Sail Date: Aug 2014

We are fairly new to cruising having used Silversea,Celebrity and now Cunard. We sailed on the QM2 in January this year on the first leg to Capetown of her round the world voyage. I loved the QM2, so didn't expect the Queen Victoria to match the QM2. I underestimated!!

As we travel a lot and have two trips to South Africa booked for 8 weeks and 10 weeks between October and March we booked the Baltic cruise quite late and availed of a "Saver" fare. This fare has some restrictions, but to be honest, this had no impact whatsoever to the great time which we had.

Embarkation in Southampton was fast, efficient with smiling staff all the way. First impression on entering the QV wasn't the wow factor which we experienced on QM2, but very quickly, I came to love this elegant ship which for me had a much more intimate feel. Our stateroom on deck 5 was very clean and comfortable. Just a couple of minor issues. We asked for a king size bed and got two singles. Not a major issue. The bathroom is small, but manageable, but for me, the shower curtain was a no no!! I dislike them anyway, but the one in our shower was a little short, so had to be poisoned very carefully to avoid a very wet floor.

Cabin Review

Good cabin close to laundry.
