best thing about having a balcony is the sail away from the privacy of your room.

I've cruised, it's my third Virgin cruise. I've cruised Scarlet Lady now twice, Valiant Lady, and it's a little bit small.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Don't be late for Virgin boarding; you must be in the building by 4:30 PM or you won't be allowed to board.
โœ“For Virgin cruises, schedule tattoo appointments in person as soon as they open to plan for the end of your cruise.
โœ“Order at least $10 in paid items for room service to waive the $10 delivery fee.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Miami travel days always keep you on your toes! We spent the night at the Hilton Blue Lagoon Miami, a top pick for many cruisers thanks to its convenient location near both the airport and the cruise port, although I don't know if I agree with all the love it gets. Our trusted private driver, Hector (hands-down the best in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale cruise areas), picked us up and got us moving. Virginโ€™s boarding process is smooth and quiet as always, and we didn't have to wait long to embark. Take a first look at the ship, the cabin, and the vibe as we get ready to sail on Scarlet Lady, including the PJ Party... with a holiday twist. Follow along as we enjoy the first impressions of Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady. And up next... a sea day, VV style! **Hilton Blue Lagoon Miami: https://expedia.stay22.com/melissanewmanconsultingcreatives/amclkl42yr **My FREE Miami Port Guide: https://www.profmelissa.com/blog/miami ** Book Hector: https://profmel.com/drivers Watch this entire vlog series: * Episode 2: Virgin Voyages Dining Review: https://youtu.be/n1XOlam6PLk * Episode 3: Cruise Chaos in Puerto Plata: https://youtu.be/2H4cE1HW8qU * Episode 4: Scarlet Lady Sea Day: https://youtu.be/xbep2wlrqBE * Episode 5: Miami Port Debarkation: https://youtu.be/lUDsVOiI6D0 ----------------------------------------------- LINKS ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Get my Travel Insurance Guide for Cruisers: https://profmel.com/insurance ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Shop my favorite cruise outfits and essentials: https://profmel.com/shop ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Want to become a travel agent? https://www.profmelissa.com/travelagent ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Get my top recommended travel card: http://www.profmel.com/card ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Want to book a cruise or take a cruise with me? https://profmel.com/book ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Grab my FREE Cruise Packing List & Planner: https://profmel.com/subscribe ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Want to book my favorite private drivers? http://www.profmel.com/drivers ------------------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH ME TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@professormelissa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ProfMelissaCruises/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professormelissa ------------------------------------------------- Please note that sometimes, my posts contain affiliate links.
