Absolutely everything was great! The staff, cleanliness, food, excursions, and atmosphere were definitely spot-on. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be better accommodations to those that had... See more

Food, cabin and music on board
The food, cabin service, and the musical entertainment were excellent. Ismael was a wonderful server for us, and got to know our names and our preferences. Julius was an excellent cabin attendant. All four musicians were amazing,

Wonderful itinerary around the 5 Great Lakes with excellent cuisine and crew. The included tours were interesting and the onboard entertainers were outstanding. The Lakelorian lectures were disappointing as shown by the diminishing audience however the organized July 4 reading of the Constitution and recognition of the service members onboard was a pleasant surprise and well attended. The cabins have everything needed but are quite snug.
Good lake cruise ship
The foods are great , the ship is clean . Nice staff/ workers .
The rooms & dining service is awesome
But the itenerary / the daily schedule sometimes different with the apps
The pilot gave good information about the weather , the places etc . Expensive
Overall is good for small ship
Location and service in too and dining.
Wish the state room was larger
Wish the state room was larger, my wife and I had a rough time with the shower flooring with the bumps. The staff couldn't have been nicer not a flaw with anyone, service in the food court was fantastic. The Direct TV would drop off for long periods of time.
We really love the smaller ship
We really love the smaller ship. We got to know so many nice people. The itenary was well done. The music was great. Our cabin attendant, Manuel, was fantastic. We enjoyed all talks by Michael. He was up on all tours and games give him a 10plus plus plus. The food was very good Wendy did a great shop at herding catsand makeing sure we were all accounted for. Please do more tours. We are a client forever
The crew and service were outstanding
The crew and service were outstanding. The food/bar service were equivalent to a 5 star restaurant with gorgeous presentation and plenty of options and flavor.
The ship was beautiful and very clean
The ship was beautiful and very clean. The crew and workers in all departments were outstanding. The cruise director and excursion manager was horrible. She had little to no knowledge about the excursions. We almost missed the last ferry back to the ship because of her mismanagement. She was baffled when we docked in Thunder Bay and most people couldn’t fly out until the next day because the ship docked at 11 am and flights to the east coast had already gone for the day. Very vey poor customer service pre cruise, during, and at the end.
Great crew very friendly and helpful
Staff was excellent
Staff was excellent! Every staff member was well trained, attentive and appeared to be happy. Food was good and available for the most part. Happy to be able to experience a little time in each port although we did feel a bit rushed at some of them, but we understood the need to accommodate everyone who wanted to experience the included excursions. The room was very small but sufficient. Our shower on the 4th floor was extremely tight so I recommend booking a room with a larger bath if that would be a problem for you. We feel it was a good value for the price.

What a great time!

I already filled out other review from the app. I would like to say that it was the greatest. I was nervous since we got burned by American Queen and never were able to get our refund. But Victory was awesome. Thank you for your concern about the environment like not washing towels until we needed them. I appreciated no water bottles and love our gift. I enjoyed the smaller meals so there was no waste. You also did an excellent job making the 250th Birthday so great. The band is SO GOOD. I was only disappointed that Niagara was a highlight for us but was a bust. We were herded onto ship and then back on to bus. No time to spend at all walking around, shopping, and seeing other parts of the falls.
The staff were very helpful and polite

The cruise was great
The cruise was great! Your staff was amazing, friendly, helpful, fun. I liked that there were lots of events to attend during the day, but also there was time for us to rest after an excursion. The food was very good. The ship was clean and safe and fun to be on. We really had a great time.
The downside was the time spent on the Niagara Falls excursion. The bus left late because of customs and we were extremely rushed when we got to the Falls. Rush to the Falls boat trip, rush off the Falls Boat and then back to the bus immediately. No time to walk around and see the other Falls up close, no time to shop, no time to even go to the bathroom. This was to be the highlight of my trip and I feel sad that it was so short and rushed. This really needs to be corrected. Also, you need to do more in Cleveland too - just dropping us off at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and not even giving us a short tour of the city felt incomplete. Please address this issue too. Thank you.
Amazing Lake Superior and Lake Michigan
Overall our 2 week trip was great. The strengths were the Stateroom staff was excellent, dining staff and service was excellent, lounge staff and entertainment was excellent. The weakest was the communication from the Cruise Director and staff. But, we were able to see and attend all excursions successfully. Captain Vlad was outstanding to be able to get us from port to port on schedule and very approachable when seen on the ship.
The staff was fantastic
The staff was fantastic! Their attitudes, personality, adeptness with many details and care for others are to be recognized and serve as
'selling point" for any "return customers" and for initial prospective passengers.
Not to eliminate any of the staff we encountered on our voyage but specifically to extend our greatest thanks to our room service attendant, Ali. Her attitude toward us was unbelievable, her attention to details was topnotch, her personality was so warm and caring, her smile and willingness to work to attain the cleanest and neatest are skills that are to be modeled by others. Workers such as she should be valued and copied by others. We were so fortunate to meet the lady that she is. Thank you!
