Sail date: February 04, 2022

Ship: Scarlet Lady

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 2 years ago

Review summary

We’ve done both cruises that Virgin offer out of Miami and we do not plan on coming back. The entertainment is lacking “for us” and unless you spend tons of money and upgrade to a larger room the Sea Terrace bathroom is ridiculously tiny!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Everything went smoothly but no matter when you arrive you do not get on the ship until beginning at 2 o’clock.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I had a couple experiences where we were charged things that we didn’t purchase. So keep an eye on your wallet in the app.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The pools are very small and seem to be taken up early by groups that don’t move much. Very little to do through the morning and afternoon except for exercise classes and a few of charge events.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
We like all different kinds of music, but the ship mostly plays club music, 24/7! They don’t have much variety in their stage shows. We were on in October and again in February and it was pretty much the same.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff we encountered was wonderful!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The cleanliness was fabulous, the design of the ship Is smaller venues. I don’t know how this will work when they get back to full capacity and they need more signage to help you find the venues.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
We had a C Terrace and the bathroom is unbelievably small! Think RV size, the useable floor space was about 3‘ x 4‘ at most. For that alone we will not be back!
