Pear Carr

Thank you for taking the time to post during and after your cruise! We are on in July and like you think we will like some things more/less than the other Queens but excited to try.

Thanks for taking one for the team - but no thanks - looks like wasted calories to me! Delighted you have managed to get your next trip sorted and look forward to reading about your continuing experience on Queen Anne. Thanks again for your input!

I do not understand or comprehend how this has happened given you have booked Cunard fare and chosen your cabin. Sounds very suspect and unheard of to me. Hope this matter is resolved soon in your favour.

Sorry Bright Lights!

The additional cost for speciality dining has been noted in another post. No charge for blue lights but need to book once on board and most items in Golden Lion are still included except for a couple of Michel Roux inspired dishes including cheese on toast and burgers.

Totally unacceptable and confusing for staff given table will have been allocated for a reason re: staffing/station. Selfish and not in the spirit of Cunard.

Has service (table and sommelier) improved in the main restaurants and what are people’s first impressions of the new Cunard Queen -now that you are likely getting your bearings?

I am also concerned that less choice/slower service in the main restaurants is a ploy to encourage people to use the alternative additional cost dining options.

My daughter and her partner flew to Toronto in October - did Niagara Falls and Quebec etc., then flew to Calgary where they picked up a car and did the sightseeing drive to Vancouver over 10 days. They flew back from Vancouver and flights to/from Toronto and Vancouver were booked with BA using Avios.

I must say I prefer the look/style of the PG cabins and restaurant compared to QG - good job that’s what we have booked!!

Thanks again.

I am getting holiday camp vibes from the Queens Room - basic and bland for easy maintenance! Also concerned about the wardrobe space - definitely not enough room to accommodate a two week cruise let alone a world voyage!

Having never done a fly/cruise before, what is the procedure once we land - I assume we collect our luggage and meet up with a Cunard rep for the transfer?

Thank you Watsonbeau!

Room service will deliver a jug of water (iced or not) on request to your cabin free of charge.

I have just rang Cunard with the same query - 22kg checked bag and 10kg cabin bag is included with Jet 2 via a Cunard booking. I have been advised that I cannot check in with Jet 2 prior to the flight but only on the day when seats will also be allocated.

Thank you in anticipation! We are on in July and looking forward to any input to this thread from those of you on Queen Anne’s maiden voyage.

Not sure about ‘the fun show’ - it is a political drama which has significantly raised the profile of the hundreds of postmasters wrongly accused of ‘faulty accounting’ which people still need to be held accountable for.

Grills passengers are given priority, as far as I’m aware, and would not be directed to queue outside whatever time you arrive.

This would suggest you will likely benefit from pre booking the drinks package - I believe it’s $72pp ($80 on board) per day. You need to factor in the itinerary/port days and if the drinks you prefer fall within the $13.50 price limit. I would suggest the $690OBC won’t go far if you also factor in the daily gratuities(hotel and dining). Obviously there are no additional service charges for drinks if you do opt for a package and you also get 20% off any drinks/wine over the price limit.

Not impressed with this snapshot in terms of decor/design but final payment now made and will come with an open mind and hope for the best!

Thank you - unfortunately I have never had much success with a TA and could do with a recommendation or two but sadly not allowed on CC.

Thank you!

Are there any benefits to booking a world cruise whilst on board? I know that there is no additional OBC over 25 days but unsure if the 3% saving is applicable to world cruise.
