What’s the difference between Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady? Nothing.

Ok I lied. The shuffle board location is to the side of the cake pops and dessert display instead of being in front of them on Valiant Lady.

Also, huge difference… there is ONE tiny piece of art that’s different. Ok fine, two pieces of art. The swing and the sea horse.

Translation: it’s the same ship. Or the same sh**. You decide how you want to look at it.

Virgin Voyages Cruise Tips

This is a top misperception! Everyone thinks they’re two totally different ships. Resilient is the same. Brilliant… she’s slightly slimmer (so she can fit in the Panama Canal).

So take a look for yourself!

    Not sure if you’ll see this, and I’ll definitely keep looking, BUT…what are your recs for tipping? How much should I bring, what are you tipping on dinner, for each drink, spa etc??
    Thank you so so much!! Your content is so fun to watch and so so helpful!!
    I’m sailing this November 2024 out of Miami, and I cannot wait πŸ™‚

      AHOYYY! do you want the honest answer? i specifically haven’t made a content piece dedicated to this. Why? I get SO MANY NEGATIVE direct messages, emails, private messages etc etc etc because I’ve made the choice to tip and even though I never say “YOU MUST DO IT, TOO”, people receive my message that way/ People who DO NOT agree with tipping have SOMETHING (very negative) TO SAY to people who think (totally optional!!!) tipping is great. I talk about it here and there in content, but .. that’s why you can’t find it πŸ‘€ Ouch right?

I’m stoked you’re here!
