  • Guide to Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Restaurants

    Virgin Voyages Restaurants and Dining on Scarlet Lady

    Virgin Voyages is hands down the best cruise line we have ever cruised with. We may not be cruise experts, but this company definitely spoiled us for choice. Here is our ultimate guide of the Virgin Voyages restaurants based on our dining experience.  Note: This post is NOT sponsored (how I wish).

  • Virgin Voyages Shopping on Scarlet Lady

    Virgin Voyages Shopping on Scarlet Lady: What stores are onboard?

    Some people love going on cruises because of the shopping, and fear not, we are here to tell you all the shopping options available on Virgin Voyages, more specifically, the Scarlet Lady.  Virgin is not like other cruise lines that offer daily deals for shopping, with different  departments going on sale. Instead, the price you see is what you get all the time on the cruise. If you find an item you like, then go get it. If it’s sold out a few days later, the item may not get replenished until after your cruise.  This is a part of our Virgin Voyages post series. Our Virgin Voyages Cruise Series…
