Line 132:
''Queen Victoria'''s public rooms are mainly located on the lower-level public decks of the ship, 2 Deck and 3 Deck. Unlike ''Queen Mary 2'', however, there is no central circulation access, the main corridors being to the port side. The ship does have the similar grand lobby staircase with an artwork feature as on the Queen Mary ships, a relief portrait of the ship situated on the staircase sculpted by British sculptor [[John McKenna (sculptor)|John McKenna.]]
1 Deck, the lowest passenger deck, holds the lowest level of a three-storey stairwell lobby, as well as of the Royal Court Theatre. On 2 Deck can be found the mid-level of the Royal Court Theatre, [[casino]], Golden Lion [[Pub]], Queen's Room, [[Verandah]] [[à la carte]] restaurant, Chart Room bar, and lower level of both the library and Britannia Restaurant. The topmost level of the theatre, Royal Arcade, Midships Lounge, and upper level of the library and formal dining room are all on 3 Deck, along with a wrap-around exterior promenade. The decks above these contain mostly passenger cabins until 9 Deck, on which are the Cunard Health Club and spa, Winter Garden lounge, Lido Restaurant, and two outdoor pools. On 10 Deck is the Commodore Club, Churchill Lounge (for smokers) and
Though ''Queen Victoria'' is theoretically a classless ship, it has been argued{{by who|date=July 2017}} that {{RMS|Queen Mary 2||2}} and {{RMS|Queen Elizabeth 2||2}}, both of which follow the same practice of separating passengers into different restaurants based on the price of the cabin they booked (the Britannia as standard for regular cabins, the Princess Grill as middle for those in junior suites, and the Queen's Grill as superior for deluxe suite occupants), are actually ships divided into three classes, despite the fact that all other public rooms are used by all passengers equally. Though this situation is similar on ''Queen Elizabeth 2'' and ''Queen Mary 2'', it is further enhanced on ''Queen Victoria'' by the fact that ''Grill Passengers'' (those dining in the Princess Grill or Queen's Grill) also have two private outdoor areas on 10 and 11 Decks with the specific name "Grills Terrace", a feature which also appears on ''Queen Mary 2'' at the aft section of 10 Deck.
