Just returned from two weeks on the Queen Victoria, cruise started in Venice and ended up 14 nights later in Athens.

I have to say I was very disappointed in many aspects of the cruise, working in a safety environment I have to say that there were several significant safety concerns, from stood in the corridor debating with the cabin stewards about their reluctance for us to be shown the primary emergency escape route, saying that we should always use the main staircase, even if there was a fire in that area ???, to rotten balcony furniture which collapsed when sat on, to bare wires hanging out of room appliances, Queen Victoria has recently had a refit but I am afraid it was very poorly maintained and was tired and unkempt in many areas.

The cabin itself (6189) was clean apart from the balcony glass which was filthy, and the bag of sweets which a previous tenant had spilt under the bed and had not been cleaned up, I have to say the shower was tiny, I am not a big guy but there was very little room to move in there, the cabin steward did his best to keep the room clean and tidy, no complaints there.

Cabin was okay but much smaller than it looked in the pictures, check the balcony furniture out before you sit on it !!
