Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes we have, full amount was sent to our credit card and was showing on our account on 8th February but back dated to the 5th by our bank.The pre booked excursions were refunded separately a day or two earlier. Hope you get your refund soon if you’ve not already.
  2. We were booked on Singapore to Southampton and when I rang for details of options I was told about the 500$ obc plus £2475 fcc or full refund. We chose the full refund, still waiting for confirmation email. We felt the new itinerary which we understand the reason for changes,wasn’t why we chose this cruise on QM2. Flights were booked by Cunard so no problem there and our hotel in Singapore we could cancel up to the day before we arrived so no loss there. We were disappointed having to cancel as we booked January 2022 and now busy looking for somewhere else to go before our Christmas cruise on QV! Hope everyone still going on this cruise have a lovely time.
  3. We did a Cunard British Isles cruise last month and called in at Kirkwall, we had been here before on. Princess cruise a few years ago. This time we were able to go on a tour from where our shuttle bus dropped us at the local bus station. This was run by the local bus company stage coach and cost us £21 each and left about 10.00am. No commentary but the driver did tell us about where we were going and the history. We visited Stromness for coffee, and walked to the stones, a bit like Stonehenge, Scapa Flow and beautiful scenery. We were lucky with the weather though.
  4. Just sailed Queen Victoria and disembarked 1/9/23 and purchased 6 bottle Captains Wine package at a cost of around 310$ an increase from 299$, included 15% as before. Can’t remember what the other one cost but that had increase from our previous cruise.
  5. Thanks to all for your advice and suggested hotels, which we are very grateful for . We’ve booked the Fairmount Hotel and the gold harbour view room. I’ve also checked out the Asia port of call board and found some very useful advice on how to spend our couple of days pre cruise in Singapore. Many thanks, Pam
  6. Again many thanks Port Royal, very useful information greatly received.
  7. We were on QV October 2022 and at the time gold and in Brittania Club. Boarding started early and we were on board for lunch.We were told to sit with priority and when it was announced, to go through with Princess Grills guests, as we were told they don’t normally mention club. In grills for next month’s cruise, also now Platinum, so waiting for our boarding time to see what we are assigned.
  8. Well, many thanks for all your replies, I think I’ll have to start looking at all the hotels mentioned, then decided where they are. Checked out one already the Fairmont, and as Port Royal recommended, the Harbour Gold room seems like what we’re looking for.We thought we’d like to be close to the cruise terminal but I’ve read that taxis aren’t that expensive anyway. We fly from Heathrow on 20th March @ 18.55 arrive in Singapore @ 15.55 on 21st, board Qm2 on 23rd. So I’ve been assigned to research and book by my dear husband. Once again, much appreciate all your input and advice. Pam.
  9. We are joining QM2 in Singapore sailing back to Southampton in March 2024. Flight has been booked through Cunard a couple of days before we sail and want to book hotel prior to boarding on 23rd. I’ve been told that normally hotels are available to book around 11 months before, for some reason they may still be “negotiating terms”. At the moment I’ve been told to keep ringing as it shouldn’t be long now. I have looked at booking direct with an hotel but would prefer to let Cunard arrange it all, then any problems are theirs! What would you do?
  10. We recently were in 7071 Northern Lights cruise in October, this is a Club Balcony though. 6090 looks on the deck plans the same size balcony which we loved. The weather was cold for us but we did manage to make use of the space whilst in port. I would book one of those cabins again without a doubt. Enjoy. Pam
  11. We received ours today, they thank us for “our amazing hardwork” and couldn’t have done it without you! It continues that our dedication and passion, so thankful to have us as member of ships company. And it is from Senior Management Team. Meant for staff I think not paying customers. Merry Christmas!
  12. Sailing soon on QV Northern Lights cruise and reading this thread with interest regarding internet costs. At the moment we are gold members of world club and one of the now perks is 45$ each towards package. As we’ll only use 1 iPad can the 45$ for both of us offset the full cost if we decide to take it up for whole cruise (purchase on 2nd day).thanks.
  13. Thanks for all replies, yes my confirmation email mentioned the 15% would be added to our on board account. I intend to cancel the charge when we are on board. Maybe Cunard will be giving me 15% refund of excursion cost as a thank you for booking online!
  14. We are sailing on Queen Victoria in October and have started to look at excursions. We have booked one for Tromso and received a confirmation email. Is it normal for Cunard to add 15% service charge to your onboard account, which they say you can amend or cancel once on board? I can understand , I think, if I dealt with someone to help with booking but I did it through my Cunard online myself.
