Virgin Boyage's third ship, the resilient lady, debuted in May 2023, is an incredible ship in a good way. This ship offers a lot of things to adults who love fun, with almost a bran d-new entertainment, nostalgic, stylish, and attractive adult atmosphere.

Especially in the case of new boats, most of the time, there are twists and turns and must be solved. But here, I have reached out to find a trivial shortcoming and think about what makes the resilient lady special.

On the surface, there is no big difference between the two sisters, Scarlet Lady and Variant Lady. This ship stands out, is a small detail like artwork, the position of the buil t-in tattoo (yes), and the Snacks on the ship after the Greek itinerary of this ship. It is a service limited to the portable area, such as the Opa hour, which is provided.

However, the main differentiation factor is entertainment, mostly brand new for the fleet. The show was developed in a partnership with famous brands, including the famous Brooklyn nightclub "House of Jesus" and the popular experience show "Sleep No More" in New York.

This interesting new ship has a lot of charm. Here are my experiences, such as bars, lounges, shows, cabins, restaurants, activities, etc.

Overview of Resilient Lady

You can carry up to 2. 770 passengers, and a 110. 000 ton ship has 17 decks. It is a size of a third of a large passenger ship.

In other words, many restaurants, unusual bars and lounges, outdoor sunset areas, workout areas, and innovative performance spaces are overwhelming. He has succeeded in maintaining a somewhat intimate atmosphere.

Virgin Boyage is regarded as a top-class cruise line, and although it is not a complete survey fare, specific amenities that incorporate additional charges in the mainstream line, such as basic Wi-Fi, amenities, and alternative dining, are incorporated into the fare. It is.

What I loved about Resilient Lady

Entertainment

Virgin Voyage is familiar with entertainment. The brand, which has roots in the music industry, was supported by Richard Branson in the business world and had many challenges before the cruise line was launched. He started powerfully with Scarlett Lady and Variant Lady, but there were several twists and turns.

Thankfully, they turned that around with Resilient Lady, and delivered a new, next-level show after another. My overall impression of the shows I saw was, "I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm here for this."

Entertainment is not an afterthought on this ship. This show has sought out, or in many cases created, the best show possible, sprinkled in a ton of subtext, and built the ship around it.

Inclusivity

Virgin Voyages prides itself on pushing the boundaries and has a history of delivering forward-thinking products that are ahead of their time. They have developed a loyal fanbase of repeat customers, especially in the LGBTQI+ community.

Resilient Lady has its own drag queen, known as the "Diva," who pulls no punches. But she has some incredible high kicks and enough dirty jokes to fill several shows' worth of material. On each cruise, she may also host bingo or other social gatherings.

You'll also notice that the professional singers and dancers are more diverse than anywhere else at sea. It's refreshing to see that they're not all tall, skinny, and white.

But it's not just skin color, body type, or sexual orientation. There's a general feeling of acceptance on this ship, no matter who you are. Your fellow passengers won't blink an eye if you have rainbow-colored hair, are covered in tattoos, decide to dress up as a mermaid, wear a tutu to dinner, or show up to Scarlet Night in just your speedos. In this judgement-free zone, differences and eccentricities are welcomed.

Nostalgia

On Virgin Voyages' Resilient Lady, there's free popcorn and a small arcade on board. Ashley Koziolek / The Points GuyWhat could be better than a boat that makes you feel like a kid again? A boat that makes you feel like a kid again without constantly reminding you that you're an adult.

A rugged lady packed with fun activities to play like a kid during the day and stay up late at night for more adult-themed entertainment. The schedule includes 80s-themed hobbies, 80s-themed dance band classes, 90s-themed dodgeball tournaments, and summer arts and crafts. You'll also enjoy free candy, popcorn, cookies, ice cream, and board games like Candyland, Mousetrap, and Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Dozens of board games, from classic to modern, are available for passengers on board Virgin Voyages' rugged ships. Ashley Kosciolek/The Points Guy

At night, enjoy face glam art (a sticky, festive music festival), an arcade (or casino), and selfies with carousel-esque creatures, making it an adult playground. (No, seriously. The outdoor deck even has swings, a trapeze, a twister board, and a jungle gym.)

The best thing about Virgin Voyages is that it's adults-only (no one under 18 allowed on board). On an adult-only ship, you're not an adult who has to participate in enthusiastic kids' activities. Instead, everything on board is made for you.

