The salt dispenser is a relic from over 100 years ago..they were called salt cellars or open salts. They were common before salt shakers for use with authentic salt prior to the addition of anticaking agents. They were made of crystal, cut glass or sterling silver. Over 5000 different ones were produced. I have over 300 of them. What a blast from the past!!!

Individual sterling silver salt “cellars” with the spoons, and mini pepper shakers were the best part of eating dinners at my grandparents’ home in Pennsylvania. I think they originally came from my great-grandparents, so probably made in the late 1800’s. Wish I had inherited them!

The rooms do look cramped and pokey BUT we need to remember what other cruise lines squeeze in to start with, I do think I prefer the RCCL style rooms for functionality but I wouldn’t say no to a short cruise to Virgin and I think that’s what they are really designed for, correct me if I am wrong though. Love the changes they ga be made to the room, they look so much warmer and more inviting, they did look a little clinical at first!

It's such a comfy bed too! However, with 2 friends sharing and wanting to have their own bed space, as it were, its an odd set up to have either your heads close, or your feet in the others face. Thankfully the friend I share with is short. We also like the sofa/single bed setting as it gave us more space at all times. On Scarlet Lady we had the XL Terrace Room, and it was worth the bit extra because the bathroom was so much bigger. The hammock was the biggest surprise, as i thought it was a bit of a gimmick, but it was SO comfortable and i spent so much time in it reading. Looking forward to going on Valiant Lady in July round the med. Fingers crossed there are maybe a few more things other than fitness during the day. The ships are gorgeous and more intimate, whilst the food is the best on any cruise line.

I went on Scarlet lady the first time 2 summers ago, had a great time. Very nice ship. Went on Valiant lady this past year. The food wasn't as good, which is nice, bc I didn't eat that much, but the ship seemed pretty aged and the shows all being the same on all the ships limits how much you can enjoy them. I wish they would change that about the cruise line so you don't get stuck seeming the same things on all the ships.
