Unable to put comments on the Cruise Reviews forum ( Ship not named) anyway in April celebrated my 60th birthday on the fairly new ship the Queen Victoria, we sailed from Southampton 22/4/2008 for the Canaries, at Southampton on that day the 3 Queens were all in port, the weather was marvelous and the crowds on the dockside and the loudspeakers playing music, and the ships horns all tooting in harmony made this a memorable occasion (my birthday was the above date).
The ship is top to toe luxury we had a balcony on the port side midships, we had 4 formal nights on a 10 day cruise, and cabin/restaurant/bar.............magnificent, but the star of the ship is the Grand Theatre, in fact everything about the theatre and all the acts made this a cruise a lovely memory. When we got back to Southampton the brand new Royal Caribbean ship "Independence of the Seas" had just been named the day before, and was waiting to sail that afternoon, as of now she is the biggest cruiser sailing the seas, and she dominated the port of Southampton.