Everywhere I went, I found something that was not only fun, but also reconnected me to my childhood. I had so many "I forgot about that" and "It's been years" moments.

What I didn't love about Resilient Lady

Cabins

I like Virgin's cabins for their simple, funky décor and technological advances (temperature, lighting, and curtains are controlled by a tablet, which passengers also use to request new towels and order services). But there are some design choices I still don't fully understand.

Although improved based on customer feedback, the cabins have curtains instead of wardrobes and the beds are not exactly comfortable, with a sofa-to-bed convertible arrangement.

In the standard sturdy ladies' cabin, the bed can be converted into a sofa during the day. Ashley Kociorek/The Points Guy

At night, the two single beds can be arranged in an L-shape or joined together to make one queen-size bed. During the day, the beds can be transformed into sofas, providing additional seating and floor space. I found this system too cumbersome, so I used the beds as beds for the entire voyage, except for one day when I asked to have them swapped so I could take photos.

The bathrooms are also painfully small in the standard rooms. In fact, the one on my cabin's sea terrace (balcony) was the size of an airplane bathroom with an extra shower. I ended up with multiple bruises on my elbows from slamming my hand on the shower door while trying to fix my hair and makeup. (There was a sink in the main cabin, but the lighting was terrible, so I did my makeup in the bathroom.)

Scheduling

It's hard to understand what's going on on board each day without investing a lot of time into using cruise line apps. Printed schedules are available at the Crew Services Office or The Grand Club Cafe. If not, you can find everything on your phone.

The number of activities is dizzying and often overlaps, so you'll probably pick and choose. You may not be able to see and do everything you want to see on one trip, but that's by design. Virgin Voyages has a high rate of repeat cruises, and it's easy to see why: our ships are amazing, and they make you want to come back to check out things you didn't get to see the first time.

An example of an activity that appears on the Virgin Voyages app. ASHLEY KOSCIOLEK/THE POINTS GUY

So why is that a bad thing? Because if you don't schedule quickly, you could miss out on a popular show or an activity that requires advance registration, like coffee tastings, arts and crafts, or a pub crawl.

This is especially true for dinner reservations, especially at popular restaurants and dinner theaters. If you don't make a reservation hours after boarding, you might find yourself relegated to the food court or eating at an inopportune time with limited evening entertainment.

I understand the need to plan, but knowing what you want to do in advance can take the spontaneity out of your vacation.

Razzle Dazzle's Beat Pillogi to Virgin Vojazge Resirective Lady Ashley Kosciolek/The Points Guy

Food service

Before I treated this as something I didn't like, I want to clarify that when I ran, the resilient lady's crew was very friendly, kind and friendly.

Still, I was frustrated by the service issues. Probably due to the fact that employees were not used to the flow of meals, preparing for meals, and the timing that were not used to the timing. My biggest dissatisfaction was that it took too much time to consistently receive the dishes during the voyage.

One night, when I ate at the vegetarian restaurant "Razzle Dazzle" on board, I waited for almost 30 minutes after eating the appetizer and receiving the main dish. In other words, before the show had to hurry, I had time to eat just two. We asked if we were sorry to wrap the dishes and bring them to the room, but we were told that we could not. I was hungry and frustrated and left the store, but I lost what I had originally eaten.

On another day, we had a meal at The Wake, an arrangement of resirign Lady, a luxury steakhouse in the 1960s. The woman next door ordered a steak and was brought in a reasonable time. Another woman at a nearby table saw the steak being carried and asked how it was. She ordered a steak more than 40 minutes ago, but hadn't reached yet. Immediately after returning her to the table, he and her companion returned without eating.

At the end of the trip, I went to a stadiu m-type galley, where you can enjoy several kinds of dishes, and ordered banana open sandwiches and drinks for lunch. The drink arrived without delay, but after waiting for lunch for about 30 minutes, the waitress informed that my order was lost. I had to order again and wait 15 minutes.

Resilient Lady cabins and suites

The resilient lady has a cute name, but has a typical accommodation. Insidered (105 indoor cabins without windows), "Sea View" (95 outdoor cabins with windows), "Sea Terrace" (130 rooms with balconies), "Rockstar Quarters" (78 rooms). There are two "Massive Suite" rooms, 2, 147 square meters, which won the TPG Award, which won the "Sweet Aft Suite", "Serious Suite", "Serious Sweet", "Creamy Corner Suite".

