We only ever use Cruise Connect, either via Cunard themselves or by booking with them privately, never had a problem and we can't praise them and their drivers enough. My advice to you is NOT to go for self disembark, but to ensure that you have the appropriate labels on your luggage for the Cruise Connect coach - any problems or doubts go via the pursers desk team.

 

When you disembark via the labelling system, you are directed from setting foot on the ground until you board the coach, by the Cruise Connect team.

 

Every cruise that we take is via Cruise Connect from Lancashire to Southampton and return. Everything will go okay.

Hello David,

Thankyou for the information. This is the first time I have travelled to Southampton via coach all other times have always been by car. Cruise Connect have not provided me any Labels would I get these from the Purser Desk when I let them know my requirements?. Its going to be a long journey down I live in Penrith but will have to travel to Carlisle to collect the coach, I assume we will have a few stops.

Kindest regards

Host Hattie, thankyou so much for this it is a weight off my mind, I was wondering how on earth I was going to manage especially with 2 trips to New York and a bit of mobility problems. Once again THANK YOU

Good afternoon all,

Travelling soon from Cumbria to Southampton by coach with Intercruise/Cruise Connect. I didnt book via the Cunard Website but booked independently . My question is that the return coach leaves at 9 am from Southampton, would I be better off doing Self Disembarkation from the QM2 even though this would be difficult with 2 suitcases and hand luggage (i;m away for 26 days)..

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Kindest regards

Jennie

We are on that cruise (actually the round trip from Southampton) but as of tonight we haven't heard a peep from Cunard - not even the letter everyone else seems to have received by email - Cruise Critic should bill them for the communication service ;)

I've not heard a word either........

Jennie

Thank you everyone for your replies it has been so helpfull. Line dancing in the morning could help with maintaining/reducing the weight. I will do my best to be carefull , well perhaps for the first couple of days. I must have read the courtesy bus details wrong, it looks like I will be booking a seat on the Macy Bus but would have loved to go on the ferry but due to mobility (Knee's) i think that would be best. Hopefully as I will be going to NY twice, on the second trip on the 8th December the bus back at 2.30 will be delayed to a later time due to the Premiere on board that evening, heres hoping.

Once again thank you to everyone who replied for your helpfull and informed information only 2 weeks to go....

Kindest Regards

Thank you, great information

Jennie

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am travelling soon on QM2 (19 Nov - 26 Days Southampton round trip ) and as it has been a few years since I last boarded I have a few questions which hopefully some of you can answer.

1. When do the ships clocks change

2. Booked Cunard Fare, when is the best time to book the courtesy bus to get into New York.

3. Booked a portside sheltered cabin will I get much daylight on the translantic

4. Please dont laugh but I am on Slimming World and would like to continue if at all possible while away, for breakfast I love Kippers, are these served without butter and can I get fresh Conference Pears or Raspberries.

5. Any tips you would like to share.

So looking forward to being aboard again.

Thankyou so much for reading and hopefully will have lots of replies.

Kindest regards

Thanks for info on Amber Cove, sounds a bit like Grand Turk. Lets hope for good weather.

Just looked at Cunard website and they are now advertising Nov 19th 2017 (26 day roundtrip) without St Thomas and St Martin. Instead we will go to Amber Cove and St Lucia. Has anyone been to Amber Cove, as I have not been before?

Jennie

A big thank you to everyone ............. 8 weeks and counting........

Jennie

I wonder if anyone can enlighten me please..... I'm travelling in November on QM2 for 26 nights and I was interested to find out what is offered to eat in the evenings in the Kings Court (apart from the speciality sections) if for some reason I dont want to go to the Brittania Restaurant one night, So looking forward to my trip and your expert replies, xx

Thank you for posting this.

Kind regards, Jennie
