Scarlet Lady Cruise Reviews - Reviews

My wife has tried for years to get me to go on a cruise but having made my living at sea it was a tough sell. I chose this cruise partly because I was familiar with several of the ports and some were on my wife’s wish list. Our kids are grown so “adults only” was a factor as well. We traveled with 2 other couples, one booked a Rock Star cabin, and we were all very happy with the ship and ports.

Fantastic cruise all the way!! Even missing the Marina de Carrara stop...Virgin Voyages made up for it!

We would definitely travel with Virgin the next time. The app wasn't accessible outside of ship wifi once the cruise commenced, and this was challenging. Fix this and refine the shore "things" and this will be an A+. Food was spectacular.

I think that this cruise is totally worth the price if you are looking for a quick and easy getaway to some beautiful beaches for general fun-in-the-sun. From what I could tell touring the ship and making friends with my fellow sailors, there is little reason to buy into the suites. I may change my mind if I ever get to experience the rooms on a day-to-day basis. But, they didn't particularly look or feel like they had any features that warranted the exorbitant pricing. The Sea Terrace rooms were amazing compared to the standard cabins by comparison and were totally worth the premium. Do not invest too much energy into Cozumel and save it for Bimini and the boat. You will really enjoy this cruise if you are a couple and make all of your dinner reservations ahead of time. I do not recommend booking more than one dinner a night, and I recommend that you schedule your dinners between 6-8 PM. 6 PM at the earliest and 8PM at the latest. Gunbae, Razzle Dazzle, and The Wake are the best restaurants. The Wake was especially good for late-night dining. A Splash of Romance is the best deal on the cruise, and I likely would have had a significantly worse embarkation experience if I had not bought this package. The early queue alone was worth the money. I appreciated the free champagne and the snacks they provided on the 3rd and 4th days, but the best part was skipping the line (for the most part). I think Virgin should make the complimentary drinks that come with the Splash of Romance package valid for the Smoothies, too. I didn't end up having any of the juices, because I was disinterested with them when compared to the smoothie options. We used the gym every morning and I would have done without paying 20 bucks a day for those drinks when the juice options paled in comparison. I'd also like it if those drinks could be themed for the fitness community in some fashion. Instead of being protein-adjacent with certain fruits and ingredients like bananas and peanut butter, they could have done with some options that utilized whey protein

Perfect size cabin for us. Just wish we could've gotten the cabin cooler at night.

Fabulous trip - would do it again but I doubt the deal we got on this one will happen again!

Was a wonderful vacation. Wished it was longer, we originally had booked an 8 day on the Valient Lady, but Virgin cancelled it and this was the only VIRGIN option we really had.

Their app doesn't work and kept crashing which is required to be able to book dinner and shows. The staff said it always crashes and they haven't fixed it. Dance shows were kind of weird, and we expected a little weird. But the biggest worst issue is they went through a storm and I thought we were going to die, no announcement, no notification, just a night of hell thinking you're going to die.

If you were looking for a vacation, that includes excitement and relaxation, I would advise looking elsewhere. Virgin Cruise is very high energy. Many people seem to enjoy this, just set your expectations.

Everything was great. Food, entertainment, service, cabin and itinerary.

We went from Miami to Key West and the Bahamas. We had a blast at Bayside in Miami. We stayed at the Hilton and watched the world's largest ship come in to the port for the first time the morning of our cruise. The music was blasting and shaking our windows. Virgin was an amazing experience. I loved everything except the shows that we saw. The music and dancing were fun. The food and service were fantastic. Our room was unbelievable. I will only cruise with Virgin as a Rock star.

We loved the all inclusive adults only theme of Virgin Voyages. We loved it so much that we booked two more cruises with them over the next year! We can’t wait to try the other dining and entertainment options that we missed on this shorter sailing.

Not worth doing, sadly. I expected better food and more substantial drinks since I was paying $15 each. Beer and wine selection was very poor.

Bad weather so left after 1 day. Nothing else to add

I have been on many cruises and this stands alone. The experience was exceptional. From arriving to the port to returning, everyone was so kind and helpful. THE ONBOARD SHOPPING. OMG!!!! The designer bag collection, a lot vintage, was very well priced. The food and drinks exceed anything I have ever experienced on a cruise ship. This is truly a floating resort. They even have a seesaw!!!! I recommend to any and everybody.

Worst Cruise ever! Booked us on deck 5 with our friends….when we got there, they had us separated on deck 10 and 9! Deck 5 did not exist for cabins! 😡What a joke! Moved us next to each other after Midnight😡after we were already unpacked! The key bracelets they gave us were a joke! Key cards are definitely better! The shows were disgusting!😡could never get seats together in restaurants…had to wait for 45+ minutes to get seats for 4, even tho we had reservations! They were NOT accommodating at all! Had to sit on bar stools one time just so all 4 of us could sit together…would NEVER go on VIRGIN again! Best cruises are still VIKING!

Overall it's a great time with no kids onboard. Food was amazing, drinks are a hit or miss in the bigger "clubs" go to the bars along the ship 100% better. The bar tab is annoying to keep checking when you have a drinking/party group but also getting an unexpected sea day makes it even worse to manage your tab. Activities onboard are horrendous vs the shows were actually really great. Raunchy shows were hilarious and the performers and singers were mindblowing, some totally undiscovered artists.

It was not the best experience for us. The app was not good at all, entertainment was pretty mediocre, food and staff were very good.

Overall good time. Heavy reliance on APP and you have to seek out info. Food was good except Test Kitchen and @ Bimini beach. Loved Cara!

First time cruising. Brought too much stuff. Don't need water bottle in Bimini. Over packed. Laundry service is reasonable. 4 to wash, 5 wash and fold, 7 to wash, fold and press. 30 for a full bag of wash. Inside cabin is the way to go. If you want to look out at the sea you can go to multiple decks and look out.