Massive Suite has two bedrooms, one is a king size bed, and the other is a drawe r-type sofa standard. There are also record players with abundant music library, private sun lounge with dining table, hot tabs, lounges, and outdoor shower. Butler service such as luxury bed linen, swimwear drying and free minibar storage. Two luxury amenities, mood lighting, ful l-size closet. Priority boarding, priority and lower ships, and pic k-up service.

From the 78 Rockstar Quarters, including the Massive Suite, you can access the Richard Rooftop protected by the card key. Elegant but fun outdoor bars and lounges allows you to enjoy a free hour with champagne every day for free, and relax in a private hot tab or a comfortable sofa.

93 % of the cabin is ocean view (that is, the interior is only 7 %), and 86 % has a balcony. This is an impressive number. There are also 46 solo customers divided into an interior (40 rooms) and an exterior (6 rooms) categories.

There are 29 barrie r-free cabins in almost all categories. It is divided into two types: completely barrie r-free cabin (for wheelchair users) and cabi n-free pedestrian cabin (for cane, walking device, scooter users).

Each FAC offers a wider door, extra space for rotation, an emergency pull code, a storage space on the bedside, a closet bar, a lighting switch, and a thermostat. The AAC space is the same as the standard, but there is a handle near the shower and the toilet, there is a shower seat, and the indoor functions such as lighting switches and coat hooks are low.

Lift based on the American Disabled Law is available in pools on board and some hot tabs. There is also a lift in Spa Pool.

Ashley Kosciolek/The Points Guy My cabin was a 185 square meter central water balcony room, all of which I needed, but it was a pleasant Spartan. The purple, blue, pink, and red decorations in the previous cabin have been abolished, and instead, red brand crafts are used in neutral colors.

The beds remained in the queen, and the arrangement of the sofa used every day was omitted. The room had a small cable and a leather chair, and when I didn't use it, I used it mainly to put my wallet. In addition, there was a round washbasin with ottoman and an office for both, metal and lamp rattan desks, housephones, limited channels and free o n-demand movies, minibar (rock stars and megalock (Mega Rock) Except for the star suite, the free drinking water (with glass) was replenished as needed.

The bass room of the sturdy lady's standard cabin is painfully narrow. My was unbearable but functional. It was equipped with a white counter, a bowl with a bowl, a mirror, a toilet, a glass shower with a rainfall shower head and a hand shower head, and a fluffy white towel. (The only lattice that was prepared is written as "makeup" and shows that it is a fabric for facial. European airlines often do not have body towels, so I prepare myself. did.)

Bathroom supplies include Red Flower Brand's han d-washing soap, wall shampoo, and conditioner, which were originally developed for virgin hotels.

When taking a shower, make sure that your hand is facing the opposite side of yourself and the shower door before giving out hot water. When I forgot to confirm, I sprayed my face at least once.

A balcony in the Standard Patio Room in a sturdy woman in Virgin Voyage. Ashley Kosciolek/The Points Guy

The outside balcony was small but comfortable, two metal chairs, small drink tables, and red hammocks of yellow leaves that I liked most in the whole room. The products of this store are handmade by the Thai uneven people in Thai, making it possible for them to nurture their families and end poverty chains.

Storage, especially in the tiny bathroom, will be a challenge in a double room. The unusual furniture arrangement means that under-bed storage is prohibited if you plan to use the bed as a sofa every day. If you don't put your suitcase under the bed, it takes up valuable closet space.

The closet had a wide hanger bar, impressive in height, but the hangers were made of cheap wire coated with a shiny black rubber-like material that left dents in the shoulders of shirts.

The closet also had drawers and shelves, but a few storage baskets (a strange choice, I thought) took up some of the space. I didn't find them useful. Other closet items included a code safe, life jackets, and laundry service orders.

Each room on Virgin Voyages' Resilient Lady is equipped with a tablet that controls the curtains, lights, TV, and more. Ashley Kociorek/The Points Guy

The most impressive thing about Virgin Voyages' rooms is how elegant they are. Instead of a key card, you get a wearable that can be adjusted to fit your wrist like a friendship bracelet, giving you a lot of freedom. With the wearable, you can unlock your cabin door, charge your onboard account with purchased items, and scan yourself when entering or leaving port.

