Linking Dining Reservations

[57eric]

We have obtained a Travel With ID from Cunard in order to have our dining reservation linked with friends.  I am trying to locate the related information in my Voyage Personalizer to verify that the loop has been closed but I can't find it.  Can anyone help?

 

Thanks.

The information isn't on the Voyage Personaliser. I've had to 'phone Cunard, in the past, who then confirm the bookings have been linked or not.

Why do they make it hard on themselves, I wonder?

I've done this twice:

 

Step 1: Party A rings Cunard and asks for linked booking code

 

Step 2: Party B rings Cunard and tells them the code. Cunard says "we have linked your booking to Mr and Mrs so and so"

 

That's it.

It's as easy as Toad said, or do as we do and get your agent to do it for you. Agents have many uses and sorting your dining with friends, out, is one of them.

I knew the procedure and just wanted to verify that our other party had followed through.  If you've got a "Voyage Personalizer", this is exactly the sort of thing it ought to be used for, IMHO.

If your intended dining companions are on the voyage prior, they just need to visit the Maitre d'. No codes or calls required.

 

Yes, this does mean that the party boarding later may not be aware of the arrangement.

I've missed a bit out of course.

 

Party A needs to tell Party B the code !!!

Yeah - but expecting their website to meet current expectations is a fool's errand. Cunard does things their way.
