3rd time on Victoria, I loved it again. First time Ive been inside and to be honest, it was abdolutdly fine. Infact I spent more time around the ship, joining activites rather than sit on ths balcony. 2 gala nights during our 7 day cruise but no theme, shame. New Years Eve in Amsterdam was great. The gala dinner, entertainmdnt on board and the spectacular firework display we watched from deck 10 made the night the best New Year in a long time.
