Hello Happy Travelers!
Ahoy Mates! Welcome onboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady! This is Virgin Voyages first ever cruise ship! Virgin Record’s Richard Branson had a new vision for the cruise industry and the Scarlet Lady is the flagship vessel of that vision. Sailing on Virgin Voyages will be a very unique experience compared to other cruise lines’ sailings. This is an adult only cruise line that offers many non-traditional inclusions and concepts. Included in your cruise fare price are gratuities, basic wi-fi, all dining venues, and non-alcoholic beverages (such as soft drinks). The ship and crew are committed to nautical theming and creating a fun adult-friendly atmosphere!
Today we are in Port Miami Florida boarding Scarlet Lady, Virgin Voyages first ever cruise ship! The boarding process was definitely strenuous, but once onboard, we had a great time! We had our most memorable safety briefing to date, a beautiful night time sail away, and some great night aesthetic! In today's video, we cover a lot of important dining information! There is not a main dining room or buffet onboard. Instead, there are restaurants and the Galley (which is an alternative to a buffet) all included in your cruise fare! Tonight we ate at Gunbae, which is Korean BBQ cuisine cooked at your table, and it was delicious! We also talk about our first impressions so far in terms of the amount of partying happening on the ship.
We hope this was helpful and fun for you! If you are interested in planing your own cruise vacation, we would love to assist you! As travel agents, our services are free to our clients, and we are here to help you with the planning and booking process! Please contact us via the travel agent information located below!

OMG I Can't stop laughing at the safety drill video 🤣 😂 😆
Right!? It was a hoot! Definitely nothing like we have never seen before! 🤣🤣🤣
Ooo, those desserts and candy in doggy bags looked amazing! Sign me up for the cereal bars!
Hi Cruising with Kids! That candy station was a dream come true for me! 🤣 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
We’re going in august I’m so excited!!!
Hi Mercedes91! Yay! That's awesome! 🤩 We hope you have the best time! Happy Travels! 🤗❤️🛳
Boarding at the terminal doesn't look organized at all. Do they have board times? Or everyone just shows up whenever?
RC's terminal in Miami was flawless
Hi WCH! Thanks for watching!
They do have assigned boarding/arrival times. Apparently, it’s gotten a lot better since we went, so hopefully that continues in the future! 😁
Happy Travels!
I justgot off Carnival Paradise we had no waiting time day before Covid test.
You two are so much fun to watch! Love this ship! And free candy????? WHAAAAATTTT?? 👍 Looking forward to the rest of this series.
Hi Pam! We're so glad you're enjoying the videos! The free candy was definitely a nightly stop before heading back to the room for the night 😂🍬 It was so good! 😋 Thank you so much for watching and for your kindness! We hope you enjoy the rest of the series! 🤗❤️🛳
I’ve been waiting for this! So excited to see how you enjoyed your experience on Virgin!! Let’s go🥰!!!
Hi Lacrecia! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! 😁
Happy Travels!
Enjoyed your boarding Virgin Scarlet Lady and you both have definitely made the best of your first long day. I suspected the ship is very different from the other cruise lines. JJ Cruise also had a detailed review (Jordan was not a big fan lol and they both found it an experience indeed)and I already know that it wouldn’t be my first pick before sailing a Royal Caribbean Oasis class ship🛳🙏👍. Looking forward to following your adventure but very happy you are finding perks onboard and in the room to. Korean BBQ looked delish😋. Feeling the Disney vibe will be more suited to the Hoffmans…..really excited for you both and will virtually enjoy your upcoming Disney adventure from our cold beautiful city Montreal 🇨🇦🥳
Hi Annie! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it!
Yes, we are SUPER excited for our Very Merrytime Cruise! 🎄🎅🤶🚢🐭
Happy Travels!
Chelsy: *Points at Ryan’s picture* “Seeeeee!”

Hi Will! Thanks for watching!
It was beautiful! 😁
Happy Travels!

🤣🤣🤣
Happy Travels!

