Review summary

Enjoyed ourselves a lot. It was nice to not feel like we had to do something every minute of the day. The vibe of the ship is laid back and easy going. This was by far the best cruise I’ve been on. Looking forward to our next one.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation went very smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was very good. Be sure to do the Test Kitchen if you’re a foodie. Food at the Galley was ok, but the fries were some of the best I’ve had on a ship.

Pink Agave

2 out of 5

Venue is very dark and food is blah. Tables are very close and it is loud.

Lick Me Till...Ice Cream

Be sure to try the brown butter ice cream.

Ship tip

Be prepared to be surprised. Scarlet Lady is not your standard ship and Virgin Voyages is changing the cruise industry for the good.

Fantastic time

Virgin Scarlet Lady was hand down the best ship I have ever been on! Our room was amazing!The staff was so good! And the food!Wow the food was beyond! We did the 4 night cruise and we booked an 8 night for next year!!!

Pros- Overall beautiful ship and great food! The staff was friendly. Cons-bathroom in the cabins were small, the app periodically crashes and had to be reinstalled. I wish there was a drink package because the drinks were not cheap.
