Fish & Chips

Apologies if this has already been asked previously but I have searched and can’t find the answer. We are booked on the QM2 Southampton to Freemantle in January. My query is can we pay for a drinks package for just one leg of the world cruise, ie Cape Town to Freemantle. Certainly can’t afford to pay for 37 nights and don’t think my liver would appreciate it. One leg would be affordable for us. Thanks for your suggestions 

Thanks everyone for your replies. It’s not for any controlled medicine just blood pressure tablets. The receptionist at my surgery informed me that I can’t have a prescription for 3 months. I should have also added that I am in the UK.

Can anyone advise what they do regarding repeat prescriptions during a world cruise. I have been told that I am unable to obtain a prescription for 3 months.

Apologies if this has been asked before but I can’t find the answer. We are booked on the QM2 from Southampton to Perth (2024 World Cruise). We will then spend 4 weeks in Australia before flying to Singapore to rejoin the QM2 and sailing back to Southampton. Are there any facilities to leave our formal wear on board whilst we are in Australia? Thanks 

We have booked a cruise with P&O Australia for January 2024. Unfortunately we need to cancel. This has proved to be an ordeal. I submitted an online form and eventually received a reply. BUT the reply was to contact them by phone and informed me that the final payment was due on the 16th November 2022. This is incorrect because it is not due until November 2023. 

We hold Australian bank accounts so we paid the deposit in AU dollars.

I'm really unhappy with P&O Australia customer service.

Due to the time difference and expense it would be difficult to contact them on Monday.

Any suggestions please?

So glad I found your post. I received an email from Cunard to say we had $90 each OBC for our November cruise. Not sure why but it would be rude to not accept :)

Thank you for such an informative post. We are thinking of booking a cruise on the Journey from Australia to Hong Kong in 2024. Should we book direct or through a travel agent? Have cruised with other companies eg P&O, Royal Caribbean, Cunard and have used travel agents. 

Apologies because I know this has been discussed previously but I can't find the information. I have a Flexplus account with Nationwide and want to download and print off the confirmation of cover. Can anyone help please? Also we have booked QE January 2022 so will this insurance cover us?

Thank you everyone for your great replies.  It's getting so exciting and we are looking forward to spending 3 days in Quebec. 

If I may ask another question 🙂 As UK citizens will we need a visa for Canada? I have found conflicting advice, such as only if you are flying into a Canadian airport. We are wondering if we should just get one anyway.

Thanks Host Hattie that's a great help. Having not been to Quebec previously I need to know how far the park is from the cruise terminal.

Strange topic I know, but we usually spend our Saturday mornings running 5K around our local park. We have also done this in Australia. Does anybody know if there is a Park Run in Quebec? 

Thank you all for such informative replies. I can see that we are going to have a busy time. It may even require a return journey in the future.

Thank you for your very informative reply. We can start planning and getting excited.

Hello to all you knowledgable people. We are due to embark in Southampton on 26th September 2019 and very excited. We have never been to Canada before and are over whelmed regarding the excursions offered by Cunard. My question is: which trips are a must do? and can we do any cheaper than Cunard? Thanks for your help.