When you open your room door, the system can alert you to turn on certain lights and open the curtains at certain times of the day. However, I didn't know how to set this up, and they often opened when I didn't want them to. For those who want control, you can bring a tablet into your room and use it to turn the lights on and off, control the TV, order room service, connect with the front desk, and even request fresh towels from the room attendant.

A button on Virgin Voyages' Resilient Lady to indicate whether you want privacy or have the cabin attendant organize your cabin. ASHLEY KOSCIOLEK/THE POINTS GUY

Speaking of room managers, both were wonderful, but I didn't see them. As I found on the third day, if I wanted to clean up the room, the indicator of the "mak e-up room" (a black button with spilled drinks would turn blue when pressed). On top of that, there was a "Do not Disturb" button that turned red when it was activated. Both are strangely in the cabinet.

"A" on the port side of the sturdy Lady deck 10 of Virgin Voyage. Ashley Kosciolek/The Points Guy

The cabin number is on both sides of the ship, so it can be confusing. The cabin number is attached by the deck with the cabin and the deck with the deck. (The frame line is a beam used to build a ship, and all are numbers.)

At the end of each cabin number, the alphabet of Z is attached to the port side (left in front of the ship) and the starboard (right in front) is attached. For example, my cabin number was 10166A. In other words, I was on the deck 10 on the frame line 166 on the port. I had to be careful because there was 10166z on the other side of the ship with the same cabin number.

Another point to note: The sturdy lady has three sets of lift, in the forward (front of the ship), amido, and aft (stern). If you don't know where you are, just look at the color inside the lift you are riding. The front is purple, the inside is red, and the rear is blue.

There are many places on the sturdy boat of Virgin Woyazge where passengers can find adult drinks. Ashley Koshiolk / The Point Guy

Resilient Lady restaurants and bars

Virgin Boyage does not eat and drink like other lines, as in most of the cruis e-related attempts. First, I abandoned the buffet and replaced it with a free food court. Instead of the main dining, we developed more than 10 free restaurants and dinner theater for meals. All of them are fully corresponding to vegetarian, vegan, glute n-free dietary restrictions.

Think of a lively woman's dining area as a land restaurant. Each has a different atmosphere and themes, and the dishes offered are different. Another common point: I need to make a reservation and I want to make a reservation as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is possible to miss the popular time, so you may miss it.

Regarding alcohol, the era of packed drinks is over. In Virgo, the bar tab is paid in advance in front of Sail, and the amount is deducted from the final claim. If you use it, pay for each cup like other coast bars. There is no need to pay in advance, but if you pay in advance, the bar will often give you an extra charge.

Restaurants

If you want to eat multiple course dishes, there are many restaurants. The seven houses have a traditional "sitting and slow" atmosphere, but the atmosphere is unusual.

The lively woman's Italian restaurant "Extra Virgin" is a comfortable space with a little gorgeous feeling. There are five menus: Antipast, Afettati Misty (assorted Italian meat), second, pasta, and dessert.

Extra Virgin meatball appetizer. Ashley Koshiolk / The Point Guy

First of all, a stewed apellol Spritz and a small meatball? Meatballs with smoked mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and panchetta were the best. Next, we ordered a platter of Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, and Gorgonzola cheese Affettati Misti cheese boards and vegetarian Brussels with pepper, pepper and hazelnuts. I didn't really like the latter, but there's no doubt about cheese. Pasta chose potato gap, mushrooms, spinach, and truffle butter sauce. It was a magical taste.

I was hungry, so I pulled out the dessert, but I wanted to eat more because the server brought the cart to each table. The wine list is substantial, but I didn't drink.

GUNBAE, a Korean barbecue restaurant, designed by famous New York chef Kim Sohi, can sit down, depending on the size of the group. There is a circular booth surrounding the central grill, and the server cooks in front of you.

There are seaweed chips, seaweed salads, kimchi and mung bean chizumi, small dishes such as mixed seafood and condogs, bowls with plenty of vegetables, and kimchigi of pork belly. Main dishes include mushrooms, seasonal vegetables, squid, octopus and shrimp grills, marinated beef ribs, and chefs for chefs for ribs, pork roses and shrimp. There are also desserts such as black sesame granola, mini marshmallow, and miso candy.

