Ahoy! We stayed on Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady for SEVEN nights and we bring you the FIRST complete dining guide of every eatery on board. As most voyages are only three or four nights, you're not going to fit it all in. That's why you should watch this and make decisions about how to use your precious time on board and where you'll get the most culinary enjoyment. I hope you find this video helpful and enjoyable!
DISCLOSURE: Our seven night voyage was made up of two separate voyages - a four night voyage in a Seriously Suite which we booked and paid full price for with ourselves no additional benefits or promotions over and above any other paying guest. Our second voyage was a three nighter through World of Cruising magazine, for whom we have been asked to write a feature on Scarlet Lady. This three night voyage in a standard Sea Terrace cabin was as a guest of Virgin Voyages on behalf of World of Cruising and we received no other benefits or promotions other than the complimentary accommodation. We have not been given any editorial guidance or have been asked to produce a certain view that would favour Virgin Voyages over and above our own opinion. All our Virgin Voyages videos have been produced without influence and with complete editorial freedom. They contain our personal and unbiased opinion. Thank you.

This is by far the most complete food review I’ve found. It will be very helpful.
Thank you. We agree, we have the most complete and comprehensive Dining Guides on TH-cam. I defy anyone who says otherwise lol! :D
We can appreciate a well thought out, High quality vlog. We really enjoyed this and are excited for our upcoming voyage upon this ship
Absolute quality
Thanks so much Rich and Jazzy! I hope you watched our ship review video too! :D
As a travel agent and a cruiser, this was by far the best review of any ship’s food offerings I have ever watched. your video and editing skills are superb. Thank you for not doing a walk about and making us motion sick-🤣
And listening to your calm voice was a delight. I also love a god pun and wry dry wit.
I am cruising on the five day Riviera Maye cruise out of Miami on November 7 to the 12th. Anyone else on that one? We need to make sure we hit these highlighted venues within those five days. Ready? Set, GO!
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate the feedback. :) You're going to LOVE Scarlet Lady and it's NOT LONG NOW! :D
Your video sold me on booking with Virgin. Keep up the great work, I enjoyed the quality and detail of the food and restaurant layout. Not to mention, your accent is classy and soothing !
Thank you 😊
And thanks for watching 👍
Just back from Virgin, Great review brings me right back , also Top 10/10 service all over the ship . Amazing never had service like this anywhere . We did a back to back to The Ascent and service their 7/10. Great job Virgin 👍👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
This was such a great guide - I'm boarding Valiant Lady on Friday, and now very excited to try all of this (or as much as I can). I also can't believe I wasn't subscribed to your channel - now rectified - thanks for posting this one!
Thanks for watching Fraser 😊
Hope you enjoyed Valiant Lady 👍
I've never wanted to take a cruise but this actually looks good along with another video I saw about Virgin. It may be on my bucket list.
I think you’ll find once you take your first cruise, you’ll be hooked. 🥳😀 Thanks for watching.
Best breakdown of the cuisine on Scarlet Lady. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! New Scarlet Lady video coming out today which I hope you'll enjoy - a critical and in depth honest review of the Sea Terrace vs a Seriously Suite. :D
As always, thank you for this well done dining guide for the Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady! You both are absolutely awesome and I appreciate the details!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support. :)
I have watched a few virgin voyages food reviews and I have to compliment you on this, it was thorough and I got what I needed. The visuals on the food were amazing and the voice over was nicely done. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. ☺️
Brought back great memories from my summer voyage :) Virgin have really excelled themselves with their food offering ❤️
Thanks for watching Gareth. Great memories indeed! :D
Love your witty contrast!
Thank you Grace. :D
Thank you for this video! I’m sailing next week and it’s sooooo helpful!
Thank you 😊
We hope you enjoyed your cruise 🛳❤️
Thanks for watching 👍
On point, detailed, no BS review. Loved it.
Thank you so much. 😊
Just a great fun video, I was surprised by the excellence of the food in general per other vloggers posts, and your detailed video was tremendous. I can't pick a favorite without going to my old reliable chocolate brownies, they looked amazing. Thanks so much for doing these.