Hi Ramon! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it!
We had a great time! 😁
Happy Travels!
Chelsy cracks me up, you guys would be so much fun to cruise with.
Haha! Thanks andy 70D! Hopefully one day our cruising paths will cross! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
My first video on Gunbae waiters was funny Virgin encourage interaction with crew.
The Korean BBQ experience looks fairly authentic. I'm pleasantly surprised. I like the fact that they cook for you. Usually you cook uour own food at Korean restaurants. 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Cloud7 Travel! Thanks for watching! 😁
Happy Travels!!
My favorite ship!
The little side dishes are called "banchan" and are very traditional with Korean BBQ. Looks amazing 😋
Hi Matt and Chelsey. Will Virgin Voyages allow you to take the Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Rapid Antigen home test or are you only allowed to take their rapid Antigen test at the Pier???
Hi Clarence! Thanks for watching!
Every passenger must do the test at the terminal. 😁
Happy Travels!
What happens if the ship loses its wifi? How do you get in the cabin? I’m sure there’s an alternative??? I’m not to keen on Virgin Voyage! Good review though!!
Hi Katrina! Thanks for watching!
The cabin doors operate based on RFID, not WiFi, so no worries there. We just said WiFi symbol, because that’s what it looked like. 😁
Happy Travels!
Happy thanksgiving, Matt and Chelsy🦃🦃
Hi Dark Theme! Thanks for watching!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! 🦃 🍁 🥧🏈
I never left dock at night kool
So glad to see a true review video on Scarlet Lady. The Korean BBQ is a bit disappointed. It's Korea BBQ served in Hibachi style, not I expected.
Hi xplorefurther! Thanks for watching! 😁
Happy Travels!
Oh my goodness, I had not seen the candy at the Social Club area in previous reviews, that would be so dangerous because I would basically live at the free candy shop.
Hi Lou! Thanks for watching!
Yes, candy for days! 😁
Happy Travels!
So they didn't take your bags?
Hi Necol! Thanks for watching!
We just carried them on ourselves, since we knew the rooms would be ready at that time. 😁
Happy Travels!
Im sub to few people that do travel say how good Virgian is 🎉and say looking for get away two people for anniversary or trip each other as adults its way worth it. I keep eye site for deals. ❤
I like your intro song!
Hi Captain Maurice! Thanks for watching!
We love it too! 😁
Happy Travels!
6:50 - this is not true! Not every XLT have a hammock starting Deck 12 and up front of 338A/Z and on will not have a hammock because of the ship bow.
The "WiFi" symbol is actually the RFID symbol! Hope you enjoy the cruise 😊
Hi Cayla! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, we know, haha! We just said WiFi because that’s what most people would recognize it as. We had a great time, thanks! 😁
Happy Travels!
Peter griffin and Lois go on a cruise! She looks like Lois a lot.. you not so much like Peter but y'all seem cool.. thumbs up
Haha! Thanks for watching Jon! 🤗❤️🛳
The size of the pool really doesn't sit well with me.
Hi Scott! It is pretty small, definitely one of the most frequent complaints about the ship. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
I'm going for candy 🍬
Ooo- sounds very scandalous I’m bored-I am intrigued 😝
Hi Parrysh! Thanks for watching!
🤣🤣🤣
Happy Travels!
I have such mixed feelings about this ship and cruise line based on the several vlogs I've seen as well as Instagram posts from a travel agent friend. Matt, the look on your face during the safety video pretty much sums up how I feel. It seems like this is a ship for people with an overwhelming need to prove how cool they are. Thing is, I know I'm not cool and really don't care.
I have a group of friends who occasionally do a cruise together, and while I think Virgin Voyages might be fun for one of our shipboard get-togethers, I doubt I'd enjoy it on my own. I would adore that Korean place, though. Looking forward to the rest of your trip and hoping my opinion of the ship will improve.
Hi Jan! Thanks for watching!
We get it! It’s definitely a different experience, but there are several components that they do amazingly well. 😁
Happy Travels!
"It seems like this is a ship for people with an overwhelming need to prove how cool they are. " This is such a wildly depressing way to to look at this kind of ship, holy crap. You dont sound that fun at parties.
I herd one had to be 18+ to board the ship.
Hi Louis! That is correct! This ship is adults only! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
That ship is too weird for me!! I saw JJCruise review on it and it’s a NO for me. Royal Caribbean for me and my family!!!
I don't like "BLACK WALLS and BLACK ROOF" in the Casino!! Very sad and drab!! I'm not a Bat going to my "BatBat Cave."
Hi Clarence! Thanks for watching!
🤣🤣🤣
Happy Travels!
