Be prepared to start with the eatery’s riotous drinking game led by the servers who wear funky street-style K-pop threads. Ingredients - thin sliced Wagyu beef, short rib, pork belly, seafood, and vegetables - are cooked on a tiny flameless grill built into your circular table. Gunbae (the only authentic Korean barbecue at sea) is another culinary experience worth a visit. I topped it off with a chocolate tamale and chocolate taco (neither what you’d expect) and a sip of a smokey whiskey with Mexican chocolate. Enchilada del Pollo showcases the simple dish while the Pescado Zarandeado included so much halibut, lobster, scallops, and (giant) prawns that it had to be shared. It was clearly the ship’s most Insta-worthy spot but the elevated Mexican menu - mostly small plates - was enchanting too. Pink Agave’s entryway (pictured) is filled with giant silver and glass bulbs, making you feel like you’re walking the red carpet with dozens of old-fashioned flashbulbs going off. The restaurant’s design includes a foodie version of the Periodic Table of Elements and even though it’s a prix fixe menu, servers (who wear white lab coats) ask about food allergies and vegan/vegetarian preferences before service, even switching things up for a tablemate allergic to at least one ingredient in every course (she loved their creative solutions). Each meal has multiple courses based on one element that ties all the courses together (ours was mushroom but that included the best farm-raised venison I’ve eaten and a chocolate-infused dessert that I can’t forget).
There are more than 20 eateries (but not a single buffet), including everything from fine dining to experimental gastronomy to juice bars and the winkingly named stand, Lick Me Till…Ice Cream (try the salted blue corn cone with orange ricotta ice cream and you will not be disappointed).Īt the first Michelin-star restaurant at sea, Test Kitchen, the ever-changing innovative menu features smart molecular gastronomy. Hands down, Virgin’s Scarlet Lady had the best food I’ve ever had on a cruise ship.

If you book one of the larger Rock Star suites, you also gain access to Richard’s Rooftop, an exclusive section of the upper deck featuring private hot tubs and a bar with VIP treats (like free champagne at bon voyage). On at-sea days the pools and hot tubs were well occupied, but days in port, relatively empty. The deck shares space with two hot tubs as well, for further relaxation and incredible views.Įlsewhere, the Scarlet Lady features the largest hot tub at sea, a pool-size space with various depths and seating options. I discovered that the Athletic Club is also a bar, so you can get drunk and watch other people get in shape or try chess strategies with the giant-size pieces. court fenced basketball court, and a boxing ring are surrounded by a variety of playground throwbacks too fun to feel like fitness (seesaws, circular rope swings, and a DIY burpee station). I did sunrise yoga and a mediation class but spent more time playing on the athletic deck, where a massive gym and full. There’s a sense of play and whimsy throughout the ship and activities. Even though Jennifer Affleck (née Lopez), is helping create Sailor (Virgin for guests) experiences with an emphasis on well-being and fitness, you’d be hard pressed to call Virgin a wellness cruise - it’s just too much fun.
