A Good Cruise Specialist TA has cruise line contacts that you don't have. A Top Producer Agency for that cruise line has even more clout. Add to that , Cunard permits US TA's to discount even their best rates. Check your Direct Deal then the TA's. Remember that Cunard does not permit US TA's to advertise their lower rates. You must contact them for their rates. As a former Cruise Specialist TA for 17+ years , I know what I know.

Been sailing aboard the QM2 for many years since 2004. The number of Tables for 2 in Brittania have multiplied . Very popular , but should not be a problem walk up, but reserve if you wish. Be prepared for 6" between tables.

The following notification now appears for new Cunard bookings using the TA's POLAR booking tool. Notification No 09 Notification Date 07NOV23 **Assistance Requirements** In the unlikely event of an emergency, it is important we have sufficient and specific support for guests who require additional assistance, and we have advance notice of this. Please read the following declaration of assistance needs for your voyage, even if you are travelling with someone who can support you. Guests who are unable to get to their assembly stations independently (which could involve several flights of stairs as lifts will not be available) due to a disability, health, or mental capacity must be pre-registered for assistance to ensure we have sufficient support. Failure to provide this could result in being denied boarding at your own expense. If you do require assistance using the below statements, please advise us of the level of assistance required. *Someone to guide and steady me on the stairs (121 assistance) For anyone bringing a mobility aid this is a recommended minimum requirement. *I'm unable to use stairs (emergency evacuation chair) For anyone who is a full /part time wheelchair or mobility scooter user this is a mandatory requirement. I have read the above Notification

Look around you . If guests are finding difficulty locating a table for Dining and you are taking up a table reading a book , playing cards , or chatting group , move out of that Dining area please. Lots of other public spaces.

Or Port of Call 😉

I began cruising in the late 70's. I don't recall the cruise line (may have been Home Lines) and recall not having a TV upon embarkation but as we sailed TV's were installed in all cabins. They then only had a signal in and near ports.

Wonder what could cause that person to react like that?

Booked on our 18th Cunard cruise since 1979. Always a black suit for Gala Nights and jacket for smart Casual when it use to be required. Never felt out of place , ever,always Brittania Class.

No, it covers the charge .

We always choose a ship photo and the best one of the 2 of us as our 2 free choices. Nice Diamond perk 👍

Rule is Carry on only. Having had a full suitcase of cruise clothes soaked by someone's "leaking luggage" I agree 100%

The QM2 July 03 2026 Independence Day 7 night cruise r/t NYC spending July 4th watching the Macy’s Fireworks instead of Boston for a change up looks interesting. She did that once years ago on the yearly Independence Day sailing to view OPSail and the fireworks.😁

For many years , the bottle of Pol Acker was the subject of jokes and undrinkability comments . Seems now that the bottles are half of their original size , everyone is upset?

Yes , the stink still lingers in the casino on those nights.

Smokers keep us out of the casino . Even stinks on non smoking evenings. Saves us a a lot of $$$ on our cruising .

We used National Express bus several times . Clean buses that are reservable online and above all economical .😊

Recently aboard the Mariner they came thru the Windjammer every day with 30% discounts for Speciality Restaurants .

How about the Spa pool area ?

I thought that there would be lots of new photos posted by now ?

Most cruise lines do not allow TA’s to Advertise their lower rates. You must actually contact them to get those discounted rates.

Yes, even if it is a non refundable deposit you can cancel and rebook that deposit prior to Final .

Trades are the Travel Agencies . Posting is from POLAR , the travel agents booking system.for some Carnival Corp lines.

We have always done Walkoff @ Brooklyn. Always near 7AM. Have booked flights around noon from all 3 airports and had time to spare . Changed to earlier flight a couple times when we used Uber instead of Cunard Transfer.
