"Here’s me and my friend Laura enjoying a girls' weekend on board Queen Victoria. We both joined Carnival on the same day 3.5 years ago and have been great friends ever since. We bonded over our shared love of spas and prosecco and have had lots of fun times! But we've also seen each other through some tough times and no matter how long in between catching up we always chat away like we only saw one another yesterday. We have the type of friendship where we can tell each other anything, which I think is pretty special, particularly as we've not known each other that long." Laura Phillips
