Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Cruise Food Review | Best Restaurants & Must-Try Dishes!

Hello lovelies!

If there’s one thing that truly blew me away on my Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Caribbean cruise (January 2025)—it was the food! From fresh, high-quality ingredients to incredible restaurant experiences, this cruise delivered on every level. It was so impressive that I had to dedicate an entire vlog to it!

In this video, I’m sharing my honest reviews of the best restaurants onboard, including my top food highlights, what I’d recommend ordering, and some useful tips to help you make the most of your dining experience. Whether you’re looking for healthy options, indulgent treats, or unique foodie experiences, this cruise has it all!

Here’s what you can expect:
🍽️ The Galley – A casual, open-all-day dining hall with everything from sushi and tacos to omelettes, bagels, and full English breakfasts.

🥩 The Wake – A fancy steakhouse where we enjoyed an elegant evening meal AND a delicious brunch (which I actually preferred!).

🍝 Extra Virgin – My absolute favourite! One of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had—authentic, fresh, and full of flavour.

👨‍🍳 Test Kitchen – A unique dining experience where you can see your food being prepared. Smaller plates but big on flavour—loved the venison and chocolate dessert!

🥢 Razzle Dazzle – A creative take on Chinese food. Not usually my go-to cuisine, but the fried shrimp with walnuts was amazing!

🎬 Final Night Treats – A cosy movie night with fresh pizza, donuts, and cakes—because why not finish the trip on a sweet note?

I also share real vlog footage of us dining, so you can get a true feel for the vibe on board, plus insider tips on booking and getting the most out of your meals.

If you’re thinking about booking a Virgin Voyages cruise, or you’re just here for the food inspiration, I hope this helps! Let me know in the comments, which restaurant would you try first?

Metallica plays two versions of "Master of Puppets" live. One version ends before the slow and soften part of the song - and the other one is the complete version as it was released on the same entitled album.
Since its release it has almost always been a fixed part of Metallica's live show.

The Best Solos Ever Reader's Choice:
The solo of "Master of Puppets" reached the 51st place in the "100 Best Solos Ever Reader's Choice" in the september 1998 issue of Guitar World.

The covers:
Primus recorded a cover of "Master of Puppets". Holochaust and Limp Bizkit just covered the song during their live shows.

The samples:
"Master of Puppets" has been sampled by Anthrax for "I'm The Man!" and by The Pulp for "Metal Techno".

Subject matter:
It is about the drug (especially heroin) addiction and its consequences.

Interpretation possibility #2:
If the song refers to the album's cover, the song could stand for how the government controls soldiers' lives and send them into death. Depending on the lyrics the cover artwork would better fit to "Disposable Heroes".

The government: The hands with strings which are connected to
-the white crosses on the ground. The hands are in the sky because
-in the figurative sense the government stands above everything.
-The government conrols - pulls the strings.

The soldiers: Stand for the white crosses which are used for the burial of
-deceased soldiers of war. At the cross on the left of the cover there is
-an army helmet and at the cross in middle of the cover there is an army
-identification tag hanging on. The high grown grass could maybe hint at
-that the graves are old or that the nameless soldiers are falling into oblivion.


Metallica about "Master of Puppets"
Kirk Hammett: I used a Mesa-Boogie Mark 2C amp and a black Randy Rhoads custom Jackson guitar. For the four-bar fill at the beginning of the song, the rest of the guys wanted something high and screeching, but I came up with something a bit more percussive and riff-like, a flatted fifth-type figure. I got this real raunchy, over distorted sound which clashed well with the tight rythm sound James had. James played the first solo in that song, which is a great solo. I worked on the next solo for a couple of days - getting it tight was a real task for me. While recording the track, my hand accidently pulled a string off the neck, and it grounded on the neck pick-up, giving me something like a high D. It sounded like I slid up to a super high note that isn't even on the neck, so we left it. For the next solo we used backwards guitar parts. To get them I played a bunch of guitar parts that were in the same key as the song and laid them down on quarter-inch tape. Then we flipped the tape over and edited it, so we had two or three minutes of backwards guitar. We put it in the last verse of the song.

