We booked this cruise since it was all adult. It was a spur of the moment thing so booked about 4 weeks before departure. I wished we had booked earlier to do our research to help prepare us for the trip. We read plenty of reviews and they were all good/bad. When we booked our cruise online our trip was canceled due to credit card denied. We contacted the bank and the cruise line had entered ...
Heard about the adult sailing and wanted to experience it. Absolutely loved the climate, staff, shows and food!!
The only drawback was exiting and embarking the ship during excursions; because I am using a mobile adult scooter I encountered difficulties due to the steep incline at the end of the ramps. Please make this transition from ship to land a bit less difficult and I would be most ...
We chose VV because they are new and adults only so we decided to try it, we like trying new cruise lines to experience something new and compare to other cruise lines we've sailed with. We were kind of disappointed with VV. Embarkation and Debarkation were very smooth which was nice, the ship was nice and loved that it's a smart ship. However, the VV app was glitchy and frustrating at times and ...
I recently returned from a cruise on Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady and was a little disappointed. We did have a good time, but it was not great as all the hype videos we watched before the cruise. The no kids policy, embarkment, sail way champaign party, Scarlet Night, sea view terrace room with the hammock, and housekeeping staff were all excellent. However, the reservations for food and shows ...
It started out a little rough as the app is how you download your appointments for dining and shows; ALL of the dining for the main restaurants (6) were booked except for 8:30-9pm slots. When we called their help line, we were told, don't worry, when you get on the ship, they will open up another 50% of the time slots; that wasn't true as when we got on the ship, the girl booking slots said ...
I really enjoyed this style of cruising. We have tried many of the cruise lines and have narrowed down to two lines, this being one. This felt more like a resort than a cruise ship.
Embark/disembark = easy! Basically walked on and off without stopping or waiting in lines. We did fill out the docs on the app ahead of boarding, so just had to show the passport.
Spa = couldn’t make these ...
Had only cruised with RCI and NCL and we were looking forward to this adult-only cruise. We really liked the idea of specialty restaurant dining only, but there is also a downside to this. Unless you are a priority boarder or are fortunate enough to get in the app as soon as Virgin opens up dining reservations to the masses, you will be scrambling to get a reservation that is convenient for you ...
Went as a large group to celebrate a birthday. 5 days on the scarlet lady. Food was good not excellent. Drinks were good. The service was great. You can tell thr staff really loves working on the ship. I did notice some of the staff seemed to be tired at the end of the night but that's normal. The staff was young and friendly. I wish the restaurants were able to make more than one reservation per ...
This was my first real cruise and it was perfect! Departure out of Miami was surprisingly smooth and the views were great. We had one sea day which gave us plenty of time to explore the ship. I found FOTS to be not too big but not too small with plenty to do. The promenade is beautiful and I really enjoyed the theater productions. The pool deck was very crowded but that's to be expected, I guess. ...
Let me list the ways: 1)Embarkation: staterooms not "released" for occupancy until almost 3pm after we had endured a "red eye" flight across the country arranged by NCL, waited almost an hour for NCL transfer to ship, and had to kill 3 hours on ship with carry on luggage 2)Cabin had hair (not ours) in shower, on bath floor and on shower curtain when we checked in 3)cabins cleaned once a day I can ...
