Cunard Cruiser Posted May 13, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi I know that there was a thread a few months ago regarding the 5% onboard booking discount taken away. Is this still the case? I called the CA office and a representative told me the 5% is available if you book at the Purser’s office. Which sounds wrong to me. Wouldn’t it be with the Travel and Tour office? Another rep told me that they offer shipboard discounts instead of 5% savings upfront. Has anyone booked for a future crossing/cruise while onboard? Also, I still have no sail mail even though the World desk took my info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserking Posted May 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Sea-Sea, When we were aboard for the March 9 cruise I inquired about booking future cruises with the onboard tour office, there is no longer a discount instead however each cabin is offered $200 toward shipboard expenses. I've also enrolled countless times for sail and still have not received a blessed thing. I email them back and the World Club tells me I'm signed up it's a fun little game we're playing, duck, duck Cunard, currently I'm it.

LM1 Posted May 13, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2005 We tried to book onboard for a future crossing while on the April 22 and 28th crossing through the Tour office. We were told we could get a 5 percent discount, but only on select crossings and couldn't add that to other discounts that may be offered off the ship. The woman we spoke to said we probably would do alot better booking on our own through Cunard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2moose Posted May 14, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Sign Up For Sail Mail Much Better Prices If You Are Flexible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobella Posted May 14, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I think that SAILMAIL is a figment of Cunard's PR department! I have signed up numerous times and have yet to receive a single e-mail from them! I have used the Cunard web-site to ask questions about the QM2, and no response has been sent! What's a girl to do?!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM1 Posted May 15, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Yeah, same here. Never received a sailmail yet after a year. Always have to call to find out about any deals or ask about ones on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueensFan Posted May 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I recieve SailMail all the time! I think I signed up via that popup that comes up with a guy sitting on a rock with QE2 in the background. Also, I think you can sign up when you request brochures. I have to sign up again, I have it on my old email account that I still have, but never use. You never know when a great deal will come along! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOESNT SOUND LIKE MUCH OF A DISCOUNT TO ME.100/200/300 USD CABIN ALLOWANCE IS OFFERED BY AMERICAN EXPRESS QUITE OFTEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highcbob Posted May 16, 2005 #11 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hello 2Moose - that's right, not much discount anymore, therefore not much of an incentive to get one motivated onboard to book a future trip. Looks like the grill accommodation ship-board credit is not too bad though. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
