canoncruiser Posted April 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hey all, I just received an e-mail from Cunard offering amazing low TA and cruise fares for June and July. I'm already booked for QV TA and QM2 W'bound but if I weren't I would pounce. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing an eastbound crossing in November otherwise I might have been tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have managed a balcony cabin for £988. That includes single supplement and air fare. Because this is part of the World Cruise, the air fare is not included in the price you quoted. You have to add on £350 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing an eastbound crossing in November otherwise I might have been tempted. Ridiculous in what way? Saver fares are: (Cunard full fare is even more) Inside £2,799 = £140 pp per night Balcony £3,499 = £175 pp per night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20 day crossing is still available for £1099 inside cabin on certain sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted April 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I may have been looking at the wrong 20 day crossing - 2nd July instead of 22nd July but that is still showing £2,859 balcony Early Saver on Cunard's website.

Very Good Prices for Solos, Lets hope Cunard keep it up when Staterooms are available at short notice. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasy51 Posted April 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2015 There is one UK travel agent offering a 20-day package for 22 July. I wonder if this is what the OP means? Southampton to NY on QM2 5-day stay in NY, hotel included in price Back to Southampton on QM2 From memory, the price for inside is about £1100 pp. Balcony is a bit over £1500pp. I suspect it will go quickly.

milamber Posted April 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) We just managed to book the 20 day you mention. 8 nights out, 5 nights in New York, 7 nights back including transfers in NYC - £2197.99 total for two people in an inside. Didn't think it was worth the extra £450 each for the balcony on a transatlantic. First time with Cunard - never been tempted before, but this one was too good to miss :) Sold out except for balconies now, unsurprisingly It's certainly a strange one. By opting out of the 5 days up to Boston & Halifax and staying in New York instead the price difference was almost £4000 for the two of us. It wasn't even a 'saver' fare as we were able to book specific cabins and dining times which is usually not possible with saver fares Edited April 24, 2015 by milamber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted April 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Any details on which hotel in New York (Manhattan) comes as part of the deal? Sure - it's the Holiday Inn Midtown 57th Street. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CateW Posted April 25, 2015 #18 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We booked the round trip NYC starting 7/14. We booked a balcony but still a fantastic fare for 16 days. Can't wait! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet debonaire Posted April 27, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just booked solo transatlantic dec 15 for 1399 with the flights, inclusive drinks and on board credit. The Cunard fare works out 800 cheaper than the saver for a solo traveller on this crossing today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWestwardbound Posted April 27, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Still mulling this over the return crossing plus 5 days in NY. Price has moved up slightly, and eldest daughter has now said she would like to holiday with the 3 of us, meaning two cabins, blowing the budget.

maina Posted May 2, 2015 #21 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Holiday Inn Midtown is very well-located and not a bad place at all unless you want a luxury hotel. It even has a rooftop swimming pool. We stayed there before our first transatlantic on QM 2 a few years ago, not booked through Cunard but through a U.S. bidding site where you put in your desired cost and location (neighborhood) and take a chance on what hotel you get. It's on the far west side of Manhattan, and was quite a quick trip by cab to the QM Brooklyn dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
