Cunard’s Queen Victoria has hosted actual royalty on board. Still, nothing could prepare the ship for the whirlwind arrival of my 10 and 12-year-old daughters, who cartwheeled and skipped their way through the stately ballroom, hellbent on their mission to see just how kid-friendly a luxury cruise line can be.
Their playful antics were probably not what the then-Duchess of Cornwall and now Queen Camilla had in mind when they christened the cruise ship back in 2007, but this is not exactly the type of vessel my family is used to either.
