We are excited to try VV...we were scheduled to be onboard your sailing, but decided to postpone until protocols return to 'no mask req'. It'll be interesting to see who's first...VV or X...winner will be getting our $$ first. Edited January 19, 2022 by bucfan2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverlaysup Posted January 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I saw Scarlet Lady in Nassau last week, she looks quite nice. Not sure if the crowd and the short itineraries are up to my liking but I may give her a try anyway. Curious as to what capacity she is sailing at right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Stag Posted January 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Here are some photos of when it was parked near us at Costa Maya. I was really excited to try this line (possibly even as my next cruise) until we ran into a travel agent (who was on the virgin ship) and shared some of her opinions of it. It gave me some hesitation in my rush to book. but it is a gorgeous and interesting looking vessel. It looked like a silver bullet or floating Hindenburg coming into dock. I watched it for 30 mins from an upper deck. Edited January 19, 2022 by Team Stag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems people either love it or hate it....not a lot in between. Apparently the crew appears to be just part of the pax, whether it be dressing the part at a dinner table right next to ya, in the tatoo parlor, in in a yoga class. We figure the best way to decide is give it a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be next door to the pawn shop on the Promenade deck? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoz Posted January 19, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I saw a review of it on Emma Cruises and there are no drawers in the staterooms. No drawers! It seems edgier than other cruise lines. For example their ice cream parlor is named: "Lick me till...Ice Cream." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC State Posted January 19, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I heard the cabins are more like a college dorm. Plus...."it's a swingers cruise"....I didn't say that but that's what I had a friend to tell me that sailed this fall. Jump over to VC page and read up on some of the nightly sessions they have. 🤣 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted January 19, 2022 #14 Share Posted January 19, 2022 the curved backend is similar to MSC newer ships. And the newer coming down the pike NCL will have the same silhouette as well. One thing I did like that I have seen on You Tube videos is, Virgin has a RED night - the opposite of Carnival's WHITE night. Folks wear red clothes. Also, the wake of the ship has red spotlight on the back. I am not sure if I would go on Virgin as I rather enjoy watching kids on ships. I do not have any but in these times, kids do not talk about politics or anything controversial. They just play and seem happy. Virgin might be too swinging for me and I do not drink alcohol nor do I gamble. Love ships with smokey casinos so I do those DCL cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakigemcam Posted January 19, 2022 #16 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I love an edgy experience but omg the VV marketing EXHAUSTS me. I feel like they're trying so hard to be different. Good for those who enjoy it, I just can't w the marketing. It would be nice to experience their dining concept, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot different than how Celebrity was saturating the market with EDGE advertising when it was first announced. Don't believe me, just go ask Alice.

deliver42 Posted January 19, 2022 #18 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've watched several videos on the Scarlet Lady, and while parts of the shup are beautiful, the cabin leave me wanting. If you want to see their furniture, go to any Ikea store, The pool is about the size of a large bathtub, and the vibe just seems cold to me.

ECCruise Posted January 19, 2022 #19 Share Posted January 19, 2022 7 day cruises? Not. Caribbean cruises? Not. Current pricing? Not. Sticking with the other lines, even though the edginess of VV is appealing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jump over to VC page and read up on some of the nightly sessions they have. 🤣 I'm currently on Scarlet Lady. I guess my husband and I should be insulted that no one has hit on us to swing. I actually like the cabin. I thought the hammock on the balcony would be gimmicky, but is so comfortable. I took a nap in at the other day. There is one drawer under the bed, and shelves in the closet. We didn't have trouble finding places for all of our things. Love the rainfall showerhead.

Rare sid_9169 Posted January 20, 2022 #22 Share Posted January 20, 2022 For those of you on the fence about trying out something new, they're food alone was enough to bring me back for a second and third look...

The beauty of choices...well, for us, maskless choices aren't very plentiful right now, but X and VV should be the first to return to such here in the states. I'm one that has faith that the vax is enough, or it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
