Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of the Queens Grill experience on the Queen Victoria, noting that while it offers a sense of exclusivity, it falls short of true six star luxury. They begin by highlighting the benefits of priority boarding and the impressive size of the Q6 suite, which they describe as a beautiful and well thought out living space. However, they identify several significant drawbacks, including a loud and uncontrollable air conditioning system, a claustrophobic bathroom layout, and a lack of premium alcohol in the included in suite drinks. The reviewers also express disappointment regarding the butler service, noting that the staff performed duties similar to standard stateroom attendants without much distinction. On a positive note, the creators praise the Queens Grill restaurant for its excellent food and exceptional service, specifically mentioning the benefit of having dedicated tables and consistent waiting staff. They conclude that while the experience is more like five and a half stars than six due to missed details like limited wine choices and insufficient power outlets, the larger suite and superior dining make it a worthwhile upgrade if priced correctly.
