NSWP Posted February 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2017 cruises to NZ and Tas Only here for a couple months apparently, it will fill up with Aussies.:evilsmile: That's why it is coming here. They have wrecked QE though adding cabins aft and losing the nice raked aft decks. QV is next on the chopping block. Blame the bean counters at Carnival Corp, all about bodies in bunks. Who knows what they will do to QM2 to cram another 300 pax on. Put a few in the dog kennels for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted February 28, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted February 28, 2017 QM2 is offering more round trips next year too, not a lot more but a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Win, win for us, especially if the pricing is competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Womble99 Posted February 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2017 So where do we find more info on this? The Cunard site only goes to end of 2018 from what I can see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Creek Posted February 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2017 This was an email i got: Cunard will base Queen Elizabeth in Australia in 2019. Cunard has announced Queen Elizabeth will spend two months in Australian waters in 2019, the longest deployment down under for any of the line's current fleet. The vessel will operate seven different cruises from Sydney and Melbourne, including two trans-Tasman voyages, three to Tasmania and two stopping by South Australia. The itineraries form part of Cunard's 2019 world voyage program, which will be released on 14 Mar and go on sale 30 Mar. Cunard vice president international development David Rousham said Queen Elizabeth's local 2019 season would offer a total of 27 combination itineraries. "This will be the first time that Cunard has featured so many voyages to and from Melbourne in addition to Sydney, and will give Australians a much greater number of options to experience Cunard than ever before," Rousham said.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted February 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Win, win for us, especially if the pricing is competitive. Bear in mind that Australians will be competing with overseas cruisers for space as I am sure the cruises will be widely promoted in Britain and North America. It will be their winter and it will be promoted as a "safe : destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but they will still be looking to fill the ship completely.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, there were no cabins added to QE, she was designed and built that way originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbane41 Posted March 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2017 If it was the Queen Mary 2 that they were sending it would certainly get my interest. In reality this is just another Vista class ship and in reality is nothing different to the HAL versions or P&O's Arcadia. As a result it has no special appeal to it whatsoever and will not entice me to doing a cruise on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Womble99 Posted March 14, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Didn't see any sign of itineraries today :( would have been nice to see whats going to be on offer exactly. Advertising blurb on the Cunard page was pretty lack luster for the Aus/Nz region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Womble99 Posted March 14, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I too would like to see the itineraries and prices.:D Both would have been great but I could have settled for just the itineraries today. At least then I can see exactly where and when they are going, worry about if I can afford it later [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
