Scarlet Lady, the flagship of Virgin's fleet of luxury cruise ships, is back in her home port of Miami. As satisfied sailors reluctantly bid farewell to their VIP lifestyles, a set of fresh faces eagerly come aboard! Among the new passengers are Jane and her friends Martin and Mia. Jane's been treated to the trip as a birthday gift from her generous friends — though she is sceptical that life at sea might not be for her. Can Scarlet's crew convince Jane that there's more to cruising than ‘blue rinses and buffets'? We also meet perfectionist restaurant manager Jayson, whose passion for all things food and service borders on the obsessive! Another new passenger is Alison.

Scarlet Lady, one of the newest and most luxurious ships at sea, is nearing the end of a cruise around the Caribbean. And while the seas might be calm, there are some rough heads on board after last night's ‘Scarlet Night' pool party. VIP ‘Rock Star' Damien treats himself to an extreme hangover cure... an IV drip filled with hangover-busting ingredients! But is it enough to let him enjoy the rest of his cruise? As the ship docks in the beautiful Bimini Island in the Bahamas, the passengers are planning a day full of activities and excursions. They have access to a private luxury beach club, and for many it's the highlight of the trip. But for the crew, the island paradise is more like a nightmare! They need to provide the same five-star service that the sailors expect onboard, but with limited facilities. Leading the charge is perfectionist restaurant manager Jayon. He's training up newbie Camila to his ultra-high standards, but will she make the grade? A family of ‘Rock Star' VIPs have their day thrown into chaos, thanks to some poor planning, but can the crew rescue their special day and send them home smiling?

Finally, the bridge crew bid a fond farewell to their charismatic Italian captain Giovanni.
Scarlet Lady, one of the newest and most luxurious ships at sea, is steaming towards its first port of call: Costa Maya in Mexico. But on the bridge, British First Officer Elliot has noticed a problem — the ship has fallen behind schedule and is in danger of missing its arrival slot. With thousands of passengers expecting a day full of exciting shore excursions the pressure's on to get back on track, or else he'll have a ship-load of angry passengers. Meanwhile, British passengers Paul and Damien are popping their cruising cherry, having been finally convinced to hit the high seas with the promise of a child-free ship. They've got big plans for their time in Mexico... if the ship ever makes it!

It's her first time visiting the port, and the pressure's on to provide a top experience for the passengers, but a power cut throws her plans into chaos!

One of them eventually stumbles back to ship — but the other is nowhere to be found. Captain Giovanni faces a difficult decision — wait longer, delaying thousands of passengers and crew or leave the stranded sailor behind! Meanwhile, passengers and crew prepare for the biggest night of the cruise — the ship-wide celebration known as ‘Scarlet Night'. As passengers get their glam on, the crew race to transform the ship with — amongst other things — a giant 75ft inflatable octopus. Will the crew be able to deliver their promise of a party to end all parties?
