Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our second time cruising with Virgin. The first time we were on Scarlet Lady, and this time we're trying Valiant.

The bathroom is disrespectful... Look how tiny this is.

We had a great time. It was raining. We thought it was canceled but it ended up not being canceled and the rain actually enhanced our experience.

I would definitely rate my personal experience I would say about eight... I'm still wanting to see the Scarlet Night full experience held outside.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early at the terminal to check in and use the complimentary shuttle to explore Miami.
Request a mattress topper from your cabin steward if the bed is too hard.
Bring cash for ports, as some places don't accept credit cards or American Express.
Use sailor loot or bar tab for drinks and excursions, as they are valuable onboard credits.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Join us as we board Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady for an adult only cruise experience. This beautiful vessel mirrors the size and capacity of her sister ship, the Scarlet Lady. We boarded from the port of Miami for a 5 night Dominican Daze cruise. We've sailed with Virgin Voyages in the past, had mixed reviews, and thought we'd give them another try. Was our experience better the second time around? Keep watching to find out. In this video, we provide a brief tour of our Sea Terrace cabin, experience the muster drill process, and try out the pizza. Later, we attend the sailaway party, have dinner at Pink Agave, and we bring you along for the adult pajama party. Be sure to stay tuned for more content aboard this beautiful vessel! @VirginVoyages #virginvoyages #travel #cruise #youtube