Haha! Thanks Lou. Chocolate brownies are incredibly hard to beat on any level. SOOOO bad for you though... ;)
This was wonderful! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching Erika 👍
This is a world-class video with a truly remarkable amount of detail baked in. Can't wait for our voyage!
Thank you for watching and your kind comments 😊👍
Your vlogs make other cruising vlogs look like home movies.
Aww, thank you, that’s so kind 😊
Thank you so much for this excellent dining guide. We are excited to experience our first Virgin Voyage in July and this helps us a great deal! - Kelly
Thanks for watching Kelly and we hope you have a fabulous time! :D
Wow!…….just Wow!
Thanks for watching Cathie. :D
Fantastic review! So thorough and well done. Thank you for doing this. I am now prepared for my voyage!
Glad it was helpful Patrick! We hope you enjoy your cruise! :D
This was very informative. We are even more excited about our trip!
Thank you for watching. We hope you enjoy your cruise! 😀
Omg I could listen to your voice all day every day
Thank you 😊
A year later and this is still one of the best food review ! Really good work thank you
Thank you so much. We try and design our videos to be the best and with the most longevity right from the word go. ☺️
Amazing video! We’re booked for a short cruise and this has really helped us. Thank you 😁
Thank you 😊
And thanks for watching 👍
Very informative thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you ☺️
Wow that's put the Virgin cruise option in a whole new light for me. Looks amazing! Eye's opened. Future cruise shortlist re-ordered!
Thanks for watching Mark. It certainly surpassed my expectations. :)
The best restaurant guide we have seen - gutted we missed out on the Social Club and the 15th Deck cafe's little bowls!
We were on the 23rd Aug sailing and LOVED the food - Pink Agave was our fav followed by the Test Kitchen with Razzle Dazzle for lunch the biggest (pleasant) surprise. Steak restaurants are` just that - steak restaurants - but The Wake was as good as any! We thought the food in the Italian was good but possibly lacked a little atmosphere although the staff were great.
The pizza place while only having 4 pizzas on the menu will make any of your requested combos to order!
We've already booked again for the Zeebrugge Cruise on Valiant Lady and the Greek Cruise on Resilient Lady - hopefully they'll vary the menu's a bit!
Thanks for watching and your kind words Don. :)
Stumbled upon your review and it was outstanding! Great video!!!
Thank you! Feel free to subscribe and watch more! 👍😆
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful when I got to go. A few additional things that I loved and highly recommend: in the galley, the coconut pavlova (meringue, pineapple compote, and coconut cream) melted in my mouth unlike any dessert I had ever had, and the pistachio macarons with fresh raspberries in the middle were amazing. Also, at the sweet shop, the freshly made chocolate covered peanut brittle was excellent.
Thanks for watching. My mouth is watering at your suggestions. I'll make a note for next time, :)
I seriously love these videos!
Thank you Dani. We seriously love you watching them. ❤
Thank you so much for this video.
You are so welcome 🤗
Thanks for watching 👍
Loved this!
Thank you 🤩
Very helpful for our trip in February!
Thank you, so glad you found it helpful 😊
Thanks for watching 👍
That was great!
Thank you 😊
This was amazing. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Rebecca! Thanks for watching. :)
It was fun . I enjoyed you
Thank you Cheryl. I hope you subscribe and enjoy me some more. :)
Thank you. This was very helpful.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching. ☺️
Awesome review!! Thank you!!
Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching 👍
I have decided that my second VV cruise will be immediately after the first, in case I have yet to have my fill of the food. It all looks absolutely fabulous.
You're going to have so much fun on a back to back. That's what we did. :D
Love this I’m going on Scarlett lady in 2024 on a 14 day transatlantic cruise can’t wait
Thank you 😊
Hope you enjoy Scarlett Lady 😍
Awesome rundown!
Thanks for watching Carmine 👍
wow what can I say this is an amazing video and I shared it on all of my sites on Facebook.
Wow, thank you for sharing it! :D
You ought to do a best of vlog for cruise ships ... Best appetizer, best entree, best dessert, best entertainment, best stateroom, best shore excursion, best onboard experience and most embarrassing experience you ever had on a cruise ship etc.. We can see which cruise or ship gets the most points.
