    Beach Club at Bimini

    BahamasPort

    Virgin Voyages' beach club sits on North Bimini, 50 miles east of Miami, alongside the Resorts World development that shares the pier. Ships tie up at Bimini's cruise berth and the club is a short walk or shuttle away - a big pool, DJ decks and a bar-heavy layout aimed at adults, since Virgin sails 18-and-over only. Beach and pool access come with the sailing; drinks, daybeds and cabanas are charged.

    • The beach club pool and its DJ sessions
    • Snorkelling the wreck of the Sapona off South Bimini
    • The Healing Hole, a mineral spring in the mangroves
    • Resorts World's marina, casino and restaurants
    Getting ashore
    Ships dock at the Resorts World Bimini pier; the beach club is a few minutes away on foot or by shuttle.

About the Ship

What Travelers Say About Scarlet Lady

Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Scarlet Lady sailing. Distilled from 167 traveler threads, Cruise Critic member reviews and travel blogs.

Scarlet Lady is Virgin Voyages' debut ship and the flagship of its adults-only (18+), no-kids concept, carrying up to about 2,762 'Sailors' at roughly 110,000 GT. It deliberately throws out cruise conventions: no buffet (replaced by The Galley food hall), no formal nights, and no children aboard. The result is a sophisticated, boutique-hotel feel that bundles Wi-Fi, gratuities, all restaurants, soda, and fitness classes into the fare.

What People Love

  • Specialty restaurants (The Wake, Gunbae, Razzle Dazzle, Extra Virgin, Pink Agave) are included in the fare with no cover charge — rated among the best food at sea
  • Truly inclusive pricing bundles Wi-Fi, gratuities, all restaurants, group fitness, and basic soda — minimal nickel-and-diming
  • Adults-only (18+), boutique-hotel atmosphere with no kids and a sophisticated-but-playful vibe

Common Complaints

  • Only two small pools that fill up fast — the most common complaint, with daybeds claimed early
  • Buggy, low-rated app and a clunky reservation model make booking dining a hassle
  • Long, disorganized embarkation with multi-hour waits reported
