Unlike other cruise ships, Virgin cruises take an all-inclusive approach in pricing, eliminating add-ons that require ponying up for extras. Guests can dine at any of the 20 eateries onboard. Group fitness class are free, as are wifi and non-alcoholic drinks.
More details have also been released about the Caribbean itinerary which includes The Beach Club at Bimini in the Bahamas, a short transfer from the pier built specifically for Virgin Voyages guests.

Programming includes yoga and meditation sessions in the mornings, DJ-led pool parties in the afternoon, and live music and beach bonfires to close out the nights.
British DJ, producer and songwriter Mark Ronson has been tapped as Virgin Voyages' "founding DJ" and will spin for four performances throughout the year.
Six original shows are also being developed for the ship's onboard entertainment.
The Scarlet Lady sets sail April 1-Oct. 21, 2020, from Miami to the Caribbean. The ship capacity is 2,770 guests and 1,160 crew.
