Shari Marsh, travel expert and owner of  Cruise Holidays Land & Sea, joins Ken of Ask A Real Travel Expert for a review of Shari’s first cruise aboard Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady. Shari is pleasantly surprised to discover some of the unique aspects of this cruise line and Virgin Voyage’s approach to the industry. Shari details the pros and cons of her stateroom, the ship and her amenities. Of particular note is the dining, with seven high end dining venues: they are some of the best at sea according to Shari. Entertainment ranges from cruise line standard to edgy. Shari discusses the atmosphere on board and the types of guests Virgin is looking to attract versus the actual guests on board. Looking for a more active younger clientele, the ship boasts perhaps the finest fitness programs and equipment found at sea. Shari gives an honest review of her stateroom and has advice for guests looking to upgrade to a suite. Another pleasant surprise is Virgin’s private beach. And finally Shari wraps up with a shout out to Virgin for the best, most entertaining, Muster Drill program she has ever experienced..
