I'm excited to sail on Brilliant this November and then again to Alaska next August.
Super useful video! Excited for our 2026 Brilliant Lady sailing!
Looking forward to All the new shows!!
Great videos bc they are jam packed with info I didn’t know. For example I have a newly booked cruise. Are you saying I can still get extras if I re book the cruise with your company.
Doing the Aruban Sunsets and Calm Cayman Days on Brilliant Lady in March. Can't wait!
Just watched this video on the big screen…great info. However, please work on the jump cuts within the presentation. Man, its super tough on the eyes.
Can’t wait! Will be on Brilliant Lady out of NYC in September! Thank You for your video! This is our 4th VV cruise with being on Scarlet & Valiant so I am looking forward to seeing the changes mentioned! Especially the food @Razzle Dazzle!! Didn’t think I could get more excited for our voyage but this makes me wanting for September to come now! Cheers!
Looks amazing
Can't wait for the MerMaiden and Alaska next year! Thanks for collecting and sharing so much helpful info.
Will you also be sharing the lineup for the MerMaiden as soon as it becomes available for Rockstars tomorrow? That would be super helpful for planning for non Rockstars.
Looking forward to the food!
Hi David – we are VV virgins, going on our first VV cruise Sept. 23-Oct. 3 this year, so looking forward to it! Have already been making good use of your very informative VV Insider website and of course the vids. I'm wondering about Panama Canal sailings in the future? Have always wanted to do that.

Well groomed and open minded..can't wait to meet people from around the globe😍 group crew🌐🌬️🔮💜☮️🕉️💫
Looking forward to EVERYTHING as I will be a VV Virgin on their October 3-16 sailing, departing from Quebec City! I already have my disco outfit. And of course, my red shirt!
How about the shuffle board tables long like Scarlett Lady or short? Enjoy your videos.
I'm on Brilliant lady later this year I just rebooked and saved almost $1000. The cruise is on the solo sailor deals right now. Anybody doing the brilliant cruises as a solo, call to check on those savings!
I'm surprised that they didn't reconfigure or add more pools since that seems to be such an issue for many.
Can’t wait to cruise on Brilliant Lady. Sailing from the West Coast going to Alaska. August 2026 can’t come soon enough—410 days and counting. 😊
O my. A black light party on a VV. that’s risky….. 😅
So excited to have got a ticket for the August launch party in Portsmouth! See you there!
I am considering the Southern Caribbean cruise on Brilliant Lady in Feb.
Excellent info! This is my first trip on a Virgin Ship! Really looking forward to the Brilliant Lady!
I can't wait to see the new shows and restaurant tweaks. Plus… the shops- and new ones?
I can’t wait for my Alaskan cruise on Brilliant Lady next year!
The murder mystery show and food I'm looking forward to
I did a transatlantic cruise on the Valliant Lady last year and loved it. My only suggestions to Virgin would be to remove the cabanas from the deck (they just take up loads of room and obstruct the view) and turn down the music at the pool – it was consistently far, far too loud to the point of being antisocial. Virgin was really great in every other way and I'd love to sail with them again. Scarlet night was a blast!
i'm confused about the Rojo by Razzle Dazzle thing- i've seen menus for Razzle Dazzle such as dinner and brunch, but if it's a new restaurant, does that mean it has ADDITIONAL menus or a DIFFERENT menu? Is it still Razzle Dazzle but with new additional Spanish cuisine or is it just a whole new restaurant basically?!
also,…WHERE are the slightly smaller sea terrace cabins? Like are they only up front ? what deck? I tried to look on the website and start a booking but it wouldnt show me.
This is really tempting us to try a virgin cruise- thank you! 😊
We are booked on Brilliant Lady for our 1st Virgin Voyage. I'm SO excited to experience everything Virgin has to offer.
Hey there! We’re really excited because we’re booked on the Alaska run for the Brilliant on August 27, 2026! It’s our very first Virgin Voyages cruise, and we decided to go all out with a Rockstar Suite. We stumbled upon your videos, and they totally resonated with us. Can’t wait to see more of your experiences on Virgin Voyages!
We have just booked brilliant lady for next year and cannot wait !! Just discovered your channel and love it ! 🚢
First time cruiser on virgin. Are the Rockstar cabins really worth it?
Hi! Thanks for the all the great info! We will be Virgins on VV next year when the Brilliant Lady sails out of Los Angeles, CA, USA! We are super excited that Virgin is finally making it out here!!!
