As part of our extensive review of Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady, we now review the premium lodgings on board: the Mega RockStar and RockStar Suites.

In total, there are 78 suites on Resilient Lady. This is made up of eight types of suites, divided into two categories: The Mega RockStar Suites and The RockStar Suites.

There are a lot of upsides to staying in the Mega RockStar and RockStar quarters. For starters, guests are given exclusive access to Richard’s Rooftop, with free-flowing Moët from 5–6pm every day. As you’d expect, the suites come with concierges (Virgin likes to refer to them as RockStar Agents).

All RockStars have priority boarding, and even get bathrobes with ‘RockStar’ emblazoned on the back. (One RockStar felt it necessary to parade his elevated status by wearing his robe to the pool… each to their own.)

Every RockStar also gets complimentary access to the Redemption Spa, another place to ‘rock’ your bathrobe.

All RockStar quarters also have a well-stocked minibar and a turntable with a supply of vinyl. Make a request from your RockStar Agent and they should be able to deliver your favourite tunes.

For Mega RockStars the mini bar is free-flowing, while mere RockStars have a “first one is on us" policy; the first bottle is complimentary, and you can swap out one free bottle of booze for a preferred tipple. Don’t drink vodka? Swap it for the gin you pour on your Coco Pops.

Mega RockStar Suites

Additional benefits for Mega RockStars are complimentary transfers to the ship and bar credits onboard (so it’s almost an all-inclusive drinks package).

The Mega RockStar Suites are all in the forward (front) of the ship on deck 15, with the most prestigious – the Massive Suites – boasting balconies and hot tubs with views looking to the horizon over the bow.

All the Mega RockStars have an outdoor shower on their balcony. The details for the Mega RockStar Suites are as follows (in order of size, price and prestige).

Massive Suites: 199.4 square metres (two in total)

The one-bedroom Massive Suite (there’s no door between the lounge/living area and the bedroom, but let’s not be pedants) is the largest onboard.

The living room has two semi-circle lounges; off this you’ll find a media room stocked with four guitars so the RockStars can do their thang!

The bedroom is as cavernous as you’d expect, with a king-size bed and a three-seater lounge, and the walk-in robe/powder room has a bathtub (these are the only suites with a bathtub). The showers in all suites have a peekaboo rainbow-tinted window into the bedroom.

There’s a separate guest WC off the lounge room.

The enormous deck is where the glamour really kicks up a notch, starting with the private hot tub with views to the horizon. There’s also a private dinner table with stairs, making it easy to get up onto the table for a dance. Eat your heart out, Sir Dick.

After all the frivolity, retire to the outside lounge or hammock.

Fab Suites: 88.3 square metres (two in total) and Posh Suites: 77.4 square metres (two in total)

Both the Fab and Posh Suites have a similar footprint and many of the same factors as the Massive Suite, but lack the party balcony and have a smaller bathroom.

The guest WC entrance is opposite the ensuite bathroom. There’s no bathtub, but there’s a spacious shower with a rain showerhead and a peekaboo window into the bedroom, with an oversized TV and king bed. Instead of four guitars, there’s just one set up in the lounge.

The size difference between the Fab and Posh Suites comes from the compact coffee table and chair next to the mini bar in the Fab Suites.

Gorgeous Suites: 53.0 square metres (nine in total)

It’s easiest to define the Gorgeous Suite as a spacious studio with decent bathroom space when compared to the Fab, Posh and Massive options.

You’ll find there’s no separate bedroom and lounge area, no guest WC, less storage space and only one TV.

RockStar Suites

Brilliant Suite: 44.8 square metres (18 in total on deck 14)

The Brilliant Suites are almost identical to the Gorgeous Mega RockStar Suite, except they’re in the aft and don’t have an outdoor shower.

Cheeky Corner Suite: 57.1–79.6 square metres (14 in total on decks eight–14)

The Cheeky Corner Suite is a studio with a compact bathroom (but not as compact as the Terraces). The higher the deck number the larger the room, as the ship cantilevers the decks in the aft.

The balconies have a unique scenic view of the wake, however, the lower decks are sheltered from the light by the balconies above. Guests will also have to contend with the noise of The Dock bar and lounge.

Sweet Aft Suite: 38.6–61.4 square metres (7 in total on decks eight–14)

The central suite in the aft of the ship, the Sweet Aft is wedged between the Cheeky Corners. The space is slightly more compact but the views of the wake are pretty amazing.

Seriously Suite: 32.7 square metres (24 in total on deck 12)

The smallest of the RockStars, the Seriously Suite is an oversized room with an expanded bathroom and the ubiquitous voyeuristic peekaboo window.
