sissy3 Posted July 2, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Wonder if you sage cruisers can shed some light.... I called to book a last minute crossing on the QM2. I called several of the big discounters(Vacations to Go,Cruise-connections,Cruisesonly) and as a last resort,Cunard. There was no availability save a Princess Suite, and that was not in my budget. Long story short: now I put down a deposit and am on a waiting list for a oceanview or obstructed-view balcony at a very reasonable price.There are three people ahead of me on the waiting list.The sailing is July 16. Do I stand a chance? or shall I just tuck my tail between my legs and....fly?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Flower Posted July 2, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just keep your fingers crossed... hopefully you WILL get on... I'd hate to have to fly across the Pond! Doesn't anyone else have something to say about this? Come on, people, help us out here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgsmuzzy Posted July 2, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2008 With three ahead of you, I think you will be lucky to get a cabin. The only think you can hope for is that Cunard "backfill" any cancellations in grades above yours. Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperrn Posted July 2, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Called a site I had already called without luck earlier in the week and lo and behold---I am booked and ready to sail! Now where did I put my white dinner jacket?;) Congratulations! I'm so pleased for you! I get off QM2 in Southampton as you get on for your crossing. I'll be sure to leave the Commodore Club in good condition for you, and, as I board her again on the 28th, could you return the favour? By the way, you'll certainly stand out wearing your white dinner jacket amongst all the many black and the odd one or two ivory ones :D . Once again, congratulations, you'll have a great time on your TA I'm sure, I did on mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissy3 Posted July 2, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Oooh,you lucky thing you! Just popping across for a couple of weeks,then back to New York in a most civilized fashion. Don't you worry...I'll leave the Commodore Club just the way I found it. However, you may not recognize the Big Apple upon your return as I have every intention of painting it red! Have a great trip:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
