These menus are current on the Resilient Lady, Scarlet Lady, and Valiant Lady at the time of posting, but always double check once onboard as prices do get updated occasionally to reflect market conditions.
But before we get to the menus, here are a few commonly asked questions regarding beverages on Virgin cruises:
Try saying that 5 times fast! Oh, that could be a fun bar game! After a few shots!
Yes! Soda and carbonated beverages, sparkling and filtered water, juice, a selection of teas, and drip coffee is included in your cruise fare. This sets Virgin apart from most other non-luxury lines. As noted on the menus, you will pay extra for specialty coffees, mocktails, smoothies, fresh-pressed juice, milkshakes and floats, and energy drinks in addition to all alcoholic beverages.
Virgin Voyages does not currently offer drink packages on the Scarlet Lady or the Valiant Lady, so you’ll be paying for premium drinks à la carte. However, Virgin offers something called “Bar Tab” where you can add funds to your account prior to sailing to be used on alcohol and other premium beverages and frequently offers a great promotion…
If you pre-purchase $300 worth of bar credit to be used on premium beverages (any beverage for which there is an extra charge), Virgin will throw in an extra $50. So spend $300 and get $350 toward drinks that can be enjoyed by anyone in your cabin anywhere on the ship OR at the Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini. Note that the credit is non-refundable, so be sure to spend it all!
Yes! And unlike a drink package on other cruise lines, not everyone in your cabin will need to purchase a “Bar Tab.”
Sailors (guests) may bring two (750ml) bottles of wine onboard per cabin in your carry-on luggage. No other alcohol is permitted to be carried on.
Coke. And Dr. Pepper is NOT served. Which may lead some to ask…
Yes, but not in single-use plastic containers. Stick to cans or boxes.
Now, onto why you’re probably here, the porn! Drink menu porn that is (you’ll have to wait until you’re onboard to see how “adult” these cruises actually are)!
All prices are in US dollars.

You’ll note that there are also a few, uh hum, non-beverage items available to purchase in your cabin. The way I see it, partake of enough drinks and you can save yourself $60: zzzzzzz.
And with that…
Class Dismissed.
Homework (10 points): Let me know in the comments which drinks you’re most looking forward to trying if you’re booked on a cruise aboard the Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, or Resilient Lady. Then review all the Virgin Voyages Dining Menus.
