First time Queen Victoria

any 'can't miss'??

Not sure what you would like but I am sure you will have a great time on QV, have sailed on her once and have another cruised booked for October.

 

We have been very impressed.

 

What type of things do you need to know, ie Dining, Drinks, extra spends etc.

When/where are you sailing?

One of my favourite things on our last cruise was the deck party but that doesn't help if you are on a winter cruise.

We love QV :D

Never ones to try and fit too much into the day, we just go with the flow.

sorry, I didn't give much away did I??

We have just booked for June 19 Netherlands, Belgium, Guernsey, France.

We have booked an oceanview cabin on deck 4 (obstructed) - 4141 I think.

We like days to explore the ports/sights.

Evenings - dinner/show/cocktails (and very cold sauvignon blanc)!!

Everything!

 

In no particular order:

 

Gin bar

Commodore Club - very quiet furing the day if its peace you want (not that the ship is rowdy but this is especially quiet daytime) and on an evening very enjoyable

Lectures are usually very good - grab a box for the thrill of siting in one at sea

Lunch in the Golden Lion

Long walks around the deck - forget many laps equal a mile

The library just plain amazing

Food at main venues but doughnuts in the commodore club and pastries at the Chart Room

Think thats it really

So much to do and see its hard to narrow it down!

Enjoy

If you like cocktails do check out the various bars, there are different cocktails available in some of them. Particularly good in the Chart Room, Commodore Club and Midships (Gin & Fizz).

A visit to the Queens Room for Afternoon Tea, but also for the dancing at night. The show dance can be worth seeing, these tend to part of the ball.

The Golden Lion is more like a pub on QV (and I guess QE) than on QM2. Lower ceilings and a more convivial atmosphere. Just my opinion.

different question re. dress code. I understand formal nights, but I think I read that gents have to wear a jacket every evening??

Yes, the dress code is shown here
