  • 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). We paid for the cruise ourselves and this post is based on our honest opinions.  Related Virgin Voyages cruise articles:  Why book a Virgin Voyages Cruise Virgin Voyages Restaurants Guide – what restaurants are there and where to eat onboard The ultimate guide to Virgin Voyages activities on the ship/What to expect during Scarlet Night Port Guide and…

  • 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…

  • Why Book a Virgin Voyages Cruise

    Why Book a Virgin Voyages Cruise?

    It’s no secret we love cruising as a vacation option. We are in our 30s and have been on 3 cruises across two cruise lines as of this writing. However, our most notable and favorite cruise by far is with Virgin Voyages. Cruising is a newer travel option for us. Cruising is convenient since you feel at home while also visiting new countries and destinations at the same time.  You won’t need to unpack or worry about food options. How easy would it be if you were to wake up in a new port almost every single day? Here are our other cruise reviews/travel series that revolve around cruises In…
