Rare richstowe Posted January 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Its been announced that Virgin is refreshing its Scarlet Lady cabins already . Plus they are making changes to Valiant Lady before it even sails . That's shocking to me . I understand they were trying to be new and innovative but did they try too hard to reinvent the wheel ? https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/6715/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezzaC Posted January 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think it is good that they are listening to feedback and acting fast. I have booked Rockstar cabin and it looked fine for me. However I noticed there is only one three door closet and no drawers for storing stuff. So I think it is good that they are adding some more storage space to the cabins. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxcruisinguy Posted January 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It's a good thing, shows they are listening to their customers and invested in their product offering. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminnicholas Posted January 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2022 We sailed in one of these new rooms on the Christmas voyage. They didn't reinvent the wheel here. It's new accents. It was fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sailed on Scarlet I saw the work being done and was nosey and looked and did not see closet changes.

benjaminnicholas Posted January 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2022 One side of the closet now has six pullout drawers, as well as additional small drawers bedside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinMermaid Posted January 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It’s amazing a cruise line listened to customers and acted early to make changes. I loved the cabin design and am sure the updates will only make it better. My cabin had additional drawers so well designed as part of the bed frame I only found them by accident my last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogcityca13 Posted January 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Glad to hear they’re adding a bit more storage. Chronic overpacker. Very encouraging that they are listening and adapting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha_74 Posted January 26, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I am happy to hear about the changes and the fact that VV is listening. I cruise on Valiant December 2022 and Resilient in early 2023. looking forward to them both! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ociana Posted January 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2022 This is just an example of them paying attention to feedback from the initial round of cruisers. I found out on a facebook group that they implemented some feedback I had submitted as well, so it really does seem like they are listening and that is a great quality to have. The thing I had suggested is a shipwide scavenger hunt activity - which is now in place with the art around the ship. Very excited to try it on our next cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

work4cruising Posted January 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We had one of the cabins at Christmas and the drawers were nice. I'm happy this line is agile and can make some quick pivots to feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisingWalter Posted February 2, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Not a fail at all, a huge WIN. It means they are actively listening to their guests and instead of waiting years for a full retrofit, they're making the changes now. Most other cruise lines would gather the information and then years down the road when the ship goes into drydock, make the updates to huge fanfare. Virgin just saw that maybe their cabins were a little too 'modern and stark' and saw they could warm them up easily and quickly. How Virgin listened to their guests and have made adjustments so quickly makes me that much more excited to finally sail on Scarlet Lady in July. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Which is unlike nearly every other cruise ship) They keep it primarily in bed mode unless you request it to be converted into a couch. There’s room for your standard sized bags to slide underneath.

Nymich Posted April 2, 2022 #20 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Has anyone had suit cases under couch? How many bags can fit under and what sizes fit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted April 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We were also told by the person I spoke with during booking that part of the "revamping" was to include more HA cabins as they had not anticipated the number of needs for accessibility.
