Cabin Availabilty - A curious situation.

[Zeg]

I’m grateful that this thread has naturally developed into another peculiar area of Cunard’s systems that also interests me. 
 

Ive noticed that a number of TAs feature cruises that cannot be found on the Cunard website (but can on a google search). 
 

For example M611R cannot be found on the Cunard.com cruise website (U.K. users). Neither is it a searchable on that site by cruise number.   However Google Cunard M611R and voila there it is!  Furthermore the link takes you to (another different???) Cunard.Com and it’s bookable!  
 

Very strange.

This is an issue with some of the new cruises that were recently added to QM2's schedule to fill a gap that had been in her schedule for May 15-June 24, 2026. Some of those new cruises can be found via the search function and some of them cannot on the Cunard UK website. None of them can be found at all yet via the search function on the Cunard US website. But they are all there on both websites if you retrieve them via their URL's. Here's the complete list of links to look up any of those new QM2 cruises on the Cunard UK website directly from their URL's as mentioned in the earlier thread I started last week titled "New QM2 voyages added for May-June 2026".

When I search on Cunard.com/en-gb I do find M611R. 🙂 (I was just curious.)

That's interesting. Here's what I'm getting when I search for voyage M611R by voyage number on the Cunard UK website. I use a VPN to make it look like I'm in the UK, so that might have something to do with it.

 

 

I can't find voyages M611A, M611E or M611R this way on the UK site. But I can find voyages M611B, M611C, M611D, M611F, M611N, M611P, M611Q, M611S and M611T this way on the UK site. That's why I figured this was some kind of glitch on the UK site for those three specific new voyages I can't find.

 

For what it's worth, I can't find any of the new QM2 voyage numbers this way on the Cunard US site yet.

In France I don't see M611E using the filters on UK site, but do find it using search.

 

I did have a UK VPN active a few days ago for other reasons but didn't try searching then.

The other issues are resolved so I deactivated the VPN as it can cause some problems with local sites.

Thanks, @D&N. Just so I'm clear, are you finding voyage M611E on the UK site using the same search method by voyage number I tried? Or have you found it using some other search method?

I couldn't get the search box to appear under the Apply Filter button as in your screenshot.

I used the main site search opened from the left hand icon on the band just below the header Cunard logo.

Thank you. That explains it. I can find M611E using that Search Cunard "Site search" function on the UK site as well. I didn't think to try that. I still can't find it that way on the US site though.

 

The "Search by cruise number" method I was using appears when I click on any of the cruise search filters on the site's home page from my desktop browser. In the screen shot I posted, I had clicked on "Duration". It then displays the various values for that filter, plus a "Search by cruise number" box below those values. That "Search by cruise number" box also appears when I click on "Sail to", "Depart from" or "Departure date". From the browser on my phone (or if I narrow the window enough on my desktop browser), there is a separate "Search by cruise number" filter.

@bluemarble

Found your search box using the URL in your screenshot. I can't find M611E that way with or without a VPN. It does find M514 and M621C.

 

I was filtering from the URL below, which I accessed from Cruises>2026 cruises>View all 2026 voyages. The various filters there do not produce that search box.

Yes it's interesting, and strange. 🙂

I hadn't thought to try that "Site search" functionality. I was trying to use the "Search by cruise number" cruise search filter. You would think they would both work but not in this case. I can't find three of the new QM2 cruises (including M611R) using any of the cruise search filters on the UK site.

Thanks. That’s really useful and does shed some light on things. Seems the more one looks into the Cunard website the more mysterious it becomes!
