My wife and I decided to try out the Cunard line Queen Victoria as a change from our usual choice which is P&O. We live fairly local to the embarkation port so travel to the ship was no problem. We arrived early and were on board in very quick time. The cabin was very spacious for a two week cruise and right from the moment we arrived our cabin steward was very attentive. Regarding the cabin we knew there were no drink facilities in the cabin which is what we like on P&O.That is why we chose a cabin near a staircase so we could just pop up and grab a coffee or tea whenever and drink it in our cabin. This is so much quicker than room service. The ship we found to be very nice with well appointed public rooms. One of these was the theatre which must be one of the best that we have seen on a cruise ship and the entertainment in it was very good. The food was very good although we were a bit disappointed that there was not silver service in the restaurant. We sat at a table for 8 with 6 very nice people and seemed to get on with them very well. The ports we visited on the Baltic cruise we had mostly been to before so tended to do our own thing although in Russia we had to go on an organised trip to get around the visa requirements. The weather on this cruise was extremely and pleasantly warm not at all what we expected. The whole experience was a very good one and we would not hesitate to go on this ship again Tom Cruise (the other one)

Cabin Review

Cabin BC

We had a cabin on the port side overlooking but just above the lifeboats. Another time I would choose one a little bit fwd so you could see both to fwd and aft. But it seemed out of the wind so perhaps not too bad.

I am not sure if the space was enough for a world cruise but with the extra big draw at the bottom of the bed ( possibly this is normally used for linen) but we used it. Wife's hanging space for long dresses a bit tight but I take wraps for my suit and tux and just hang them in the room creating more space in the wardrobe
