exlondoner Posted December 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Well, I didn’t really want to be on QA at all, but with QE away and QV mainly doing fly cruises, we have suddenly found ourselves going to the Canaries on QA, if her start isn’t postponed again. What about you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac1953 Posted December 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Yes! Booked QA rather reluctantly. My TA managed to secure my second choice (which is identical to my first) on the November trip to Madeira and the Canaries (again), Went for 7257 on the stern. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t make much difference, but I do usually get the first choice. Does this mean there is a lot of interest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BklynBoy8 Posted December 6, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Yes, several days ago..... We booked the QM2 4th of July 2023 NE/CAN......even introducing a friend to the QM2 first time Edited December 6, 2022 by BklynBoy8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted December 6, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Booked for October 2024 [M432B] and got the midships sheltered balcony room we wanted. I checked the personalizer, and noticed that our 'world club' status was not shown - the WC numbers are shown on the $UNNAMED_TRAVEL_AGENCY confirmation, so they should have been provided to Cunard along with the passport and other information.

Rare Selbourne Posted December 6, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Much to our surprise, we have managed to book our first Cunard cruise today (Queen Anne 2024) a day before we thought would be possible, given that we are first timers so not high loyalty tier. Our first choice cabin and deposit paid within an hour of booking opening. I have started a thread with a newbie question on Britannia Club dining which I hope that some of you seasoned Cunarders can help me with please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennetro Posted December 6, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Tried & tried to book a QG on QM2 for Dec. 2024, but it kept rejecting my World Club # every time I entered it (...and I was entering it directly from my card!). I gave up, but was pleasantly surprised when our Cruise Planner called me to tell me he had already reserved a room for us about an hour earlier. Got exactly what we wanted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballroom-cruisers Posted December 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Looks like it has not been an issue booking today. At least we had an easy time doing it and no problem for the voyage and room we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like for online booking the primary passenger has the Cunard World Club details listed but not other passengers - but when the confirmation email arrives the world club status of all passengers is there in the attached .pdf conformation file, provided the world club membership number was added during the booking process.

IB2 Posted December 6, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Host Hattie said: I hope you got what you wanted Got through on the phone after forty minutes waiting, during the first hour bookings were open. Took the last available KC on the westbound TA and left just one for some later customer on the eastbound. We have to wait until Thursday or Friday to find out whether our kennel requests can be met or whether the waitlist beckons....

Jonem2001 Posted December 6, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Yes, booked the 7 nighter Atlantic Coast and Iberia in October ‘24 (half term!) and the final two nighter to Hamburg in Jan ‘25, both on QA. Given the newness of the ship, the potential attractiveness of both itineraries, and the fact I couldn’t get to the computer to log on until 1:30, I really expected disappointment. There was no problem in either case, which did surprise me; but I’m not complaining! I was able to select from a huge range of cabins on the deck plan selector, so I got what I wanted (although my requirements weren’t that specific). The first booking will be my first 7-night cruise; and my first since hitting Platinum. Maybe by then the cocktail parties will have resumed? I won’t hold my breath!

BrisbaneR Posted December 6, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I was delighted and relieved to get through on the phone and book QA for a Norwegian Fjords cruise in June 2024. There had been a problem with my credit card authorisation meaning that I couldn't book on line - cue intense frustration and a feeling that I would miss out. But the woman on the phone at Cunard was extremely helpful and patient (especially considering the volume of calls they must have had today) and it worked out. My cruise will be shortly after QA's delayed maiden voyage and everything will still be very new. Something to look forward to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sogne Posted December 6, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Booked 3 QA 24 including Xmas with 1st choice balcony on all 3 through our excellent TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigrlewis Posted December 6, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 6, 2022 We booked (H417) Queen Anne to British Isles and Iceland Primarily booked for Iceland part. Thought we would try one of those funny “alternative configuration” obstructed balcony cabins and did 4059 Having just returned from Iberia in PG I was wanting that but my partner was having none of it. Tis true once you try the Grills its hard not to go back there! Irritatingly my partners FCC showed on the booking page then disappeared and we were charged more. So need to call up and rectify that now. Their IT really is woeful Figured we would try the new ship with an open mind and see what its like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie29 Posted December 6, 2022 #19 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Yes booked 15th Dec Northern Europe on QA . We also booked one of the odd configuration obstructed view balcony cabins on Deck 4. Will be interesting to see what they are like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah guess these cabins will either be dreadful or quirky and nice! shame they don't provide an artists impression of those balconies look larger but of course the deck plan may not be realistically to scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8611202 Posted December 6, 2022 #21 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I forgot to ask when I booked QA today whether any complimentary OBC is being applied for any of her 2024 voyages. My booking confirmation doesn’t show any, which it would normally, so just wanted to check other guests experience. I booked a 4 day voyage in Q4, and have previously always had some OBC on the other ships. regardless of length of voyage. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballroom-cruisers Posted December 6, 2022 #22 Share Posted December 6, 2022 There was a choice of some OBS, or coach travel to the ship, and one other option I think. The default was some OBS. The email confirmations were taking time to come in, but then there are often delays on launch day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJBL Posted December 6, 2022 #24 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) We booked QM2 to the Norwegian Fjords in June 2024. We took our first ever cruise on QV in November this year and were very keen to try QM2 this time. I fear this might be the start of an expensive habit!
