Rare Pushpit Posted May 20 #26 Share Posted May 20 My Cunard for my next QM2 (August, so a month after the OP) also has Verandah lunch at $25 at the moment. I have Coriander rather than Bamboo, and that does show the higher amount, $31.50 booked in advance. On my QM2 sailing last week, Verandah lunch - on board - was $35, and Bamboo also $35 for the evening meal. Verandah dinner was $65. So the onboard price rise is already in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattycoram Posted May 20 #27 Share Posted May 20 Wow, I feeling happy I booked Bamboo in advance--assuming the old price of $20 is honored, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it will be honoured, lucky you - I hope you bought a lottery ticket on the same day. (Plus you won't need to count the pennies when booking Cunard!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted May 21 #29 Share Posted May 21 Cunard seem to be turning the screw with regards to large increases across all aspects of cruising. Can't help but think that it will be a backward step as it will certainly stop me from booking speciality restaurants. I should also imagine that onboard drinks will have increased along with recent drinks package increases and the stopping of taking spirits onboard. Where will it end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they stopped people taking spirits on board? On this voyage, I believe, the specialty restaurants are fully booked. What that implies about the MDR food I don’t know, though ours has been very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie202020 Posted May 21 Author #31 Share Posted May 21 Is the Verandah dinner worth it? I won't have enough OBC to cover the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have thought so, unless the food in the dining rooms has significantly deteriorated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During a call (two weeks ago) to a US based Cunard rep, he adamantly stated that there are no changes to the current Cunard policy of bringing spirits/wine onboard. Some are assuming, because P&O is changing policy, that Cunard is following suit. From what I was told - no changes. But as we know, Cunard policies and communications could vary but with this booze issue, doubtful. If Americans can bring booze onboard and Britons can’t, Cunard may end up with a reverse occurrence of the Boston Tea Party, this time the “other” side throwing the tea overboard!

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted June 28 #34 Share Posted June 28 Is it still possible to book lunch at Verandah in advance? I just looked online and all I see are evening hours. I get lunch there as a WC perk, so do I have to book that onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a problem booking onboard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
