The Queen Victoria is 'Outdated Elegance' as another critic has stated... and that is what we love, the Elegance of a Past-dated time. The Queen Vic has it in spades!! The ship has a wonderful, homely feeling once you board.
Everything was as we expected..... A MAJOR bone of contention is the carrying of your own suitcase etc after check-in at departure airport ....to the ships' transfer coach. It doesn't feel very sophisticated having to fight your way through other passengers at the arrival airport to get to the transfer coach..... you don't do that with Thompsons :-/ !
As another critic states, the 15% additional charge on everything doesn't sit nicely and makes lots of items far too expensive, including drinks !! WOW !! Talk about costly!
Balcony cabin, ( I don't really know the grade ) usual sort really, two seats, stool. Nothing special.
