This message came via email: An important update to Cunard’s final payment policy.

Dear Xxxx, We are here to help give you a little more time to make a decision on your cruise vacation.

World Voyages and Segments of the World Voyage on Queen Mary 2® and Queen Victoria® that are entering final payment in August and September 2022.

The Cunard® Final Payment due date is now reduced from 150 days or 120 days to 90 days prior to sailing. For cruises on Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria with Final Payment in October and onward, the final payment date returns to our published policy. This change applies to new and existing bookings on cruises booked in North America and adjustments will be made automatically on guest bookings – no need to call us. For full details on all payment and cancelation policy enhancements, click here. Before you travel, please remember to visit our website to see the very latest wellbeing measures and requirements you can expect before and during your voyage. These protocols continue to be subject to change and may do so prior to your sailing, as we work with our experts and with government bodies across all the destinations we visit to ensure all of our practices evolve in line with the latest advice. We look forward to welcoming you on board in the new year.

We received this email as well.  Personally I think it is a wise move for Cunard to take this step.  With the world still in flux it allows people to make a more informed decision closer to the departure date without Cunard having to issue refunds.  It also allows for Cunard to make necessary port or itinerary changes closer to departure and have the time to advise customers who may wish to cancel due to those changes.

Interesting. I’ll be watching to see if we received a similar email.
