Food to Elevate Your Mood
The Wake, Razzle Dazzle. Pink Agave, Extra Virgin, Gunbae
The Wake
The Wake brings a modern twist to the classic chophouses of the mid-20th century. Once you’ve made your way down the grand staircase, you’ll enter a world that harks back to the old steakhouse, three-martini-lunch days of Madison Avenue ad men.
Razzle Dazzle
The go-to option for cool and casual dining on board.
Boasting a bold interior and a daring new dinner menu, this happening spot offers our creative twist on some classic American comfort go-to’s. Razzle Dazzle strikes a culinary sweet spot between balance and decadence, with a menu that skews partly toward veggie-conscious dishes, and partly toward meats, sweets, and gluttonous treats.
Pink Agave
Inspired by Mexico’s red-hot culture and sexy food scene, the experience at Pink Agave goes far beyond the usual taco. Shareable, social, and spicy — it transports you to the vibrant streets of Mexico City on an immersive odyssey of local cuisine. With the largest selection of tequila and mezcal at sea, and DJ beats to amp up the energy, we won’t judge if you order one of everything… and end up dancing on tables by the end of the night.
Extra Virgin
From shared antipasti to fresh pasta, the flavors of Italy come alive at Extra Virgin. Try the grilled meats, savor the seafood, then get some homemade gelato from the Affogato cart… or a digestivo to really make your night complete. Also, serving new menu items exclusive to each of our award-winning lady ships for a mouthwatering culinary experience as uniquely flavorful as Italy itself.
Gunbae
If you’re into hands-on meat grilling and soju drinking, our Korean BBQ is *the* perfect spot to do all that. Every meal at Gunbae begins with a Korean drinking game that includes a complimentary shot of soju. And since we all have that one friend who insists on being the meat master, this is the time to roast the master while the master roasts the meat. GUNBAE!

Virgin’s Scarlet Lady set out on its inaugural cruise in 2021. It’s their first adults-only ship. If you want trendy food, late night sexy shows and a tattoo? Scarlet Lady could be for you.
Virgin has genuinely tried to do something different.
The Scarlet Lady Cruise Ship Offers a Hip Adult-Only Experience
From the moment you board, the ship sets the mood. You walk into a glass-encased entrance which refracts light in a stream of rainbow colors, leading into what Virgin calls “the roundabout.” There’s a DJ spinning vinyl records at great volume, people are sitting around sipping cocktails, tattooed baristas hurry back and forth — it’s designed to be like a hip hotel lobby, not your typical cruise ship atrium.
Scarlet Lady is more similar to a W Hotel than it is to a cruise ship, from the mood lighting in the corridors and the design of the cabins to the main reception and the dining venues. It manages to deftly combine this with nautical touches and a nod to tradition, however. The promenade deck wraps right around the ship, it’s got seating, bars and restaurants, creating a buzzing atmosphere on a warm Caribbean night.
With a maximum capacity of 2,770 passengers, Scarlet Lady could be a loud, hectic ship, but Virgin Voyages has gone to great lengths to make sure noise is kept at bay, with soundproofing and vibration-reducing systems in cabins and public areas.
Virgin Voyages Has Put a Lot of Thought into Scarlet Lady Activities, Cabins and Restaurants
The Virgin way is not just show. Special attention has been given to the food, which is exceptional. There is no main dining room, and each restaurant gets its own galley, executive chef and team, meaning both the food and the service is outstanding. essentially a food hall at sea.
The entertainmentis spectacular — a show called Duel Reality, which is a riff on Romeo & Juliet/West Side Story, with some of the most amazing acrobatics.
Staff are cheery and empowered – sleeves rolled up, tattoos on display, piercings and stylish haircuts de rigeur. There’s a vibe onboard this ship like no other. That’s a “rockstar” in Virgin parlance, and really that’s how the ship and the crew make you feel.

Drinks On Board
Drinks Credit Plan
One of the most common questions among those planning a cruise is, Are drinks included? Virgin Voyages has gone the extra mile with its inclusions and offers a range of free basic beverages that include branded sodas to all passengers. This is a notch above the standard water-tea-coffee offerings in most other lines.
Alcoholic drinks are to be purchased separately and drink and beverage packages are not offered. Virgin Voyages drink costs are comparable to other cruise lines, however, and the prices include tips, so there are no surprises when settling the bill.
Scarlet Lady onboard credit plans offer upwards of $150 per cabin, depending on cabin type and travel dates.
