5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. I have never stopped at a port where the photographers were not on the dock taking photos with the port/ship info and best available backgrounds.
  2. The Do Not Upgrade/Accept Upgrade/ Upgrade only to the next class , can be added anytime by whomever you booked with.
  3. Yes , Early Elite Dinners are at a disadvantage with the 5-7pm free drinks ☚ī¸ RCI Drink Coupons all day is a far better system for every Elite/Diamond 👍
  4. You can't have a relationship with a TA until you start one. Ask frequent cruisers that you know for recommendations. Keep in mind that most cruise lines prohibit TA's in the US from advertising their best rates so you must make contact .
  5. In the US I usually find the best cruise rate best as soon as published . Cuinard always has a Sale going on , mostly adding OBC or upgrades . Should I find something better before Final ,I can cancel , rebook and move my deposit . I always use a TA as they are permitted to discount Cunard rates and Groups which may add OBC , and other amenities. I always compare booking Direct and via my TA . TA always wins out as the best deal 100% of the time.
  6. If you plan to book direct, at least compare it to current TA offerings before booking. Keep in mind that in many cases TA's cruise lines prohibit TA's from advertising their best rates so they must be contacted. You may even learn more about the cruise you are about to book?
  7. Carnival tried the 100% non-Smoking with the Paradise when it was first launched. Smoking was prohibited even during construction. Failed due to not being able to attract group business . We sailed aboard once and it was very enjoyable without the stink , especially the casino area.
  8. Not just Cunard , but all cruises and crossings activities come alive on sea days.
  9. It is pretty clear that all Fares enter the cancelation penalty schedule following Cunards Final Payment Date.
  10. 8013, 8014, 8109 or 8110 Those 4 category DF obstructed views book up very fast as their is a decent view .
  11. Suggest to have a Good Travel Agent handle your group. Cost you nothing Knowledge of ships and cruise lines. Handles all questions from potential guests Single point of contact for bookings and payments. (As a former cruise TA , I can state that everyone thinks a Group Cruise is a great idea until it is time for payments) TA may throw in some extra amenities in addition to those offered by the cruise line.
  12. Unusual that the original outbreak of this disease on a cruise ship was aboard Celebrity also. Celebrity Horizon back in the 90's . Identified source were the hot tubs which were promptly removed.
  13. Both have their own branded hotels , bus , and train cars
  14. Wife says many women do not flush and/or walkout without washing. Not just a man thing.
