I spent an afternoon aboard Virgin Voyages' new ship Resilient Lady, at Station Pier, Port Melbourne recently. It was very different to the ships I'm used to, obviously aimed at hip young things (relatively) in their mid-twenties to mid forties, not an old traditionalist like me. The dinner I had was excellent and the service very good with friendly staff. However, to my taste, the public areas were either garish or bland. The swimming pool (only one) was surprisingly small for a ship this size. Someone told me it was more 'a place to be seen at' rather than swimming in. Hmmm. Anyway, it was an interesting visit. I doubt I'll ever be sailing aboard her.

| This Dining Room is quite attractive, in a modern style. |

| A predictably flamboyant deck party. The younger folk obviously enjoy this sort of thing. |
Bloody luxury !
