Thank you for this! We leave in 25 days and this was so informative. Question - scarlet night dance party is my nightmare. What other scarlet night activities do people recommend?
@love4allpplz1
@love4allpplz1 6 күн бұрын
Down on the lower decks in the atrium area, they perform acrobatics and live music, much less chill than the dance party on the top pool deck.

Biggest drawback is attempting to get a reservation. The wake was impossible to get the entire 6 days we were on board. Same with agave and extra. Razzle Dazzle was easy and the snapper and lamb shank were out of this world.

I don't know why I'd even consider a cruise but I do lol. I'd be open to other cruise lines also, not just Virgin. Any suggestions for someone like me. Oh yeah, I'd most likely be leaving from Florida. Great video btw. Thanks

For tip #1, you can also have the primary traveler set up to "foot the bill" of the secondary traveler (on the app). Secondary person will have to sign in and add the primary person as the one who is paying for them and the primary person will have to "accept" to foot the secondary person's bill, but it can be set up this way.

I’m not sure the hours of the spa but that could be something relaxing for peace and quiet, but try that at some point of your trip. At least on the scarlet lady by the pizzeria the outdoor portion was generally quiet and more of a chill vibe at night. There’s also karaoke and other group games that don’t involve alcohol to participate in but check your app throughout the trip incase they change.

@@elizabethconnnor We considered the spa but it was way overpriced. Also when I did drink i found out that all bars don't carry the same beer, so needless to say an area that I might have enjoyed I couldn't because they didn't have the beer I liked. Overall I wasn't really impressed with this cruise line. Food was sub par, parties were so overcrowded and was difficult to get a drink. I think if i cruise again it wouldn't be with this line.

2024 Pro-tip out of Miami- u actually can arrive early to the port bc they will check in ypur luggage & then u can hop on their free shuttle to Bayside shop area in Miami which is awesome to kill time. The rest of your tips are EXCELLENT. Best video ive seen for Virgin tips esp getting the required safety video out of the way 1st thing in your cabin. Our fav shows in sept '24 were Miss Behave & Diva Around the World. Fun tip: Pink Agaves steak is a rib eye. Extra Virgin's steak is a NY Strip. The Wake's steaks are a choice be a hangar steak, a NY Strip or a filet mignon. For a lot of extra $, you can get their huge Tomahawk steak option but we loved Extra Virgin's strip steak best just like you two.

I was on scarlet lady ship 2 weeks ago. Great experience, but yes, there is a lot they don't tell you. There is no more air hockey. And all the board games are missing pieces or the board. Some of the signs they have on decks by elevator are wrong. Oh and they say the Galley is 24 hours but not true. It becomes for the crew after 1am. They only have omelets and cookies there at that time for you.
