Creator's Key Takeaways

I was one of the few fortunate people to spend time and actually get to stay on their first ship, Scarlet Lady, before lockdown.

It's new and untried, which will inevitably mean some or many things will not work.

One of the key appeals for me anyway is they are adults only. You have to be over 18.

The swimming pool is ridiculously small, but the fitness office and gyms are massive and extensive.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare total costs carefully, as fares include many amenities.
Sign up for emails for deals and offers.
Consider the pool size if you enjoy swimming.

New and untried lineConsider the risk and adventure; it may appeal if you're adventurous.
No main dining roomIf you like formality, this line may not be for you; you must choose and book different venues each night.
Adults-only policyMust be over 18; those 18-20 need an adult over 21.

YouTube Video Description

Many people have ask me if they should consider cruising on the new Virgin Voyages cruise line. They launched at the worst time possible, just as the pandemic started to sweep across the world. However, I was one of the few fortunate people to spend time and actually get to stay on their first ship, Scarlet Lady, before lockdown. I want to share with you what I discovered, and what you need to think about before you even consider booking a cruise on this line, including if one of the big design flaws could mean they are a no-go for you. I also reveal if I decided to book, and why.
