YouTube Video Description↓

When Virgin Voyages first cruise ship Scarlet Lady started her cruises from Portsmouth, we thought that they were definitely not the cruise line for us. We are a married couple in our late 50's and this cruise line is definitely not targeted at our age group. They also made the bold statement that they would revolutionise cruising, which did intrigue us. The cruises were for only 4 nights and with the cruise line normally being based in the US, it was a rare opportunity. So we thought what have we got to lose, and booked it. Worse case scenario was that if we don't like it we just won't cruise with them again. In our first episode we experience embarkation the Virgin way and let you know our initial thoughts! Are we too old for Virgin? We cruised on the Scarlet Lady in August 2021. --------------------------------------------- Relevant Links - For Virgin Voyages Cruise Videos and Vlogs watch our playlist here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_6zC3nwhe71ELX2GKl7Zl1rv68QyBEYA Cruising Videos and Vlogs Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_6zC3nwhe70IK9QWQ-14QezjHmB_3BpT ------------------------------------------------ About Paul and Carole Love to Travel We are a married middle aged couple from Gloucester, England who share our tips, advice and experience on how you can choose the right cruise line, cruise ship snd cabin.
