Cunard Queen Victoria is quite the same as Cunard Queen Elizabeth, less Art Deco than QE, the QV is more victorian style, and more classic. The Cruise was excellent, due to the calm sea in January 2019, a very rare situation. I loved the daily program, which offer everyone something, and you are not boring at all. Only about 6 children were aboard, so be advised that for this World Cruise (and I think also for others) you will meet more mature passengers.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Best Service at the Britannia Restaurant. I guess that the quantity of the meals (not all) were reduced. Personally I am not a big eater, but I think that other passenger with more appetite had the one or other a "diet" diner. Otherwise the quality was maintained to other cruises. The Lido as well, I remarked that generally lesser choice (bread, pastry, fruits) is possible, of course you can find always something, and you will not leave hungry the Lido.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools, Fitness-Center, Spinning, Sauna, Jacuzzi was used. I will remark the excellent Spinning Session with Wladimir. Top. One negative point : in the shower I used Bath Gel from dispenser, and got a sever allergic reaction in my face. The Medical Center has to be visited, and a bill of USD 138,00 was the result for the diagnostic . No way, that the costs were covered by Cunard, or the company who looks for the Fitness Center, and Sauna. ... a bad experience. (a notice that the bath-gel has not to be used for the face was dropped on the dispenser a few days later)
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The shows and dancers were amazing, the female singers medium. But they did their best. Here I will remark the excellent performances on 2 evening from Phillip Browne. Just amazing singer. Also the pianist Karlo from the Commodore Club was all evening an excellent entertainer. Thanks guys for the wonderfull moments.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
12 years young lady. Clean in every way, the liner is well maintain by the crew around the clock. The new refurbishing is very nice and well done. You just have to love the Titanic Charm and all the wood (imitation)...than you will no more leave this swimming palace.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin for one person is big enough, and have enough space for clothes. The only negative point is the air condition. The noice was terrible. I had to sleep with ear plugs. That was not a problem for me, but can be a problem for other persons. Otherwise the air was well diffused, and the temperature was good. The rest of the cabin is Cunard Standard, and the situation on Deck 2, nearby the Casino is super, and very very quiet. You are well located, near the Theater, Casino, the Royal Arcades, as well the Queens Room.
Ship tip
Be advised that the average age is "mature to high" . The design is traditional, and very british. For the classic cruiser who is looking for a quiet cruise/transatlantic crossing, with a lot of lectures, sports possiblities, nice shows, this is the right choice. It is not a Fun Ship.
I booked the Hike & Trail. I will remark the excellent tour guide Lawson from Fantasea. The guy is well informed, love his island. Only the beach visit was to short, as Lawson took to much time to explain the "Zedar" tree problem of his island... otherwise a very nice tour.
The port himself, you will find a small outlet, with some souvenir shops. Nice but not more. In 15 minutes you have seen all the small shops.
Port himself, nothing special. Visit to JFK Space Kennedy with Cunard. Well organized and worse the visit. A little bit of Disneyland for rockets, you can admire the Atlantis Shuttle in the building built for her. Otherwise nice films in 3D Cinema, an Apollo start ... etc . You have the possibility to touch a small Moon stone.... Yes go for it.
Nothing special. I visited Miami, the Art Deco District. Well for the Art Deco Architecture a must to see. I was surprised with the plenty numbers of buildings in a good renovated shape, and used my camera very well to do some very nice photos. The beach himself is very very large, and if you have the sun on our side, you can feel this Miami Sunshine Feeling....A lot of Restaurants on the Ocean Drive, very pricy, and loud music. Shops directly not on the Ocean Drive.