You read our minds Aimee. Coming later this year… 😉
Great vid!! I ate everywhere and can’t wait to go back
Thank you for watching! :D
My dream cruise is getting closer and closer 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yay 😁😁😁
Great guide!
Thank you Moriah 😊
And thanks for watching 👍
Thanks I saw another video and never would go virgin cruise but after I saw your thanks I might do it after my carnival cruise was very well done I am meat and potatoes person thanks I do not eat anything green so thanks again from NYC
Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful and enticing 😁👍
Virgin Voyages now on my radar. The food. The food. The ship. Already looking at Valiant Lady itinerary
Cheers Jo. Glad we could enlighten you. :)
Thoroughly awesome review. The voiceover was the best.
Wow, thanks Ash! Really appreciate you watching it. :)
Fab video!!
Thank you Lucy. I hope you enjoyed our review video too! :D
Omg I’m going next week!!! 🎉 can’t freakin wait
Have fun 🤩
Alright that’s it !! 5 min in and you have gained me as a loyal follow 😂
You’re a legend to me. Thank you. 😅
Thanks for such an informative video. I'm a try celebrity cruise type person, and have had my eye on Virgin. I was a little skeptical as I don't think they offer traditional packages or all inclusive deals . After your video I completely understand what the upcharge is about and it looks fantastic elevated and fun! Thank you
Thanks for watching Jacob. Yes, VV surprised us with their on board dining experience and food offering.
We went on a VV cruise last year aboard the Scarlet Lady. We were very impressed by everything the ship had to offer so much so that we booked a second voyage while still onboard! If you've never been on a VV cruise you MUST! We leave for the Bahamas in 3 three weeks on the Valiant Lady! Hope to see you onboard!
Happy cruising Darryn 🛳❤️
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😊
Wow! I felt as if I was watching an episode on the wealth of entertainment channel. This was excellent. Thank you so much for this incredible content.
Thank you 😊
Great review I'm booked on the December 1st cruise from Miami
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! :)
Wow this is really well done
Thank you 😊
And thanks for watching 👍
Going on Virgin Voyages this September, our second cruise on this line and we are so excited. I never found the poke place, it will be my first stop!
It’s excellent, make sure to get there at least once.
Thanks for watching and have a great cruise 😊
Will be cruising on Resilient Lady over Xmas and I’m super excited. I wasn’t going to get the bar tab because it’s a lot of money and I don’t really drink, but I might just have to try something for the Test Kitchen meal.
Oooh, we LOVED Test Kitchen ❤️
Hope you have a great cruise. Thanks so much for watching 👍
The food looks gorgeous- I’d have to lose a stone before getting on that ship for sure!
Haha! Yes, you'll definitely lose that battle once on board. :D
The voice, the editing, the overall quality of this video gives me Nat Geo nostalgia. Amazing! Subscribed.
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
Great and complete review! I aint going on this ship, for sure!
Fair enough!
Thanks for watching 👍
Sailing on scarlet lady friday sure hope I get to try some of this food-unable to get a reservation at any time in any restaurant all5 of the nights!!!! Been trying for a month-that will really suck if I can’t get in
Great video
Thank you. ☺️
this was a great video. :-) i will be going in october an I am excited.
Thanks for watching. Have a great cruise 🚢❤️
Would love to see a video ranking the best cruises in terms of dining. Curious to know how you personally rank VV against the rest!
Foodie comparison videos are in the planning when time allows 😁
Watch this space (and make sure you’re subscribed obviously 😉 😄)
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you so much for such a detailed guide! Outside of Razzle Dazzle, did you happen to notice many vegan options? I took my first cruise with Royal Caribbean 2 months ago and the dining was truly awful so don't want to make that mistake again.
There were vegetarian options on the main menus but not sure about vegan - sorry. Though Razzle Dazzle was probably our favourite restaurant (after Test Kitchen) and is open for breakfast too 👍
I LOVE the way the buffet works! I love a good buffet, but at the same time I hate food that’s been picked all over, or pot lucks. It grosses me out, even more so in this Covid area, and I’ve always been a minor hypochondriac.