James Hetfield: I think we wanted to write another song like "Creeping Death" - with open chords carried by the vocals and a real catchy chorus. On "Master of Puppets" [album] we started getting into the longer, more orchestrated songs. It was more of a challenge to write a long song that didn't seem long. The riff for that song was pretty messy - constantly moving it works good live; people love to scream "Master!" a couple of times. (source: GuitarWorld issue of '91)

Virgin Voyages has had a rush of cruise reviews but there are, in my view, 6 issues that most Virgin Voyages cruise reviews have under-played or glossed over, so in this I talk and show the 6 things that surprised me most about Virgin Voyages having cruised on them, are not the ones that I thought I would have at all - also I think that have not been spoken about enough.

I travelled as a guest of Virgin Voyages on a 4-night cruise out of Portsmouth UK. So, in this I also answer if I will be using my own money to cruise with them having experienced Scarlet Lady and these 6 issues that I feel have been underplayed, not discussed enough and reported on.

ABOUT TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS: If you want to get cruising right, Tips For Travellers makes it easy to plan and have the incredible cruise experiences you dream of every time. All my Tips For Travellers advice, tips and tricks tips draw on everything that I have learnt on the 77 cruises I have done to date.

In our review of Virgin Voyages XL Sea Terrace, 11350Z, we look at whether it is worth upgrading beyond the standard Sea Terrace/Balcony Room, and help you avoid a MAJOR mistake we made.

When we boarded, we got a surprise, and for the first time on Virgin, not in a good way, our beloved Hammock on the Balcony had been replaced with a Bird Cage Chair, was this an improvement. No!

OUR FIRST VIKING RIVER CRUISE
Viking is synonymous with river cruising, so when the opportunity came to sail the Seine River on the 8-day Paris and the Heart of Normandy itinerary, we jumped at the chance.
We have sailed on Viking Ocean cruises, so we are used to the line's level of service. The cruise line makes sure that all guests are well taken care of from the moment they arrive at the airport. From transfers to time ashore, the crew and staff offer exceptional and tailored service to everyone onboard.

The cruise line offers plenty of included amenities that make travel abroad seamless and efficient. Embarkation is a breeze, and getting on and off the ship at each port is casual and simple, with no lines or security hassles.

Along with transfers, the cruise line includes a tour of each port, WiFi, onboard specialty coffees and teas, bottled water, and soft drinks, and all onboard meals. Beer and wine are also included at meals. While the inclusions are great, the ships do have few onboard amenities. There is no fitness center, pool, or spa, although there is a small library.

We were also surprised at the limited onboard enrichment offered during our trip. Besides a local artist giving a lecture on impressionism, the program director gave all of the lectures. Mia was great, fun, and personable, but we expect more in-depth offerings regarding the itinerary and France.

The tours, too, were a mixed bag. We thought all of the tour guides were fantastic. They were knowledgeable and engaging. While we enjoyed many of the included tours, we were disappointed in our bus tour of Paris.

When evaluating the food for this Viking River cruise review, we would say the food quality was better overall than most mainstream cruise lines. Menus were quite limited, but they offered more upscale offerings tailored to the region. Also, we were surprised that both onboard eateries served the same menu.

Each day, the dining times are on a set schedule, with open seating for all meals. So, you will get to know the roughly 160 other guests on the ship quite well.

Our cozy veranda stateroom offered all of the typical features of a larger ship’s room in a tighter space. The bathroom had luxury bath products and heated tile floors. We have plenty of clothes space and additional storage for our gear. There was a small table and chair I was able to use as my office on Viking Radgrid, and having the veranda was a nice touch to watch the banks of the river roll by from the comforts of our room.

The 8-day itinerary included two days in Paris, a morning of self-exploration in La Roche Guyon, a walking tour of the historic city of Rouen, retracing the steps of allied heroes at the beaches of Normandy, and a warm and sunny full day at the quaint village of Les Andelys. Along with included tours, we also opted for optional additional tours of Versailles and the Louvre. Our Seine river cruise also included a tour of Napoleon's chateau and time sailing along this river's historic banks.
