Cancellation policy despite deferred payment date

[Lynnewob]

Interesting discussion with travel agent today about QE 24 June 2021 booking where balance is due on 18 March 2021. Told TA Cunard doesn't require balance until 25 May 2021, so I would pay them 14 days before the May due date, which is normal.

They called Cunard to check T&Cs. These have not been changed, despite the final payment date change:

91 days - loss of deposit

90-57 days - 50%

56-42 days - 60%

41-16 days - 75%

15-6 days - 90%

less than 6 days - 100%

So, if anyone is minded to cancel when Cunard's balance is due (now 30 days), bear in mind you will pay 75% of the fare.

 

Note - if you transfer your booking to another cruise, there is currently no admin fee and the deposit will be moved to the new cruise.

 

This is just applicable to cancellations.

The cancellation policy as opposed to transferring a cruise has been on their website headed in large letters for nearly a month and is very difficult to miss.

Up to all to read the terms and conditions.

The above table I posted is for cruises sailing before 15th August 2021.

 

The information given to Lynnewob is for cruises sailing  after 16th August 2021.

Thank you Ray.

Your reply is so much more comprehensive. I copied the information but for some reason, it was  so huge it would have taken over the CC site! 😀
