We're sailing on the QE in September. Having paid the invoice I sent a note to Cunard Shareholder email address yesterday attaching a copy of our share certificate and I have this afternoon received an email of confirmation that the OBC has been added to our ship board account.

 

Not bad hey, a 24 hour turnaround.

 

Regards

Sounds like the people in Southampton were doing a good job.

"They once were the jewels in the British merchant navy's crown, but it appears that the remaining maritime administration of what once were monolithic British companies is to be moved to Germany, as Carnival Corp admit that they are looking to move ship and technical management roles to Hamburg to operate under one roof along with other 'brands' of the cruise line-owning corporation, Aida and Costa.

 

According to the Southampton based Daily Echo staff are so worried over the move they have leaked details of the plan, dubbed Project Doppler. The company told the newspaper that there were over 1,000 people employed in Carnival House and that the creation of the new maritime operation will affect "approximately 50 of these people and no more."

 

This will come as little comfort to staff as high value and historic operations are moved to the new centre which is to be called "Carnival Maritime", signalling an end to the former companies' relevance as maritime entities and in effect reducing them purely to localised marketing brands whilst the ships and maritime operations themselves are ran from Germany.

 

Carnival said that this had nothing to do with the European Referendum but was part of a long term strategy, the Echo reported.

 

Whilst the company stressed that Carnival House remained as its HQ, it will be seen as a regressive move, that two former great British and historic shipping companies will no longer have their vessels and maritime operations managed from British shores." - copied from http://www.shippingtimes.co.uk/item_10781.html
