Buckle up, folks, this is a long one...
On May 21, after much research and planning, we excitedly boarded the Scarlet Lady for what would be my 31st cruise and my boyfriend’s 16th cruise. As avid cruisers, we were quite excited to see for ourselves about the hype surrounding Virgin Voyages.
EMBARKATION:
Signs of trouble began at embarkation, when staff began letting everyone know that ...
If I could give this cruise 10 stars I would. This is our second time on Scarlet Lady and we brought my parents this time and plan to sail again in July with my two adult children and their girlriends. The ship is everything you could want and more. Amazing food, amazing entertainment, and and amazing ship.
We love Bimini Beach club and the ambience there.
We sail in RockStar suites and ...
We chose this cruise after having sailed Royal Caribbean and Carnival for many years, expecting a “higher end” cruise considering the price. We paid almost triple once it was all said and done, and received half the service as other cruise lines. The good: the cabins were a tad bit nicer than some, but it was minimal. They did offer specialty dining and the steakhouse was great. The port of call ...
We selected this cruise for our first Virgin Voyage experience after a review from a friend who sailed in December. We are experienced cruisers and decided to sail as Mega Rockstars in the Gorgeous Suite. Embarkation was a little delayed but not bad. We were escorted onto the ship as the first group, which was nice.
Service and communication was lacking throughout the cruise. There is a no ...
We choose this cruise line because friends highly recommended from previous cruising with your company, i would also highly recommend this cruise as well. rooms were amazing in size; excursions were lots of fun. just wish the horseback riding was available after they showed pictures and videos of the excursions. food was good not great. i was expecting a higher quality of food. every staff ...
Cruise Experience
I want to start by saying that I know this post will “dub” me as a “Karen” because anyone who isn’t satisfied with subpar service is now called that.
I have been going on cruises for 30 years and the last five were through NCL as an adult. My prior four experiences were okay. Not bad, not great. But you get what you pay for, so I always got what I expected. This was our ...
This ship was chosen as part of a Casinos at Sea offer - All previous cruises have been on Royal Caribbean.
Biggest disappointment was only one pool available for the majority of guests. Pool decks were extremely crowded. No personal space on pool decks. Loungers were side by side.
Only other options were hot/lukewarm tubs - which in temperatures > 80 degrees - not enticing and also ...
This cruise ship was horrible and the employees were worse. There were a few nice employees, but overall they were miserable. Twice my family heard employees say “ I hate my life!” We were then subjected a terrible storm that the Captain knowingly sailed us into. The ship flooded, bars collapsed, our room was in shambles with glass broken everywhere and it took staff OVER TWELVE HOURS to come ...
I’m going to start with the positive : the bartenders , they were really good and amazing cocktails , that’s it ,my great grandmas didn’t speak English and no one spoke Spanish for them ,the boarding process was long and annoying and when getting to port getting of the ship took 2 hours ,the cabin had 3 bed not 4 and one of us had to sleep on the tiniest, most uncomfortable couch ever, that’s the ...
I chose Virgin to cruise with for my birthday along with 7 other members of my family. The cruise was to the Dominican Republic and Bimini Island in the Bahamas. Even before the cruise we downloaded the app and half of us had trouble with the app from the beginning. You have to book your restaurant reservations on the app before you even cruise. You can't just go to restaurants there, everything ...
