  • Welcome our penultimate Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady vlog!
    We survived Scarlet night and start our day off with some Ship Eats, this is Virgins Voyages Room Service. Ship Eats is complimentary but does have a delivery charge, however this is waived if you order a paid for item such as premium coffee or juice.
    After our Ship Eats, it was time to head to the Redemption Spa - "If your vacation isn't complete without the ultimate form of self-care, our spa will be your second home. Its Thermal Suite includes a mud room, salt room, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, and heated marble hammam benches - so many ways to reveal a new version of you. From the first quartz bed at sea to massages so good they'll make you question life itself (plus a myriad of rejuvenating treatments that will revitalize your body and soul), we call it Redemption for a reason." We paid $59 for our session and it was a really nice way to spend a few hours relaxing and recovering!
    After the spa, we make our way up to Richards Rooftop for some pre dinner drinks, before heading down to see Duel Reality. Produced by The 7 Fingers, this is a fast-paced retelling of Romeo and Juliet - with an elaborate circus twist. Watch as two groups grapple with the desire to rise above one another through graceful and death-defying acts.
    After a fabulous show, we head for our meal in Test Kitchen, designed for the boundary-pushing tastebuds onboard, the laboratory-like Test Kitchen is fantastic.
    As Valiant Lady had arrived in Ibiza, we thought it would be fun to head in to the Old Town for some drinks with new friends... before calling it a night!
    We hope you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow along as we bring you along on our first Virgin Voyages cruise, you experience all the bars, restaurants, entertainment - including the big party... Scarlet Night!
    We hope you find this vlog both fun and useful! Please look out for our other Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady videos.
    Our Valiant Lady cruise started in Barcelona and we cruised to Marseille, Cannes, Palma De Majorca and Ibiza, before returning to Barcelona.
    Thank you for Virgin Voyages for giving us the opportunity to sail with them and to bring you along on our Valiant Lady cruise. The cruise fare was complimentary and we received access to Richards Rooftop. All flights, hotel, transfers and onboard spending such as Bar Tab's was paid for by ourselves.

    🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys?
    We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us!
    We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails).
    We have sailed on Celebrity Cruises, P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.

    The more I watch you on Virgin cruises, the more I want to try it out. They do some great 5/6 night down here in Aus!

      Awww that’s great to hear, we really wanted to show how great of a time we had on there to help others, we find many dismiss Virgin Voyages straight away. We would recommend you give them a go!

    Such a brilliant vlog and authentic as always. Did you know that the Thermal Spa Pass is $39 on a port day? Even better value!!! Loved the Test Kitchen review, we haven’t had that menu so was great to see it! Just loving this series ❤️

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      Awww thank you 🙏 Yeah, it’s good value for a few hours of relaxing - needed after scarlet night 🤣 Ohh we really didn’t want mushroom or blue cheese so hoped it would be this menu 😋 Last episode next week ☹️ See you soon! 🥰

    Hi both,
    Fun time in Ibiza! Food looked good and surprising! Tastes.
    Thanks for showing .lost track of how many drinks 🍸

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah it was a fun time! The food really surprised us, so good!

    Absolutely loved it as always, done Mallorca twice but not done Ibiza it looks a really great island. Going back to the ship the food again looked terrific.
    Hopefully you will show us Luke’s Christmas Decorations again, and a glimpse of Honey, not seen her for ages.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      Ibiza was lovely, old town was very pretty👌🏻 the food on this cruise was fantastic we can see why people always mention virgin food.
      Hopefully we will have a Christmas video coming soon, it’s just been a bit manic lately but we’ll see what we can do! ❤️🎄

    We’re a bit scared of Test Kitchen, not sure we’ll be trying it…
    Would love to do an overnight in Ibiza, looks like you had so much fun!

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      Oh no need to be scared, it’s actually really good food! 😋

    I am dining in Test Kitchen on Tuesday during a special night on Resilient Lady in Sydney. Looks lik a mini Scarlett night. Off by 11 though and it's on school night. Looks a great ship to cruise on, though I don't have your stamina anymore.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      Have a fantastic evening onboard, sounds a great way to get a taster of the ship.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah this was a good menu. They had 2 different one while we were onboard and changed part way through.

    I wasn't able to sign up for your group cruise because I already had a month long vacation to Wales in motion. I can only afford one trip a year. I am looking forward to you planning another group cruise. I hope it is on Virgin.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  9 месяцев назад

      Ohhhh fabulous- hope you love our country! A few have said we should do one on virgin… one for 25 maybe!

    The cuisine looked superb! Do you enjoy cooking at home?

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад +1

      It really was delicious! Yeah, we don’t mind cooking at home, though it’s usually homely stuff - love a good roast

  • @ErrolJ
    @ErrolJ 10 месяцев назад

    The Test Kitchen looked great, just enough to enjoy the flavours but not stuff you full.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah, it was a good amount and tasty!

    Hi from the US - question please, Is a "winder" more akin to red licorice or a fruit roll up? Or just candy? Love learning about how different our slang/terms for items really can be across the pond.

    • @jsmith1071
      @jsmith1071 10 месяцев назад +2

      A ‘winder’ is a fruit roll up.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah it’s a fruit roll up 😀

    Which would you recommend the wine or cocktail pairing ?? thanks 🍷🍸

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      It’s difficult to say, what we did was the best way of you can, cocktail and wine and then share. Both very good!

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  10 месяцев назад

      Do you mean like the ones we do when we come back from a cruise to do q&a’s? We do want to do more of them but it’s just finding the time to fit them in 🤣

    • @colleencurley906
      @colleencurley906 10 месяцев назад
