Review summary

I was revisiting Victoria as she had a recent major makeover which I wanted to see as I was gathering material for my new book High Tea on the Cunard Queens which tells the story of my life spent on every Cunard Queen ever built and the changes seen over the last 55 years. The book will be released by History Press in July 2019

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

My first time away from a balcony stateroom and I was dreading the worst! But I was surprised how light and spacious it was. With the Tele left on bridge cam it felt really good. But really, the ship is so good I spent little time there with my eyes open.
