      I think 🤔 this ship 🚢 may be a refurbished ship , that they purchased. Rather than one , they ordered & designed.

      @@alexanderallan215 Valiant Lady was built in 2020 as Virgin's second sister ship to Scarlet Lady. They are both built and designed for Virgin, so therefore not refurbished. They are virtually the same as each other, but with a few decor and cosmetic changes as Francesco pointed out.

    Do you make cruise reservations directly on the Virgin website? Are there mostly Americans on board the Mediterranean cruise? Have you ever done an Alaska cruise? I am interested, but don't know which one to choose. I would prefer a cruise that is great for older single people, and no children. Any recommendations?

      @@scottnichols3685 I'm actually glad they broke up. John seems like a real nice guy ... very together and smart and really has his act together. I hope John can find someone more his level. Francesco is a turn-off & is all about himself. It's weird... he always seems like he must be the center of attention and must be the focus of everything on every cruise, every meal, everything. He determines where everyone eats, when they eat, what they drink, etc. By the way, I think we all saw this coming on that previous cruise when Francesco threw a fit because John didn't wake him in time for that night time party & then Francesco pouted like a child and spent a full day on his own away from everyone. Very off-putting. John is better off without him.

    • @Rob-ut9vo
      @Rob-ut9vo ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@scottnichols3685 What's also very weird is how Francesco just didn't give a damn, apparently, about their dog, Mia. Even if he was going to go off on his own on cruise after cruise in between all his non-stop work trips, you'd think he would at least want to be home with Mia *especially* after losing their other dog, Gio, last Fall. Francesco is incredibly selfish. And I'm sure we also all noticed that Francesco couldn't even look at John while filming their breakup video. Poor John looked so sad and was so soft-spoken in the video that it was clear their whole "we are always going to remain friends" mantra is untrue. I think many of us watched this channel for John and the dogs. Do we really watch to hear Francesco say, "And in my room on the Scarlet Lady is bottled water because I'm a Star Platinum member? Or do people actually care to see a grown man who's more obsessed with all things Disney-related than a child? This last cruise showcased a very fake Francesco trying to pretend like he was living his best life & having a ton of fun when, in reality, he was on an almost empty ship and it looked boring as heck. John was so nice to him, even at the end, saying kind words in that breakup video & taking the high road.