While enjoying the appetizer (small bowl of seawee d-style salad), the server will lead the game while drinking sake. Other special drinks are also available at additional charges. I chose Jinro's grapefruit, watermelon juice and pop rock in a disco ball cup (and I liked it).

Gunbae surprised me. "I hate most meat and it's stingy for food." Not only did I find a Japanese cow option (plus $ 45) with a librous and sirloin from Miyazaki, but I also ordered a replacement about the taste. The meat was rich and was eaten, so I wanted to share it on a table. The crispy chicken dishes were also wonderful.

Options are divided into three sizes: small slabs, medium slabs, and large slabs. First of all, let's just try a ridiculous Wakamore. After waiting for the Kotinita Pibil (with smoked pork marinade, orange Habanero Pico de Gallo), proceed to black bean soup and chicken enchirada. Alternatively, roasted corn with spicy eyeoli and lime, shrimp with miso and new potatoes, roasted pepper Pobulano with plenty of vegan roast cone and raset potatoes, and roasted duck with a more and smoke rudo. You can choose.

Vegetarians, happy. Razzle Dazzle (Razzle Dazzle) was named from a modern blac k-an d-white dyeing style found in ships during World War II. Vegetarian Eric Kim Haugen, a judge of the Food Network's "Great Restaurant" program, was invented. The restaurant's menu, which offers brunch and dinner, has an original option for cruisers that refrain from meat.

I liked the brunch with the toasted avocado, a shiracha, watermelon radish, finger lime, toasted, with walnut gaspacho, cucumber, peppers, peppers, and roasted garlic crutons. And Pobulano Salsa, Paprika Vegennaise, Avocado and Potato Lean Burger. (Salads can be substituted, but the potatoes are delicious, and it is served in a design vessel that crushes a black solo cup.) Finally, I ordered a smoothie, but according to the bad service I wrote above, it didn't reach it.

Fried, green tomatoes on the resilient lady's "Dazzle Duzzle Dagle" menu. Ashley Koshiolec/The Points Guy

Razzle Dazzle is the only restaurant on the ship that was so interesting that I ate twice. For dinner, we ate "Green Goddess Avocado Salad" and "FRIED GREEN TOMATOES and OKRA with Chili Lime Spice and Chili Herb Sauce" as appetizers.

I chose two main dishes. Nashville's hot cauliflower farmer vegetable sauce and beet s-rich clicks, both are Vegan. I was a Polish, and I grew up with all kinds of fruits, vegetables and starch, but I had never eaten beets. I was very disappointed because it took a long time for the food to be brought and I didn't have enough time to taste it before going to the show.

Ashley Koshiolk/ The Point Guy

Feeling naughty? The menu also features lesser known meats such as red snapper, slow roasted lamb shank and seafood boil (additional $50). The restaurant also has a red bar, with drinks in collaboration with Cocktail Cartel.

Tequila, ginger, grapefruit, lime and bitters, served in a small popcorn bucket with a handful of popcorn.

Good food at Virgin Voyage's sturdy lady. ASHLEY KOSCIOLEK/THE POINTS GUY

I have very simple palates, so fancy food often gets me lost. But I was really impressed with Test Kitchen, a laboratory-like restaurant with a focus on presentation, with elements of molecular gastronomy. The original menu was created by chef Matt Lambert of The Musket Room in New York, and each time it rotates, it's a different experience.

When I ate there, the menu consisted of just six dishes - corn, salmon, beets, choice of shrimp or lamb, asparagus, and strawberries - with a side of food around each. We had cornbread with garlic spread and cream of corn and onion, sugar-marinated salmon and cucumber, beet ravioli with pesto and cashew nuts, lamb and eggplant pasta with zucchini, tagliatelle with shrimp and tomato, lobster soup, asparagus sorbet, egg yolk, cream, and champagne sauce with ginger, and strawberry dessert.

The beet dish was one of six dishes at the dinner at The Resilient Lady's Test Kitchen. ASHLEY KOSCIOLEK/THE POINTS GUY

Vegetarian options are also available. My table companion doesn't eat meat or fish, so instead of the lamb or shrimp options we had pumpkin juice and pumpkin and carrot risotto.

