Yes I wasn't sure before I went, but it was Fantastic! Will I go again? ...perhaps, but I do miss my HAL ships too much. Oh yes, ONE thing with Virgin I did not understand: the soap in the bathroom was BLACK! I never worked out if that was a joke or serious, so I bought a normal(!) soap in port and used that instead...
That black soap was weird!
Stumbled across your videos while looking for Virgin Voyages reviews since we sail in a month! So informative and y'all are such fun to watch! Can't wait to go now!!!
Oh brilliant thanks for finding us! We are booked on Valiant Lady next month and are really looking forward to it!
Thanks once more for a fab vlog of Scarlet Lady, Loved it !!! I must sat the hammock has me wanting to go on Her all the more.
I am sure i have watched a vlog of Explorer 2, and some balcony cabins have a hammock on them, We are booked on ex 2 for next July ( fingers crossed!) and i will be 1st one to try it.!
Well cant wait for your next adventure so keep us informed and till then, Take care.💛🚢🚢
Thanks Janice! Yes Explorer 2 does have them on deluxe balconies I think. We have some cabin and hotel reviews next then we will have our Cunard vlogs out!
These videos definitely sold it for me, cannot wait to experience the ship!
That's great! Thanks so much for watching!
Just subscribed! Watched all this series & thought you make a great team! Very entertaining & fun as well as informative. Cruising on Valiant Lady in October so great info, thanks!
Thanks for subscribing! We are cruising on Valiant Lady very soon so a new vlog series all about Valiant will be out soon too! 😀
It's always a vloging good experience perusing your travels! Seasons greetings from South Africa!!
Thanks so much! Seasons greetings to you too! 😀
Hello, I just started watching your videos and enjoyed theses last ones on the Scarlet Lady
so much that I have now subscribed. You both are so entertaining and I seem to be always
laughing (which I love to do). Thank you both, and I am working my way backwards thru your
videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for watching and so glad you have enjoyed them and subscribed. 😃
Do do circ de solei its amazing!
Just wonderful Carole and Paul, as always
Your vlogs and thoughts are always very much appreciated, and it seems to have certainly whetted your appetite for more. As you know, we have booked for Valiant Lady in July next year, and a lot of that is down to you, for your great vlogs. Always been a traditional cruiser before, but Think to mix it ups every now and again will be good for us. Got all of my booking info now, and transfers to the ship and back sorted - so very much looking forward to it. I hope one day to bump into you two on a cruise

Thanks for your lovely comment! We like to try different cruise lines and glad we did. We have pencilled Valiant Lady in for next year too. Agree it would be great to meet on a cruise one day! 😀
Another great series. We enjoyed this one as much as all the others, although I am disappointed with not seeing Paul go down a helter skelter at the end 😂
Thanks so much! Lol that would of been a perfect ending! 🤣🤣🤣
A glowing review of Scarlet Lady, so glad you had such a wonderful time. I really enjoyed this series of vlogs, informative and fun as always. On reflection it wouldn't be my first choice of ship, however if the destination and price was right I'd be interested to try for the food and entertainment.. The Dock House outside terrace looked like the perfect pre-dinner drinks venue. Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year to you both and I hope you have a fantastic year of cruising.😘
That's exactly how we felt when we booked, and glad we did. Virgin prices can be crazy but this 4 day cruise was affordable. We are keeping our eyes on Valiant Lady for next year, good to try something different, we like to mix it up! 😀
Wish they had a slide for disembarking...that would be awesome 👌
Lol yes that would of finished the cruise perfectly! 🤣🤣🤣
Fascinating, entertaining and informative.......I love your vlogs and this one was especially interesting being a new cruise line. Thank you for sharing this with us 👍 Vik
Thanks so much Viktor for watching, great to hear you enjoyed them! 😍
Loving these videos- lots of fun , while also giving lots of information. Thank you and keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing your adventures in 2022 and Happy New Year ! xx
Thanks Heather that's great to hear! Happy New Year to you too! 😀
Bahahahahaha You are too funny Paulie Morgan as Carole calls you! So lucky for an invite to the bridge!!!
Lol thanks! Yes we were very lucky! 😍
Thank you both , really enjoyed the series lots of great tips 👏👍
Your welcome Peter, thanks for taking the time to watch! 😀
Happy new year to you both. Thanks for sharing your holidays with us xx
Your welcome! Happy New Year to you too! 😍
Hi there ....just watched all the vlogs on The Scarlet Lady ...have debated whether to go on a cruise for years but having seen your experiences and how much fun you both had... yep I think Virgin is for my husband and I. Thank you very much for great content. PS lovely to see Jamie 😃😃😃
Oh excellent! Go with an open mind and you will have a blast!
