Victory Cruise Lines Reviews 

We enjoyed every minute we were on board and on the included and premier excursions. We did find it a little difficult finding what was happening as all was on the cellphone, but we managed. The food was excellent, the cabins were comfortable and the passengers and crew were extremely friendly.

We loved everything about our cruise, the staff, the food and drink, the house band, the excursions and the size of the ship.
Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Liked smaller vessel. Friendly helpful staff. 2 dining options. Excursions were great, very informative. Lovely massage! Nice to have MD on board.

Wonderful cruise!! Loved the smaller size ship and its fantastic crew. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, well served by Tyron and Sarah, the wine steward. The Victory 1 band was so talented, singing so many different music genres. The Highlight was our cruise director, Nicole’s singing, especially her Broadway night songs. The ports were great, with very informative and engaging guides. Looking forward to sailing with Victory again.

Liked the entertainment and all the stops throughout

The vessel was in good condition and regardless of where one would be on the boat the surroundings were pleasant. The staff were helpful, friendly and attentive at all times. The waitstaff in the Coastal Dining area were particularly good, memorizing our names and preferences and proactively helping the one member of our group that had food allergies. The stops on the Great Lakes tour were well-selected and the side trips offered different options that we enjoyed. The only downside was that when the cruise had run its course it was time to get off the boat. I would have appreciated another week or two!

This was my first experience on a smaller ship. I cannot say one thing was better than the other. Everything was fantastic-the food, entertainment, shore excursions, the crew. I would highly recommend this to those who want to feel like royalty. That is how I felt.
Super job and well done

Staff was outstanding specially, Sid, Preston, Suleiman,Joseph, Marvin, Maria, Sarah, Sabrena and The Captain. The Chef selection of food was great. We enjoyed both the included tours and the ones we paid premium. After our tours at night we look forward to the entertainment unfortunately we did not enjoy the entertainment. I enjoyed it one night the cabaret but that was just a show and people wanted to dance including us. The musicians are good but I think it was the kind of music they selecting did not go with the crowd. People wanted to dance more. They started at 8:45pm or a little after and were done by 9:45pm or 10:00pm after that there was no more music some people including ourselves we wanted to stay longer and listen to music and perhaps dance. We will recommend you to our family and friends, but I will let them know about your entertainment and hopefully when they book you will have a better entertainment.

Loved the Vessel and the crew were wonderful. the music was especially special. I would eliminate that very long day inToronto and omit Escanaba which was a waste of good time.

Everything planned was so enjoyable. Excursions, lake lorien, musicians etc. The food was very good and Mark is a wonderful waiter. We have told everybody about it.

I lost my balance on the last step of the gangplank and fell getting a bump on my head. I declined medical attention. There were no employees in that area that usually help me get down. I had to take a ferry to Mackinaw to get to the Grand Hotel. There were no Victory employees by the ferry, at Mackinaw to get me a taxi to get to the Grand Hotel or at the Grand Hotel itself . I discovered I was NOT given a ticket to get entry to the luncheon. I finally got in at some delay. Again no Victory employees to be found. I was helped by people employed by Mackinaw island
Needless to say I was quite upset.

I know that the above narrative was negative. I wanted to say something in a more positive note. The food was delicious. I enjoyed most of the excursions especially the Rock/Roll Hall of Fame and the picnic on Lake Superior. I didn't think I would like the Escanba excursion. It was a pleasant surprise. The musicians were fantastic.

Next time maybe you can offer a transfer from the airport to the hotel on the date of arrival. Also an included breakfast at the hotel

Staff on Victory were extremely kind!!

OK for small people!
Bathroom was too small. Shower was incredibly tiny. Food was okay but not great in most instances.

The itinerary, crew (particularly entertainment), food & service. Outstanding & I’ve been on a gazillion cruises.

The crew was amazing! It was obvious that they enjoyed their jobs and each other.
The entertainment and food exceeded our expectations. Overall, a 5 star trip.

Our second fantastic trip and Louie was fantastic for both trips. My sister in law came with us this trip. We’re taking my brother and his family for the Halifax trip to Jacksonville next year. My sister in law is coming again as well.

This was our first cruise ever. We found it relaxing. The food was excellent and the crew was friendly and always ready to help. We liked that it was a smaller ship with less passengers than the bigger ones cruising the Great Lakes. We will certainly consider doing another cruise with you.

The attention from the staff. They were always willing to help. The excellent food and drinks. The entertainment on our cruise was beyond great. Plenty of good music to dance to. The side trips were enjoyable. This is a small thing, but we weren’t crazy about the smell of the body soap and lotion.

We missed an excursion because of bad communication. You couldn’t hear anything on the intercom even after I told them at a meeting with backup. The food and the waitstaff and the cleaning crew were excellent. I will not be taking a Victory cruise again.

We liked the excursions. Everything was well-organized. Entertainment was fabulous. Staff was very good. Cabins are old - would like coffee option in rooms. This is an older crowd - fix the bathroom thresholds and get closed-captioning on TV. Cabins could have a little more luxury feel.
