Thank you. Bummer! And you are so right, it’s liable to be totally different by then. Hard to justify upgrading to Premium for 23 days.

We have a cruise in late August next year on the Sun Princess. We booked it as one continuous cruise, but it’s available to book as three separate cruises. We have the Plus Package. Will our benefits such as casual dining, etc. reset?

I would generally agree, but that’s not the case this time. We have some credit on SW and will probably just use that.

Called today and was told it was simply a restricted fare, no changes or refunds. Have to decide if the savings are worth it.

Was surprised to see EZ Air fares for SW listed as restricted. Anyone know how that works since SW offers credit back as long as you cancel? Some pretty good prices compared to direct booking.

Somehow I had missed this. Thank you for your kind instruction. I see where I can upgrade it myself.

I tried to upgrade from Plus to Premier yesterday and my TA said he would need to re-fare. I’d go from $200 OBC to $50 OBC. Don’t understand why they can’t just charge me the difference.

Interesting. So, we can purchase on board with OBC and if we purchase the Princess Protection we don’t the 8% on the package cost?

Is this something new? I thought Princess packages had to be purchased pre-cruise.

We have regrouped and are ready to fly to Paris on Tuesday to take the rest of our trip. I don’t know if we would have gone through making changes again, but it would have been nice if those of us impacted by the cancellations would have had a 24 hour window to book the Coronation cruise. Realize Cunard wanted as big a customer base as possible as soon as possible.

We have to be in Paris by the 8th to join a pre-river cruise tour. The Celebrity Reflection sailed on the 23rd ending in Barcelona on the 8th. Unfortunately, this all fell apart too late. We have secured airfare to Paris for next Tuesday and will spend a few days in the Loire Valley. Not a bad alternative.

I’ll guess I’ll find out. Our crossing next week was part of a bigger trip. We will recover enough in refunds to cover flights now to Paris and a few nights hotel, but I am out some bus and Eurostar tickets I cannot cancel for refund. The train tickets were unusually expensive due to the coronation and a holiday on the 8th. I’m not hopeful, but going to try. BTW, we are in your town frequently as our son and his wife live there.

I know this was about 27 years ago, but we were on a Holland America Panama Canal cruise. As we left Grand Cayman, our last stop, there was an explosion in the engine room. We were delayed getting into Fort Lauderdale by several hours I realize they had a day at sea to take care of things, but they rebooked everyone’s air arrangements.

Thank you for checking in.

April 30th officially canceled. Emails have been sent.

We are doing the same. Headed to Paris for four nights after the crossing, three of which are part of a AmaWaterways package. Then an AmaWaterways Rhone cruise that begins May 11. This is devastating. We can fly, which was our original plan, but it will cost us a small fortune now for flights.

Currently, my husband doesn’t get any internet credit. If we sail Cunard again it might be an issue. Hopefully they’ll work things out.

Appreciate the clarification. We definitely need the whole week. We have some family members that are more senior than we are and need to be accessible.

Thank you. Went back in and for some reason on my iPad the fine print is overridden by other information on the same page, which is probably why I missed it. Now I can see where that is stated.

Looking at internet offerings for our upcoming QM2 cruise. I get $45 credit, but it says I have to book the package onboard to get the credit. However, the cost of the packages goes up once onboard, from $18 to $24 per day for the Essentials package and from $24 to $36 per day for the Premium package. Seems the credit is useless if I can’t purchase in advance. Am I missing something?

Thank you. Anything is welcome. My husband claims I’m an artist at stuffing the laundry bag. Beautiful flowers.

Do you get two free bags of laundry because you are a repeat passenger, or does everyone get this?

We definitely freshen up before dinner. Since we’re coming off the QM2 we will nicer attire for a night or two.

Nice! I love the plush robes. But, we have several hotel nights so will have a lightweight robe as well. Not sure what mid-May will be like on the Rhone.
