The adults-only ship was supposed to sail from Miami to the Caribbean on her inaugural trip in April, however due to the coronavirus pandemic that sailing was postponed.
According to People, Virgin confirmed the Scarlet Lady will begin with a “soft opening” on October 16, but added that date “is reliant on current travel restrictions being lifted as planned.”
