After more than a week aboard the Queen Victoria, all of us have settled in nicely to our suites and the ship's routine. The suites for all four of the couples are just alike and all on the same floor. In fact, all but Debra and Martone's suites are in the same hallway section. The closets are a little too small for David and I but otherwise they are quite nice.
There are differences we have noticed between our QM2 voyages and this one of the Queen Victoria. The casino is much smaller and doesn't have a craps table at all. The huge ballroom is missing and instead a room the size of the QM2 winter garden room is the ballroom. Of course, this ship does not have the benefit of a planetarium which we usually enjoyed from time to time.
The Queen's Grill however, has not disappointed. Granted, the women are not escorted into the dining room on the Queen Victoria as we were on the QM2. Other than this difference, the food and service have been excellent. As I knew would be the case, David has cultivated a close relationship with the sommelier, the Head Waiter, and the Captain assigned to our table area. We've had special requests granted almost daily. I cannot say we have all LOVED all of the dishes we have been served, but the majority have been delicious. In every cruise, it is common to do a little exploring of the menu options so a few misses are to be expected.
My biggest complaint is that the internet service is horribly slow and the wireless is super weak. Oh well.
