Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady: Full Ship Tour & Honest Review
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
The food is the strongest reason to choose this ship. There's no main dining room, no assigned table, and no buffet line built around a tray of mismatched foods.
The specialty restaurants are included. The casual options are spread across several decks, and a seven night cruise gives you enough time to try nearly everything.
Honestly, it's pretty small for a ship carrying more than 2,000 people. On a port day, that isn't a major issue because most sailors are ashore.
The Virgin Voyages app is essential, but can be frustrating when it isn't cooperating.

Tour Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady deck by deck, including the restaurants, bars, pools, gyms, entertainment, casino, shops, spa and outdoor spaces across this adults-only cruise ship. We sailed Scarlet Lady on a 7-night Greek Island Glow cruise from Piraeus, with stops in Santorini, Rhodes, Bodrum and Mykonos, and this is our honest review of the ship. Scarlet Lady entered service in 2021 and received a major refresh in late 2024, so this tour shows the ship as we saw it in 2026.
