Really enjoyed our first cruise with Cunard on the Queen Victoria. Having been on other lines and river cruises several times. We did think the ship may not suite us, but it did. The embarkation was easy we had a night. In Rome and got transferred to the ship all went well. We thought that the cabins were ok not up to spec TV and Wi-Fi connections. The bathrooms although clean and plenty of hot water need an update as do the rest of the cabin. The staff our cabin chap James was lovely and really helpfull. The Food was very good we dined on the 8pm slot and it fitted in nicely with our evening. The one night we went to the steakhouse Verandah it was brilliant food excellent and would highly reccommend it. The main disappointment was the entertainment. Watched a couple of shows which were ok, but then didn’t bother with the rest. We like to have a bit of a dance but every room seemed to have ballroom dancing type music on which we don’t like. As we were a party of 6 it would have been nice to have a bit of disco music on, in one place every night. Pros Good food Great staff Very clean Good embarkation and disembarkation well organised. Cons Cabins definitly need an update, especially the bathrooms and hallways. Entertainment was not up to the standard we expected and music was catering for over 80’s apart from one decent ABBA night, need to adjust to keep younger clients coming in. ( ps our group ranged from early 60,s to mid 70,s.)
We arrived early at the terminal in Barcelona, but were on board smoothly in no time at all. Our cabin was ready soon after. For me, Cunard just seem to do things a little bit better than average: the decor, the service, the food. Even our suitcases were not just dumped outside the door, but taken into the cabin and placed on the bed, ready for unpacking. And our balcony cabin had a small sofa between the bed and the balcony door - a small detail, but it gives you somewhere else to sit rather than just on your bed. Around the (heated) pools, there were fresh towels stacked ready for when you got out - no swapping or deposits or searching for the towel station. The cabin was as clean as you'd hope for and everything worked fine. The TV is a little frustrating because, although there's a good choice of channels, the guide is no use, as it doesn't describe any of the programmes, so you just have to flick constantly until you find something of interest. We picked a cabin near the front of the ship, as we do on nearly every cruise, but on Deck four this was extremely noisy when docking, being directly above the thrusters which, although only used for a few minutes, had a loud whine (probably their motor) running for the whole docking procedure. Wouldn't pick again for this reason alone. The interior of Queen Victoria was generally exceptionally clean, but the exterior looks quite tatty and rusty and in need of a paint. It's been a while since its last refurb, so would benefit from another soon, but nothing to put you off going. We found the food to be noticeably better than the few recent P&O cruises we've been on and the gluten free section of the buffet the best of any cruise we've ever done - lots of choice and no waiting for staff to go and get things for you. The ship was not full, so there was lots of space on deck, but a little lack of atmosphere. The Queens room was half empty most of the time even though the band was playing almost all the time. I do wonder how Cunard will fare as the ballroom dancing generations fade away over time. Entertainment was good quality, far better than the typical 'headliners' teams, who I appreciate are learning their trades, but just don't compare to the sopranos and musicians Cunard choose. The ports were all good: Livorno well worth a day rather than risk the chaos of Pisa or the corrupt cops on the buses ripping tourists off and demanding fines after not letting them validate their tickets (a well known scam apparently, but coming from government employees), Toulon a nice walkable town and waterfront, Ibiza (Eivissa) beautiful and Valencia's art and science park just amazing. Barcelona is obviously well worth a few days before or after the cruise, although Las Ramblas is completely dug up right now, and no doubt will be for the whole of this summer, so wasn't what we'd hoped.
