We Tried Virgin Voyages… are the rumours TRUE?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Travel bloggers Christina and Stuart document their experience aboard the Virgin Scarlet Lady, a large, adults-only cruise ship. Moving away from their usual small luxury vessels, the creators explore the ship's modern, urban aesthetic and high-energy atmosphere. They cover various aspects of the voyage, including the dining options, such as the Italian restaurant Extra Virgin and the experimental Test Kitchen, as well as the ship's amenities like the impressive gym and the private Rockstar suite areas. The creators also highlight the social environment, noting the inclusive atmosphere and the frequent themed parties like Scarlet Night. While they praise the exceptional service from the crew and the quality of the food, they conclude that the non-stop party vibe and the ship's design do not align with their personal preference for more sedate, traditional cruising. Despite deciding they would not book this specific style of cruise again, they recommend it to travelers seeking a lively, modern, and social experience.
