Scarlet Lady is the new cruise ship for Virgin Voyages. She is VERY controversial and was always designed to be different. She certainly is that! I was able to spend some time onboard in Dover, UK and during the video I share everything that I hated and loved about Scarlet Lady and Virgin Voyages in general.
There’s certain things about this ship which I loved and others where I really think that Virgin has made massive mistakes.
Virgin specifically hired people who hadn’t worked in the cruise industry before to design the ship and this is REALLY obvious. The ship is beautiful, but in the pursuit of style some cruising basics have been completely left out.
I was SO ready to fall in love with the ship and the Virgin brand, unfortunately I came away more convinced than ever that Virgin aren’t the cruise line for me. I’m sure they are for somebody, but they aren’t for me.

UPDATES:
4000 passengers in incorrect. I should have said 4000 people (including the crew). Scarlet Lady can hold 2800 passengers and 1150 crew.
Virgin have informed me that they do have a disabled lift for the pool.
