We approached this holiday with a certain amount of trepidation as it was our first cruise and the reaction of friends who had experience of cruising was certainly split into 'absolutely love it' and 'hated every minute, won't be doing that again'.
After considerable research we booked a 14 day Cunard Mediterranean Cruise through ROL (Readers Offers Ltd) which provided us with a Cabin upgrade and a free Car Parking Service at Southampton. We were also certainly influenced by Cunards reputation and tradition.
The Cruise Ship was The Queen Victoria.
The Cabins were of a reasonable size, well furnished and spotlessly clean.
Storage can be a problem as didn't discover under bed storage until second week. The huge bed is very comfortable. TV picture poor and mounted on sideboard takes up valuable space. Smoking on neighbouring balconies can be a huge problem.Bathroom quite small and smallish shower could be a problem for larger persons.