To me, the test kitchen is the ship's most impressive free option. It's only open for dinner, but for a fee, they also host mixology classes during the day, teaching you not only how to make drinks but also how to take photos for social media. #Millennials

The Wake, a 1960s barbecue joint on Virgin Voyages' Resilient Lady. ASHLEY KOSCIOLEK/THE POINTS GUY

For veteran cruisers who don't want a traditional feel in the main dining area, The Wake offers a 1960s barbecue atmosphere. Both brunch and dinner menus include meat and seafood, but some dishes are available at an extra cost.

Avocado Benedict from the brunch menu on The Wake "Resilient Lady" on Virgin Voyages.

I didn't have time to try dinner on The Wake, but I did enjoy brioche French toast with caramelized bananas, toasted pecans, and whipped cream at brunch. I also ordered the avocado Benedict, which I wasn't impressed with, but that's probably more to do with a dislike of certain textures than the quality of the food.

Other dishes on the menu included clam chowder, fennel and citrus salad, poached shrimp, steak and eggs, and soft-shell crab and crispy pork belly Benedict.

Virgin Voyages' Resilient Lady's "Another Rose" ends with a metaphorical trio. Ashley Kociolek/The Points Guy

The only free dining option on the Resilient Lady is a dinner theater show called "Another Rose," which appears at The Manor nightclub a few nights each cruise. For $50 per person, passengers can choose one of three seating arrangements: balcony seating, floor seating, or floor seating near the stage. That price gets you a 90-minute show and a four-course meal with three drinks.

The menu includes two appetizers (fried sweet potatoes with tamarind, coriander-mint chutney, yogurt and pomegranate seeds; tuna bomb with green goddess avocado dressing, spicy soy sauce and semolina puree); an entree (pan-seared sea bass with moily sauce, basmati rice and grilled okra; or braised short ribs with Kashmiri chili-coconut sauce, basmati rice and onion); and dessert.

Bars

I ate only a bite of dessert, but I was full. Cheesecake is the smallest in the world. There is also a vegetarian menu. (I couldn't eat raw tuna, so I ordered Veggie Apple Bomb on the second dish of the appetizer, but it was very delicious). The service timing was perfect, and it coincided with the show and seamless. The class was not so long. Instead, it was enough to see a little show without being distracted by food.

The ship's main coffee spot is The Grounds Club on Deck 7, and it's become part of my morning routine to stop by here. They sell a variety of coffee drinks, from espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos to macchiatos, mochas, and flat whites.

Some of the more interesting options include the Black Cat Fizz, a blend of Black Cat espresso, tonic, and orange, broken down by ice. The flavor wasn't my favorite, but overall it was a strangely refreshing drink. Tea and hot chocolate are also on the menu. A second coffee spot, the Ground Club, is located in the Galley Food Court on Deck 15. Both have dairy-free milk.

Resilient Lady activities

The ship's nightclub, the Mansion, has a main bar on the first floor, serving beer, wine, and cocktails. It can get busy on event nights, but a less crowded second bar is available on the upper deck. There's plenty of seating on both levels facing the stage and dance floor, so you won't miss any of the action.

Along the way, stop for a selfie in what crew members call the most Instagrammable space on the ship: a mirrored walkway inlaid with thousands of pure white lights.

On the first night of the voyage, I was in the Red Room, a two-story theater that can be configured in a variety of ways to accommodate different types of shows. I saw Persephone, a show about a torrid love affair between a Greek goddess and Hades, god of the underworld.

To fit Resilient Lady's Greek itinerary, Virgin's entertainment executives worked with House of Yes and Kaleidoscope to create the show. But it's cohesive. A group of phenomenal singers and dancers take to the main stage, and aerialists and pole dancers might be performing on either side of them, or a group of demons might be climbing the walls of "hell" near the back of the room.

The third new option is "Other Rose", and the passengers can knock off with one of the creators of the New York version of "Sleep No More" and enjoying one of the four classes in a private room. can. This show, the only option for a lively woman's meal, offers great performance and delicious meals. In the middle of the triangular relationship, it is forced to choose either two men loved by young women. After she got married, her husband fell in love with another man, and as a result, the atmosphere of the (metaphorical) trouss drifts.

