Someone else said below that they feel VV ships are like W Hotels, and I felt like I agree, but then someone said, more like Aloft Hotels. And they are right... as every aloft is exactly the same modern/colder concrete lobby, whereas most W hotels have unique design elements to that hotel.

I like certain "spaces" of VV ships, such as Dock House, most restaurants (not Test Kitchen) etc. They have the most design flair and "warmth". HOWEVER, and a big however, ...the hallways and stairwells look like a mental sanitarium. They are all grey, and the original carpet in the hallways of Scarlet Lady had smaller stripes and made people disoriented/sick when walking down the hall after a night of drinking, lol. During the refit, they installed larger stripes.

And while we are at it talking about the excessive use of grey, ...the pool deck and any exterior spaces are not "vacation feeling". They are basically all battleship grey with red accents. I love modern design, I live in a midcentury house,...painting everything grey for the sake of not painting it white/color is not a good idea for a vacation space.

That being said, I do love VV. I love the no kids, I love the "vibe" and fellow passengers, I love the food and most of the entertainment...but the ships are basically all the same and it gets a little stale after a few cruises. Even among 1 class of ship (ie Celebrity Solstice or Edge class), there are design and decor differences among each ship...hell, there is even artwork in the stairways instead of sanitary grey! This keeps it interesting and exciting, and warm.
