We will be on the Valiant Lady this year for a New Year’s Cruise. Our first time on VV. We have only been on Carnival. We are super excited about no kids, no nickel and diming, the arcade, and the food! Parents not controlling their kids helped us to decide to try something different. We already think we will book another before we get of the ship. Thanks for the video!!! We are subscribing!
Thanks so much for covering Virgin, our favorite (7 cruises done, 4 more booked)! Many cruise vloggers seem to ignore Virgin, or worse, they criticize without having been onboard. Thanks for your entertaining and informative posts!
My pleasure Stacie and glad you liked the videos! It really is a great cruise line and I always have a blast there. Maybe I will see you there one day!
We booked our first VV cruise. We have been on 72 cruises but this is our first VV. My husband thinks we r too old for this cruise but I wanted to try the food.
Not at all Laura!!! You will see many people who are in the same boat! I even took my mom a few months back on April. Here is her review! (hint: not her cup of tea but she still had a good time) ruclips.net/video/76iDo7la_Qo/видео.html
I just disembarked the Scarlet Lady on Sunday and loved all these areas, especially the Dock!! What a great space. They hosted the splash of Romance cocktail hour in the Perch, with live music and champagne. I miss the ship already!! BTW Brandon, I played the same Donkey Kong game, and could not get off the first level, lol!
You're going to love her! She is different but she is a great ship once you get used to the layout and navigating. And the food, ugh! Bring your stretchy pants!
Thanks for this Brandon! My girlfriend and I will be sailing on the Valiant Lady June 2024 for a group cruise. It will be our first time on Virgin. I will continue to watch your Virgin content and of course...hit that "like" button.
@@TheWeekendCruiser You’re welcome! And thanks we are looking forward to Virgin. Two weeks after that, I will be going on Celebrity for the first time as well. It will be for my sister’s 50th on The Reflection.
After I left you this comment about going on The Reflection, which by the way will be a 4 day to Bimini and Coco Cay, I saw your other video about how this type of itinerary for Celebrity could become a more generic booze cruise. I hope not! I tried to convince my sister to take a longer sailing, but she wouldn’t go for it. We shall see…
@AronRoss72 the 4 nights are normally not a booze cruise. It's the 3 nights you have to watch out for! Just did celebrity summit last weekend for 4 nights Thurs to Monday and it was a snooze fest 🤣
@@TheWeekendCruiser Was it really? Hahaaa!! Well our Reflection sailing will be the week of July 1st to the 5th, so I’m expecting a busy cruise. I warned her about a holiday sailing. This will be my first time cruising on a holiday, which I usually avoid. And speaking of booze cruises, tomorrow we are going on the $200 million dollar renovated Carnival Radiance for my birthday…so boozing will be in full effect on that ship, and not by us since we hardly drink. It’s the 3 day and I already know it’s going to be a bit crazy. It’s all good though.
Thanks for all the tips....I'll be on the SL from April 21-May 5, 2024 for the 14 night transatlantic from Miami to Barcelona so I'll get to take advantage of all of these quiet areas during those two weeks!!
Jealous!!! I want to go back!! Though, that is the weekend of the Weekend Cruiser Group Cruise!!! Hoping I can plan a group cruise on Virgin Voyages next year as I am shocked how many people are willingo to try it out with me!

We are booked on Australia and New Zealand in March, spring transatlantic and fall transatlantic on Scarlet. Hope to see you there!
I wish I could make those Stacie!! It would take me the entire weekend just to fly there! @@staciebrooks1328 🤣
Then, you will be The Weekend Flyer! Have a great fall and winter. Happy cruising.
Noted. Thanks! I'll try to remember these when and if I intersect with VV.
So true about the outside Galley area! I found it early on my cruise and loved it out there.
My favorite!! Don't know why more people dont' use it!
@@TheWeekendCruiser don’t tell everyone!! 🤣🤣

haha that game and me did not get along either! Glad it was free because it took several games just to figure it out!
I had no idea about the arcade. Thank you!!
Right?!?! It is a great secret!
Thanks for these tips ! We are doing Resilient Lady in December here in Australia. So excited to have such a great new ship downunder
You're going to love her! She is different but she is a great ship once you get used to the layout and navigating. And the food, ugh! Bring your stretchy pants!
Great video, i was wondering where the best areas to see sunrise/sunset. Good info! Thanks!
Deck 15 aft by the Galley all day long!! Some amazing pictures and they have coffee nearby!
...and I found the Perch on the LAST DAY!! (Wish I'd found it MUCH sooner)
hahaha it is extremally hidden! Glad you found it though! If you want to get away from the crowds, it is an amazing spot.
This was super informative

14 nights?!?!? You are living the dream!!
Nov 1st, Scarlet Lady!!!
Same here!!

Is the Poke Bowl spot open on embarkation day?
I honestly can't remember. I am never able to board early enough to grab food!
I leave on my cruise in 30 mins. Spoilers, please? 🤣
Haha try not to have too good of a time!! And watch video coming out later today on less appreciated areas of the ship! 😜
@@TheWeekendCruiser I feel equipped and enabled thanks to you, Brandon 🥂
The arcade looks cool!
