Scarlet Lady

Richard's Rooftop sits at the very front of the top deck and pays homage to Sir Richard Branson. It's reserved for guests in RockStar and Mega RockStar Quarters. Loungers line the windows, with round daybeds, catamaran-style nets and a hot tub on each side. Richard's Rooftop Bar serves the whole space, and there are restrooms and charging points right there. Danny calls out the little design details, like ledges built in to rest your drink.

The Athletic Club fills the aft end of the top decks. It starts with an outdoor boxing ring, punching bags and park-style fitness equipment, next to the Training Camp studio with TRX and kettlebells. Further aft are daybeds with net seats, seesaws and swings, a sport court for basketball and soccer, giant foosball tables and cornhole. At the very back are two big bars, a hot tub and a triple catamaran net high above the wake.

The Galley is Virgin's answer to the buffet, set up like a food hall with made-to-order counters, all included. There's Well Bread for fresh bakes, the Burger Bar with an Impossible burger, All Day Breakfast, the Diner and Dash, Bento Baby, Let's Taco About It, Noodle Around and Hot Off the Press paninis, plus rotating food-cart pop-ups. Sodas, still and sparkling water are complimentary, and there's an outdoor deck aft for dining with a view.

Gunbae sits on the aft port side of The Galley and serves classic Korean barbecue. Scarlet Lady has no main dining room, so Gunbae is one of a series of sit-down restaurants included in the fare. Every table is a booth with a grill in the middle, so the group cooks together, or the crew will happily cook for you. The ultra-modern room also has window booths that look out over the ocean.

Extra Virgin is Scarlet Lady's Italian restaurant and one of the biggest hits on board. Everything is made from scratch, including the handmade pasta, and the menu runs from appetizers and salads to cheeses and main courses like sea bass. Danny calls it a fresh, modern take on Italian food. Like the other sit-down restaurants, Extra Virgin is included in the fare, so it's easy to come back more than once during a voyage.

At the aft end of the ship, The Dock House is a large lounge with a bar, booths and chargers, and it opens onto The Dock outside. The Dock has its own bar, with flag service at the tables, daybeds and low chairs facing the wake. One deck below is The Wake, the included steakhouse, with a grand piano and upgrade options like a seafood tower or tomahawk steak. It also serves breakfast and brunch.

Redemption Spa is large for a ship this size. The Thermal Suite is an extra-cost day or voyage pass and includes a warm hydrotherapy pool, a warm plunge and two cold plunge pools, heated marble loungers, an ocean-view sauna, a mud room, a steam room with a rainforest shower and a Himalayan salt room. Treatments range from Swedish, bamboo and hot stone massages to facials and body wraps, with a couples suite that has its own soaking tub.

Pink Agave is Scarlet Lady's modern Mexican restaurant, entered through a striking doorway of glass bubbles. Inside are booths along the walls, corner booths, a bar and high-top tables for ten that make dinner feel social. One wall holds a big tequila and mezcal collection, and the bar offers mezcal tastings and pairings. Like the other restaurants it's included in the fare, with a few optional upgrade items on the menu for a splurge.
