Creator's Key Takeaways

i was invited to try out virgin cruise lines and they were supposed to launch in uh march of 2020

the food they tout themselves as being no buffets right that's a little bit of a stretch as far as what they call the galley

the crew on the ship is the happiest crew i think i've ever seen besides about two other cruise lines

i thought the food was amazing i did something called the test kitchen you have you don't order at all they bring you six different courses

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book early for rock star level as suites sell out fast
โœ“Use the iPad in stateroom for muster drill and room controls
โœ“Try the test kitchen for a unique dining experience

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Real Travel Expert Shari Marsh joins Ken for a review of Shari's first cruise aboard Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady. Shari is pleasantly surprised to discover some of the unique aspects of this cruise line and their approach to the industry. Shari details the pros and cons of the stateroom, ship and her amenities. Of particular note is the dining, with seven high end dining venues: they are some of the best at sea according to Shari. Entertainment ranges from cruise line standard to edgy. Shari discusses the atmosphere on board and the types of guests Virgin is looking to attract versus the actual guests on board. Looking for a more active younger clientele, the ship boasts perhaps the finest fitness programs and equipment found at sea. Shari gives an honest review of her stateroom and has advice for guests looking to upgrade to a suite. Another pleasant surprise is Virgin's private beach. And finally Shari wraps up with a shout out to Virgin for the best, most entertaining, Muster Drill program she has ever experienced.
