When I got on board the Valiant Lady, I could feel the energy right away. It was like a big party with everyone having a great time! There were so many things to do, like chatting at the bars, playing fun games, or even playing old-school video games. It was non-stop fun!

You know what was really cool? The ship was buzzing with this exciting energy that made you want to join in. And if you were into making new friends, this was the perfect place. There were so many chances to hang out and have a blast with other guests.

What made Valiant Lady stand out were all the fun twists they added to the usual stuff. Sure, you might have played games on other cruises, but here, they made it extra exciting with surprises!

Thinking back on my trip, one thing that really stood out was how everyone was welcome and accepted on Valiant Lady. And our fellow sailors were a great range of the young and the young at heart.  I was speaking to a lady who was 84 years young and she was having the time of her life!

Right from the start, you could see how diverse the performers were. Each night's show was a celebration of different cultures and talents. From different parts of the world to all different sexualities, everyone just fitted in nicely.  It was so cool to see everyone being represented!

And you know what else? There are even bathrooms for everyone, no matter who you are. It was nice to see the ship making sure everyone felt respected and comfortable.

Let me tell you, the crew on Valiant Lady were like sunshine on a cloudy day. Their happiness and excitement were so contagious! Whether you were watching a show, having dinner, or just walking around, their positive vibes made everything more fun.

And you could see how well they all worked together. It was like they were one big team, making sure everything ran smoothly. Their teamwork was really impressive!

Talking to the crew felt like chatting with old pals. They were so interested in making sure I had a great time on board. Even if there were a few little bumps in the road, their upbeat attitude made everything better.

From the cheerful "good mornings" to the helpful service in the restaurants, the crew really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a memorable trip. Their dedication to making guests happy was really something special.

I was so excited to find out about all the cool entertainment options on Virgin Voyages' Valiant Lady. They really know how to shake things up when it comes to onboard fun!

I could feel the energy buzzing all around. And let me tell you, the entertainment was unlike anything I'd ever seen! They had these daring shows that were a bit risque but so much fun to watch. And guess what? You could even join in on the action!

But that's not all. They also had these super quirky workout classes that made exercising feel like a party. Picture this: '80s-themed aerobics with crew members leading the way. It was a blast!

The best part? Scarlet night is the biggest party at sea.  Everyone got involved and some of us even ended up in the pool.  Fully clothed!

First off, the cabins were like something from the future! They had these lights that could change colours, and you could even use tablets to order room service or watch movies. It was like having your own little tech paradise!

And the design? It was so sleek and modern. The furniture was all cool and contemporary, and they even had these fun pops of colour that made everything feel so lively.

Even though the cabins weren't huge, they made up for it with all the neat stuff inside. They had everything you needed, like shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. Plus, the showers had doors, which made them feel extra fancy!

Now, let's talk about the beds. They were called Seabeds, and get this—they could turn into sofas! So, during the day, you could lounge around and chill out. And if you had a balcony cabin, you could even kick back in a hammock!

One of the coolest things about Valiant Lady was its dining options. They weren't just your ordinary restaurants—they were like stepping into a whole new world! From funky experiences to secret bars, every meal was a fun surprise that made my taste buds dance with joy.

And let me tell you about the exclusive events! They were so special, like mixology classes and fancy nights out. It made me feel like a VIP, getting to be part of these unforgettable moments.

I had to check out this one restaurant called Razzle Dazzle, and boy, was it a treat! They had this secret menu that wasn't so secret anymore, but it was still full of surprises. Every dish was inspired by the places we were sailing to, making it a real culinary adventure!

And get this—the ship even had little nods to its history! From markers showing how it was built to the way the cabins were numbered, you could really feel the craftsmanship and love that went into making Valiant Lady.

I also loved how the ship was eco-friendly. They gave us these cool bracelets made from recycled ocean plastic called "The Band." They weren't the fanciest things to look at, but they were super handy for opening doors and buying stuff onboard. Plus, it felt good knowing we were helping the planet!