Thanks Again Paul and Carol on this Virgin series
Your welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi both,
Looks very exciting cruise!
Does Virgin have traditional restaurants with tablecloths!! As on P& O? All seemed to be like cafes?
Thanks,again for showing video.
It was great fun. Yes they do have restaurants like that with tablecloths, the Wake and Agave which we touched on in previous episodes. The Galley featured in this one is more of a buffet type restaurant.
More great vlogs, happy new year to you both and hope to see you on the Iona Monday 🤞
Thanks so much Ross. Yes hopefully see you on board! 😀
Thanks you both for doing the videos I really love them . Hope you had a good Christmas and all the best to you and your family for the new year .
Thanks Kieran glad you enjoyed them! All the best for 2022 too! 😀
Love your vlogs . When’s your next cruise? Happy new year
Thanks! Next one booked is in April.
Really enjoy your video 🥂
Thanks so much for watching! 😍
We just booked ! I can’t wait !!!!
Oh brilliant, what itinerary?
It will be on The Valiant lady the sister ship to the Scarlet Lady . We leave out of Miami and and go to Puerto Plata , San Juan Puerto Rico, Saint Croix and Bimini . Love your videos ! Thank you so much !
Oh that will be awesome! We are on Valiant Lady next month only for 3 days but really looking forward to it!
Cant wait to see your video on that !
Those videos should be out end of March! 😃
A nice episode, Paul and Carole ☺️
You absolutely made the right decision giving up dinner for that sunset and tasty beverages.
I’m in the same camp that Paul was discussing, that it seems superficial/gimmicky- I guess we will just have to try it to see for ourselves.
Thanks Bob. Sunsets at sea are just the best! Somethings are gimmicky but a lot do work. Definitely do try them, we will again when the right price and itinerary comes up! 😀
I was septical too Carole, but having watched your series I am won over, if the price is manageable. I am a solo traveler, what do you think my experience would be like? Would be interested to hear your thoughts, and perhaps Jamie's too, as I believe he was travelling solo?
I was on Scarlet Lady Solo, was great. Met friends for life. Booked Valiant Lady solo too.
Agree price is key, and we were very happy with what we paid. It was a very happy and sociable ship so would imagine it would be good for solo travellers. @travelblogjamie may be able to add his thoughts?
@@travelswithlizzylou Thanks for your thoughts :)
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Thanks for your reply :) Happy Cruising in the New Year
So as I did not see you go to a port, it must have been a cruise to nowhere? Hope you enjoyed the 4 days at sea. Good wishes
It was a seacation. Thanks we did 😀
I'm glad you both enjoyed it but from all be vlogs we've watched it just seem Virgin went out of their way to be different for different's sake. And it's expensive and more then we would want to pay. It will be interesting to see if they get repeat business after the novelty and gimmicks wear off.
Yes good point! We will certainly be looking for the right price again 😀
This one finished, where next?
We have some hotel and cruise cabin videos coming out next week.or so then it's Cunard! 😀
You too are so cute x
Thanks you are very kind😊😊
Was the ship at full capacity? Thanks for the vlogs. You have convinced me that I will never get on one of his ships. Can’t stand Richard Branson anyway.
Lol its definitely not for everyone! 🤣 The ship was not at full capacity.
I've just watched all your episodes on the scarlet Lady. Loved and laughed with you both, especially your Pauly. Please forgive me for saying but I just wish that Paul would treat Carole to a new hair cut and style. Happy Cruising from a other Carol Morgan.
Thanks for watching Carol, glad you enjoyed them. I love Carole just the way she is! 😀
Oh my God what a rude comment about Caroles hair! I watch and think, I wish I suited long hair. Sorry but had to comment....binge watching your videos at the moment. Your hair is lovely Carole xx
I would not i am of a age that this ship is far too modern for me
It is certainly not for everyone, particularly if you like a more traditional cruise ship. 😀
I'll wager that your subcriber number will quadruple in no time if you would only put a wireless mic on Paul. It's darn near impossible to hear him. He's such a soft talker!
Thanks for the feedback will take that on board!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Pun intended…😜
Strange, I hear him perfectly well, but I do listen thru' Apple earphones..
