What I Hated and What I Loved about Scarlet Lady

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a detailed review of the Scarlet Lady, a new ship from Virgin Voyages, weighing its aesthetic appeal against functional shortcomings. While praising the beautiful design and the friendly crew, the creator argues that the ship prioritizes style over cruising basics. Specific criticisms are directed at the cabin design, which lacks bedside tables, sufficient storage, and accessible power outlets. The creator also notes that the converting bed and the placement of the light switch within the closet are impractical. Additional concerns include the small size of the bathroom, the lack of accessibility in the tiny main swimming pool, and the cramped seating in dining areas which may pose challenges for larger passengers. Despite enjoying the inclusive dining options and the modern look of the public spaces, the creator concludes that the high price point is not justified by the overall quality. Ultimately, the reviewer decides that Virgin Voyages is not the right cruise line for them due to these functional issues.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I was so ready to fall in love with this ship and the Virgin brand unfortunately I came away more convinced than ever that virgin aren't a cruise line for me
the cabin for example has no storage there are no draws or cupboards anywhere in the cabin apart from in the closet by the door
I've been cruising since I was a child and I've been on 29 cruises today I've never seen such ridiculous placement of a light switch
all dining is included on virgin voyages which is fantastic there's over 20 places to eat on scarlet lady and there are loads of vegan options on their menu which I love
