Thanks. I should know more tomorrow.

The fire doors prevent signal. I was told that when ship goes into dry dock there will be routers in all the cabins

I think it’s the amount of compensation that concerns me this was not a one week Caribbean cruise with luggage filled with tshirts and shorts. We spent 18 nights in queens grill and we dressed up every night. We like expensive clothes and some items were purchased during our travels. Many items are irreplaceable. One fabulous beaded evening bag was hand made in Paris for my mother. Priceless . Of course providing receipts will be impossible. some folks packed jewelry and they were freaking out and crying. We know better. right now it’s a hot mess. Luckily I have a great ta with fabulous connections. He is taking the lead. what should they have done? I’m guessing there 30 or so cabins affected. So simple. They should have had someone call each guest to reassure them that everything possible was being done to retrieve the baggage. They should have had a rep at the pier when luggage was recovered to inform the owners. We all filled out detailed paperwork. And the claims center should be open. They get an f for how they are handling this

Passengers have no recourse with port and stevedores. They have no legal duty to passengers. They do have a legal duty of care to Cunard our contract/ relationship is with Cunard and we look to them for compensation. Cunard can look to port to recover if it wishes to basic contract law i have AirTags in all my bags. One of the lost bags recently turned up at the pier. It is showing its location in intervals. No one from Cunard is there to contact people if bags were recovered (which they promised to do) and the office handling claims for Cunard is closed for the weekend. Really? they don’t seem to be too concerned

I was a high powered lawyer irrelevant I’m looking for what is expected. Nothing more not happening as I see it the luggage gets dropped into the sea through utter negligence, not to be recovered, and they are not being at all proactive disgraceful

Just got email from cunard they are not handling this well at all disgraceful

We have lost some irreplaceable pieces but it’s just stuff. It’s not health If money can fix it it’s not a problem I expect generous compensation from Cunard. My ta has spoken to them already and he agrees. They are well aware that our bags were not filled with shorts and t shirts I also have additional insurance if need be

My ta very involved. I doubt the minimum will apply here. He expects quick resolution.

From my ta NY Times is taking photos of the cities flooding for the front page. They are looking at some luggage floating down the Hudson River past the Statue of Liberty. Have to wait and see what gets published.

When unloading luggage today from qm2 in Brooklyn at least 2 full carts of luggage fell in ocean. A lot of angry people. Some luggage floated to surface. We were told they would try to get divers. Very little information shared. Even if they can retrieve luggage everything will surely be ruined. I am not making this up

Enjoy. The qm2 is very special. We will wave to you as we disembark

Silversea uses captain cook only good hotel there

See you on board we were also loyal crystal cruisers you will love regent

I do the same take the credit that jw is indeed great

There is extreme intolerance for contrary opinions on food my frame of reference for what is great food may be quite different from others. same with entertainment. Those who were brought up with Broadway or west end productions will view production show on a ship more critically then someone from a small town in eg Iowa who has never been to a great theater

I never raised the issue of caviar. I just responded that I hadn’t seen any when you mentioned it reread the thread

It is not snarky to say food is mediocre. It is opinion the hostility on these boards toward contrary opinion is astounding

He’s not in the wrong place. I have spoken to others on board who are not impressed with qg food. Every line has pluses and minuses. No cruise line is perfect. There are aspects of Cunard that I think are great and I am loving my b2b sailing. you really need to be more tolerant of opinions contrary to yours. They are opinions. We are all entitled to our own. I would go on qm2 again but not because the food is great

Don’t you dare say that on the crystal boards. Heresy. ships are old but they where just refurbished after a&k purchase. Cabins tiny entertainment enrichment and service were superb but you can find that on other lines

I too enjoy having same waiter. Like you I if I like a particular server I ask to be seated in his or her area. It can be done

And for yours

It is not at all stuffy but I don’t think the food is remotely as good as what is offered on the luxury lines.

He is on board. Doing presentations

I didn’t think about it

We have a Michelin star chef on this food and wine cruise. Some of his dishes are on menu
