lol no Tub! Fab shower though! They could have made that room even better by having a hot tub on the balcony! There was certainly room for it.... I guess the hot tubs are for the Mega Rockstars!

The Suites on Scarlet Lady are awesome, check out our Mega Rock Star Suite, certainly the biggest we have had on any ship. Plus the assistance of our Roadie made it a very special cruise.

Wow - great video thanks!

 

We are in a Brilliant Suite - how does the "Rock Star Suite" room bar work and how do we choose what we want and let them know? Also what mixers do they make available? - I love a Black Label and Ginger Ale (not ginger beer!) and SWMBO is a Bacardi and Coke girl!

I really enjoyed your video and can’t wait to see the others. After 4 moves we are finally on an April sailing in a cheeky corner suite.

I'd love to hear this stuff too.  We have a massive suite booked but it's really kind of vague how rockstar we are gonna be...

Only the two Massive Suites had private hot-tub. Other Mega Rockstars had two hot tubs in Richard's Rooftop and a couple two-person sized hot tubs in the spa.

The Mega-Rockstar Gorgeous Suite came with about a dozen different bottles as pictured below. The fridge was also filled with a selection of beer and soft drinks. The room also had all the cocktail making equipment (two drawers of it), and we were told we could have whatever drinks was required to make our desired cocktails. There was an in-app Room Service, with no delivery charges applied for Rockstars, and that menu listed a few cocktails on it. 



Our Rockstar agent Eugine was brill, every request we sent his way was fulfilled. Even a niche request that he probably never expected to have, and will probably never get again (unless he's our Rockstar agent next time, that is)

Balcony, the only issue was when the wind picked up, the hammock would strike the edge of the balcony making a clunk noise every time it did so, and we couldn't see a way of securing it. You can feel a little of the wind from the deck-chairs, but we didn't have a problem with it. 

We didn't utilise the transfers as there was a limit of 50 miles, as as we were coming from more than 50 miles away, we decided to drive all the way instead. It would have been nice if Virgin gave you free parking at the port as an alternative to the private transfer, parking was only £25 after all and it would have been a nice gesture, but no indication of that. Maybe if we asked...

Check-in: For the Covid-19, when we arrived in Portsmouth P+R, we got an any-time pass (12.00pm to 5.30pm) so we went straight across to stage 2. There was no suggestion of a seperate queue for Rock-stars, so that was in same queue as others. When arriving at the terminal, contrary to what was suggested, we had to join the same queue as other sailors. There was what looked like a possible by-pass lane if they moved all the posters away, but that wasn't to be. There wasn't anything like lanyards or different looking bracelets to visually distinguish you as a Rockstar or MegaRockstar, it was only when they scanned your bracelet did the crew know you were rockstars, so it would be hard for shore-side crew to direct you to private check-in areas prior to scanning you in (if there was any, that is!)
