Just booked a 15 day transatlantic on Virgin Scarlet Lady in October ... for $85 pd pp which includes gratuities, wifi, and non-alcoholic beverages. That is about half the price of the transpacific cruise we were booked on Discovery princess. The food looks really good and has good variety. It will be a nice change from Celebrity and HAL in 2024.

Great review. Extra Virgin and Pink Agave were my favorites. Loved the salt crusted Dorade and clam chowder at the Wake, gnocchi and sea bass at EV, steak and shrimp at Pink Agave, short rib pastrami at Razzle Dazzle, and shrimp at the Dock.

Hey, Zach...I am happy to report I just disembarked from Valiant Lady yesterday. My first cruise, ever, and I am totally smitten! I tried all the main restaurants except Test Kitchen as I knew that wouldn't be for me. You and I had several favorites alike: the ribeye at Pink Agave was phenomenal, as well as the corn. I loved the soft shell crab benedict and the filet (steak and eggs) at the Wake for brunch. Like you, I wasn't that fond of the calamari at EV; the breading was yummy but I found the fish a little chewy. I got the braised pork cheek there and it was SO good! I loved Gunbae so much! My experience was different from yours, though, as the server, Future, moved along the dinner quickly...it was all so very good and lots of fun. I also enjoyed all the cocktails I had on the ship...top quality and very tasty. I can't wait to return to Virgin! My bucket list is to go on all four ships even though I understand they are all very similar. I loved every minute of my VV sailing! Thanks for the review...🙂

Look elsewhere for a more informed review. The review of Test Kitchen made it exceptionally clear that this reviewer does not have the experience, palette or knowledge to usefully educate viewers about culinary topics.

Thanks Zach! We appreciate your videos and we're convinced that your tastes and views of food align to ours, so it's intriguing that you have a positive view of Virgin's food offerings. That said, we really love Celebrity's wine offerings and pairings with food and to be honest, realistically, we consider ourselves very happy and loyal to Celebrity (Lawn / Rooftop Grill and Eden... :-) ). That said, is Virgin's wine offerings basically "pay as you play" and do they have any sommelier / wine pairing capability? Keep up the great work!
@ZachtheTravelingMan
@ZachtheTravelingMan 8 ай бұрын
The wine and all drinks are pay as you go. They really don’t have any drink packages, you can only pre purchase “bar tab” credit. They didn’t have any sommelier that I was aware of, the waiter usually took care of all of that.

I have always enjoyed your videos, however since the Margaritaville I must admit I have lost confidence in your ratings , because I don’t understand which ratings are yours and which have been bought🤷‍♂️
@ZachtheTravelingMan
@ZachtheTravelingMan 8 ай бұрын
None of my ratings have been bought. Just because I was invited on a cruise to create content on that brand does not mean I was paid to say anything. I’ve never altered my opinions or ratings for anyone and always let whoever I’m collaborating with know that up front. Just because I sailed a brand others wouldn’t want to go on doesn’t mean my opinions of that brand are somehow not valid. It is extremely unfair to me to assert otherwise. Was your experience on Margaritaville so much worse than mine or something?

Surprised at your comments for Gunbae. Each to their own I guess. I’ve done a few Virgin sailings and usually skip Gunbae as I think the food is really bad in there. The worst restaurant onboard for me.

You keep talking about the restaurants NOT being speciality dining, as there is no apparent extra charge. But when you consider the price of a Virgin cruise compared to other cruise lines, they just build the charge into the fare. Looking at prices for a cruise in April 25, Virgin prices are double or even triple a Celebrity cruise (on their newest ships) and Celebrity cruises are longer (7 or 10 days vs 5 on Virgin).

You're really missing out, unless a diverse and inclusive cruise line makes you uncomfortable. Not trying to be divisive at all. That's certainly a personal decision. But we're a couple in our late 50s/early 60s and we are hooked on VV.