Gratuities

The fourth, and the last new resident show "Mind Mangler" is a combination of magic and comedy, with "The Play Zatt Gors Monde Monde" and "Magic Gose Monde Monde". Uses a character developed by Mischef Comedy. This is one of the few shows that Virgin Woyaggge has acquired a license instead of creating a new show. As a result, the character of the land show, Mind Mungler, was seen on the resilient lady. Mind Mangler is a magician, but this show is a comedy rather than magic, and the audience helps the audience to help.

Wi-Fi

Cruiser's favorite Virgin Voyages is inherited from the first two boats of the two ships include Doragsho and Bingo Show, sponsored by exclusive Drag Queen Miss Titi Kaka. The "Miss Behve" show is a chaotic thing that reminds me of nothing to say. Characteristic themes such as PJ's First Night Party, Rubix Club in the 1980s, Red Scarlet Night, such as a completely consistent love story related to the goddess of the sailor and the octopus, which leads to a rav e-type challenge on the pool deck. There is also.

As part of a new concept called the festival stage, this craft also has a limited event. The musicians and comedians chose the audience, gathered a freestyle wrap about their lives on the spot, and invited everyone into the laughter. What is planned in the future is a comedy and magic hybrid, a group of songs, and a cappella, a finalist of the American Got Talent, who can do comedy routines alone.

Since the line pulled the controversial show "Never Sleep Alone" that debuted on Scarlet Lady, there's now room for live music throughout Resilient Lady. Talented duos and trios are providing tunes nightly in various bars and lounges.

Virgin Voyages fares include performance. This is why you will never see a daily service charge on your bill. And you do not need to tip the crew.

Electrical outlets

It's a good idea to have a few small bills to jostle the porters when they take your luggage at the pier. It's also a good idea to ask whoever provides you with room service (or champagne) and guided shore excursions.

Rugged Lady passengers get basic Wi-Fi access for free on two devices per person. The connection speeds are decent, but if you want to do more than just browse websites and check messages (like streaming or video calling), you'll need to upgrade to the paid premium Wi-Fi option. I had the premium version, and it was fast enough for streaming, movies, and uploading photos and videos.

Many of the Resilient Lady's public spaces, including the Ground Club and The Galley, pictured, are equipped with charging outlets. Ashley Koziolek/The Points Guy

Bottom line

All cabins are equipped with outlets for North America, USB, and universal (for all of Europe, the UK, and many other countries).

My balcony cabin had two USB ports and a North American outlet near the bed. The office and vanity area added two more USB ports (one of which was absorbed into the charging cable for the cabin tablet that controls the TV, curtains, and temperature), two North American outlets, and one universal outlet.

There are no outlets in the bathroom, so you have to use an electric razor or style your hair at the sink.

It's also worth noting that many of the public spaces, including the coffee bar and food court, have plenty of outlets for charging if you end up working remotely from the ship like me.

• All currency on board Virgin Voyages is dollars. Before boarding, you can link a credit card to your account (this can be done through the app before embarkation day) or deposit an amount in cash and use it to make purchases.

The belt is also used to scan you as you enter and exit the ship, and allows crew members to pinpoint your location when you use the shake for the champagne delivery service.

• Virgin Voyages ships are open to anyone 18 years of age or older, but the drinking age is 21 when the ship is anchored in international waters in the U. S. and in places such as Europe where the drinking age is 18.
• Virgin Voyages does not have an official dress code, encouraging passengers to come as they are, whether in a dress or jeans and a T-shirt. However, the average passenger enjoys looking smart and fashionable even when dressed up. There are no formal nights on board, but most people dress up a little nicer for dinner.
• Scarlet Night is a combination of patio show, pool party and nightclub entertainment that happens once per voyage. Other themed nights include a slumber party and an '80s bash, so pack accordingly.
• Ashley Kociorek, Virgin Voyages' spunky lady/The Points Guy
• While the layout, capacity and temperament are largely the same as its sister ships, the ship differentiates itself with fresh, new entertainment. From acrobatic, jaw-dropping comedy to singing and dancing performances with the cast, you won't be disappointed when you sail on this ship.

In addition to luxurious entertainment, you'll enjoy comfortable accommodations, first-class food and beverages, unique daily activities (bring your leg warmers and scrunchies for an '80s workout), and plenty of nostalgia to keep you entertained.
