Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady | Toulon Port Disaster
Is Toulon worth visiting on a cruise — and is The Test Kitchen the best restaurant on Virgin Voyages? In this vlog from our Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Irresistible Med & Rome cruise, we arrive in Toulon, France for our first port day and take the St Tropez & Port Grimaud excursion — before finishing the evening with dinner at The Test Kitchen onboard. We also share what happens when bad weather hits your port day… and what to do when cruise plans don’t go as expected. 🇫🇷 Toulon Cruise Port – St Tropez & Port Grimaud Excursion • Virgin Voyages shore excursion (8 hours) • St Tropez harbour & old town • Port Grimaud canal boat ride • Weather challenges in the South of France • Is Toulon a good cruise stop? We’re completely honest about how the weather impacted the experience and whether we’d recommend this excursion. 🎥 When Things Go Wrong… An SD card error meant we lost most of our port footage. It was gutting — but this is real travel. Things don’t always go to plan, and we share that openly. 🍽️ The Test Kitchen – Virgin Voyages Review We dined at The Test Kitchen on Scarlet Lady and tried Menu A: • Mushroom • Egg • Scallops • Beef • Blue Cheese • Chocolate Plus the 6-cocktail pairing (~$40pp). Is The Test Kitchen worth booking? Which dishes stood out? Would we do it again? If you’re researching Virgin Voyages speciality dining, this is one you’ll want to watch. 🚢 Cruise Details Ship: Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Itinerary: Irresistible Med & Rome Port: Toulon, France Cruise Dates: 6–13 October 2024 If you're searching for: Toulon cruise port guide St Tropez cruise excursion Port Grimaud boat tour Virgin Voyages Test Kitchen review Scarlet Lady speciality restaurants Irresistible Med and Rome itinerary — this vlog should help you plan better. 📍 Full Cruise Itinerary Pre-cruise: Hotel Occidental Barcelona – 1 night Day 1 (Sun 6 Oct): Barcelona – Embarkation Day 2: Toulon, France (09:30–17:30) Day 3: Marina di Carrara (Florence), Italy (08:30–18:30) Day 4: Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy (08:30–18:30) Day 5: Sea Day Day 6: Ibiza, Spain (Arrive 19:00) Day 7: Ibiza, Spain Day 8 (Sun 13 Oct): Barcelona – Debarkation Post-cruise: H10 Racó del Pi – 2 nights If you enjoy real, honest cruise and travel reviews — including cruises, city breaks, hotels and airport lounges — consider subscribing for more travel content across Europe and beyond." _____________________________________ ☕️ Support the Channel If my videos have helped you plan a cruise or holiday and you’d like to say thank you, you can buy me a coffee here: 👉 https://ko-fi.com/cruisetravelaandexplore There’s absolutely no pressure — your likes, comments and support mean just as much.