This is the beauty of the way Scarlet Lady does 'buffets' Michelle. Nobody gets to finger or fiddle with it. Much nicer. Thank you for watching. :)
On US maiden voyage vloggers said there were many restaurants not open as advertised, including the pizza place. Food hard to find at 3pm.
That's not something we experienced in the UK Summer Soiree sailings.
Fantastic!... We're doing 4 nights with a goal to do all 6 restaurants. Question: Other than Razzle Dazzle do the others have a fair selection of vegan or at least vege people? My wife's a trouble maker :)
Hi Joe. Yes, there was plenty of choice for vegan/vege. Helen always tries to choose those wherever possible. :)
Heya , awesome video. The snippet seating area with blue umbrella at 0:39 Is this available to all people of rockstars only ?
This is the Dock and Dock house area, a public area at the back of the ship open to all guests and our favourite place to go and relax 👍
Thanks for watching.
I really appreciate your video going in October and I have the taste buds of a picky child so this helped me know what to avoid 😂🤣
😂😂😂
Hope you enjoyed your cruise and found something you liked to eat 😆
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
great vid! do you happen to know if additional servings at restaurants are also included/complimentary? as in if i wanted to order 3 filet mignons at the steakhouse
Thanks for watching! Ooh, interesting question. I’d eat filet mignon all day given the chance. 😂 I think the answer is… give it a go and see if they say no. 😂
Great video, our restaurant booking reservations opens next week for our cruise. Can’t wait! What camera do you use by the way? Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Gareth, hope you got the reservations you wanted. We use a Sony, our iPhones, and a go-pro 👍
@@visitwithus yes, we got all that we wanted. 👌🏻👍🏻
Excellent coverage of the dining options. We booked our cruise pretty last minute as we are sailing in one month and dining slots are booked up. Did you have any experience with walk-in dining at any of the specialty restaurants?
I’m afraid we didn’t, no. We booked all of our dining in advance before getting on the ship (apart from breakfasts). Hopefully they have some way for handling last minute bookings 🤞
I am going on scarlet lady this Friday and I’m in same situation started trying one month ago when we booked cruise I look on app all the time not one time slot open any one of the nights for any restaurants-were you able to get in any???
@@loristitt1836 yes, when we got on the ship they had people that were helping to set reservations. We ate at all the restaurants! 😃
@@UpUpOurWay oh my gosh ty so much for responding-you have given me so much more excitement for this trip now!!!!
TYVM! Looks good. OTOH, look at the test kitchen. I almost always get the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing at a Michelin-starred restaurant, so I am in the target market. Yet I get to sit in comfy chairs not chic stools.
I like innovation so there is much at Virgin to enjoy. Yet I get the feeling that in their pursuit of innovation - or at least different - they are trying just a bit too hard. YMMV.
Thanks for your feedback, which is well observed! Great dining, seating a bit totalitarian in places. :)
Are you guys gonna upload more virgin vids? These are great
Cheers Sam. Much appreciated. Yes we've got more planned. The next one will be comparing the standard Sea Terrace with the entry level Seriously Suite. We staying in both so we can give you our opinion. Please subscribe and hit the bell so you know when it's released. :)
So this cruise ship doesn't offer a drink package like other cruise ships? It is just packaged per restaurant? Great video!
Well, their drinks package is different (typical Virgin Voyages!) - you pre-purchase a 'bar tab' and if you do that you'll get extra cash for your bar tab. confused? Yup. :)
if i ever win the lottery ... and could afford a cruise ... after watching your fantastic food review video ... this ship would never be on any of my lists lol ... garish flooring colours lighting ... tiny meal portions ... food too unusual to be lovely ... awful!!!!! but i have now subscribed cos i would love to see more of your thorough reviewing!!! thank you rich and helen!
Thanks for subscribing 👍
What do you recommend for a first time cruise couple celebrity or virgin cruise line ?
It really depends what you are looking for. We recommend watching and reading as many reviews as possible so you know what to expect from whichever you choose. We do have some celebrity videos which might be useful for you. As first time cruisers you may find celebrity a more gentle introduction to the world of cruising, but then that’s where virgin try to break the mould, trying to replicate a resort holiday on a cruise ship - guess it just depends what you want from your vacation. Anyway hope you did what you’re looking for - please ask if you have any more questions and let us know what you decide 👍 Thanks for watching ☺️
Superb
Best detail on food of any blog
Bravo
Looks delicious
Thanks a lot 😊 Yes, we believe we have the most complete and comprehensive dining guides on TH-cam. :)
I'm more a fine dining person!!
