The Resilient Lady is one of four Lady-class ships currently sailing with Virgin Voyages. Virgin Voyages currently has only one class of ships. These ships are meant to appeal to guests who are new to cruising. One of the big differences is that Lady-class ships don't have any main dining rooms or a traditional buffet. Instead, there are numerous restaurants for guests to choose from, all at no additional cost. The Resilient Lady is very similar to its sister-ships; Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilent Lady and Brilliant Lady, although each ship may have some differences.

Pools and Hot Tubs on Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady
Nothing beats relaxing by a pool with a nice drink in hand as you feel the fresh sea breeze pass by you. The problem is that with thousands of people on a ship, there's not always room. If you want to spend all day in a pool, a cruise might not be the right choice. You would have a much better bet choosing a resort with a huge pool complex. That being said, a quick dip in the pool can be nice on a hot day.
The Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady has a total of 1 pools and 3 hot tubs.