All of these look great to me though.
We're fine dining fans too Christian. Scarlet Lady was surprisingly good though. :)
We are going on a virgin cruise in Dec on the valiant lady :) not really sure what to expect and if i will like this alternative styling of cruising. Im eager to try something new, but just not sure. Im really concerned about the food though as i prefer home cooked /pub style meals. This food seems very fancy and im scared my tummy will not be able to stomach it. I think for our 5 night cruise i will be eating only deserts and drinking coffee lol oh well guess I'll stack on quite a few pounds, but who cares you only live once :)
Meant resilient lady we will be cruising on
Don’t worry Debbie, there are plenty of dining options and I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like. The buffet offers a variety of cuisines including the more pub style offerings.
Have a wonderful cruise and let us know how you get on 🚢
So still curious what the costs are of these restaurants. Are they included or all charge specialty restaurants?
Hi. Thanks for watching. All the dining is included. No premiums charged anywhere. :)
It looks amazing. Are the restaurants all you can order and eat?
thanks for watching Daniel. I'm not sure they are 'all you can eat' but it would be fun to give that theory a try. As they are all included in your fare, I guess they probably are. :)
are those foods included in the Sea Terrace booking price? thank you
Yes they are!
Thanks for watching 👍
A comprehensive dining guide, some of which look a little too wacky for our liking. Clearly a “marmite” brand for us traditional cruises. The more we see, the less our cup of tea. Another quality and fun vlog, appreciated. OTBC!
Glad you enjoyed it! Like I said in the vlog, it's not for everyone but we were pleasantly surprised. OTBC! :)
Hi! I have a question: Can you order every dish of a restaurant's menu??
Hi Deb. Not sure if I'm being honest.
Still not convinced it's for me, but the food looked great!
It's not for everyone Warren. The food was a highlight though. Brutally honest cabin review comparison video coming out today so stay tuned! :D
@@visitwithus I'll just have to wait until after we have our trip on Viking Venus in January to decide! Still waiting the food review btw! 😁
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
That's one HAPPY face Jeniffer! :D
Did you try the room service by chance?
No, we didn’t have time unfortunately (and too many other places to eat ❤️).
Thanks for watching 👍
I don’t know if this video makes me feel really classy or really low brow - since all I like apparently is chicken and steak. But I’ll give anything a try if its “free”. 🙃 Very well done Vlog.
Haha! There's plenty of chicken and steak on offer. I would prefer to say 'classy AND with simple refined tastes', and THAT'S not lowbrow at all. ;)
@@visitwithus well, I am very picky about my steak and chicken :)
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM 😆❤️
Are the menus good for those with food limitations due to allergies
I would like to assume they give extensive allergy information, but it's worth checking with Virgin if you have any concerns. Thanks for watching! :D
Did you need to make reservations for any of those facilities?
Yes, you did. You can use the Virgin app to make dinner reservations.
Thanks for watching 👍
Is the affogato at italian restaurant included
Yes it is 😁👍
Is this up and down the Themes? You`re pulling mi leg.....shit! What a food trip!
No it was in and out of Portsmouth on the south coast of UK.
Thanks for watching 👍
I am hoping to sail with Virgin next year God spare our lives.
Thanks for watching
I'm really worried about the food onboard as my fiance doesn't eat fancy food. We are cruising on resilient Lady in December for our honeymoon so I'm hoping that she can find something onboard to eat or it will be a long 5 nights for her
If you have a TA maybe they could contact the ship before you board and let them know what door your fiancée doesn’t like 👍
I’m sure you’ll still have a great honeymoon - it’s a fun ship ❤️
The app has all the food options at each restaurant, so I'm sure you can find enough for you both to enjoy
Viking dining guide coming soon?
Most definitely. I’ve got a hefty release schedule and Helen is cracking the old whip. 😂
@@visitwithus Has the topic of CWU #4 come up? (commenting to help analytics, not to be ungrateful. TYVM! )
