Interesting. Seems to be a deceptive discount if that is the case. Appreciate experienced Cunarders chiming in.

We were under the impression that on the package the 15% gratuity was included for drinks over $13.50 if purchased, less the 20% discount. ie. $15 drink becomes $12 drink charged to your account. As you are suggesting, it is not really a 20% discount for drinks over $13.50 if on the drinks package. i.e $15 + $2.25 (15% gratuity) less 20% discount becomes a $13.80 drink. Is that correct?

Ahhhhhh got it. Apologies for my ignorance and thanks for your input. 🙂

Sorry, again being a newbie, not understanding. Is this a loyalty level? ie silver gold diamond Or is this a benefit of being in QG?

what is a diamond coupon - paperless or otherwise. Sorry don't understand the reference

Not sure what that is but don't think us Aussies get one 😞

That is our situation too. My DH loves his Rum Baba but we are already in QG so seems silly to pay an extra USD$100 to eat elsewhere on board.

We have heard amazing things about the Rum Baba in the Verandah Restaurant but as we are travelling in Queens Grill we are not planning to dine at the Verandah on our 5 night trip as it seems a waste. Believe it maybe possible to order this dessert by pre-order in QG......can anyone confirm from experience?

I know I may get flamed but does anyone have any success on QE with these devices? My DH is a wanderer and yet another internet package seems excessive when we are up to 3 already.

Can anyone please tell me if you have to take priority disembarkation when in QG? We don't need to depart early to catch a flight or anything so would really rather stay till (not quite but close to) the last minute. Seems a bit ass about to have the best cabins kicked off first but to my understanding, QG get priority to disembark but wanted to know if we can request a later disembarkation time. Thanks for any insights.

Thanks Bell Boy, exactly what I was hoping to confirm. 🙂

Sorry folks, I may not have been clear. I meant can you order it in say the Grills Lounge or the Commodore to enjoy (paying for it as per room service) not for eating in Queens Grill restaurant at meal times.

Hi Cunarders, Can anyone tell me if the Caviar option available on room service menu can be ordered elsewhere on the ship? Also, anyone know the type of Caviar served? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone advise regarding what time you can drop off luggage for a Cunard cruise departing from Sydney?

After kicking our toes on hard cases multiple times under the bed on one particular cruise our butler was horrified we hadn't requested they be stored. He said they would take them to storage for us and return the day before disembarking. No more painful tootsies!

Thanks for the info but prefer to get the bags out of the cabin. Anyone done this in the past on Cunard?

Don't know, hence the question. Have not cruised with Cunard before but have always got butler to store bags for us out of our cabin on other lines so wanted to know if Cunard will do the same.

Hi all, Sailing on QE in a Q4 soon and wanted to ask experienced Cunarders, is it possible to ask the butler to store empty cases or do they need to be kept in the cabin? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all and happy cruising.

Many thanks, most helpful. Are the Q1s not Aft on QV as they all appear to be on QE? We too are not fans of aft cabins after booking an Owners cabin on another line that was similarly positioned at the rear of the ship. Don't really understand the layout for the Q1s.....dining table and bath have no view but do in Q2s from what I can tell.

Thanks so much. Realise they are both fantastic spaces but my question is differences (other than size) of a Q4 to a Q2 experience and successful upgrade bid experiences.

Hello to the Cunarders, Just received an upgrade email for our upcoming 5 day QE2 voyage. We are currently in a Penthouse (Q4) but have been offered a Q2 (or Q1) to bid on for an upgrade. We don't like the location or layout of the Q1s but wanted any advice as to whether it is worth bidding for a Q2 upgrade? Can any regulars who have stayed in both give us any tips? Has anyone successfully bid and won? Would be about 50% extra cost but we would get a 100% more space.....other than that I can't see what the benefit would be. Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much Jack. Was beginning to think no one understood what I was asking about. On another another nameless cruise line, we ordered a full welcome package with flowers, champagne etc etc and it was a disaster & VERY (US$600) expensive. The flowers were dead on arrival to our cabin and the champagne was cheap sparkling. We ended up getting a refund but it just started things off in such a disappointing way when it should have had the opposite effect. Whilst our cruise is not as long as yours, it is impressive that Cunard were happy to re-fresh the arrangement for you. Based on the photos you posted and the pricing, we will certainly look at ordering flowers now. Thanks very much. 🙂

Not disappointing just hoping to hear from people who have ordered some of the packages offered on the website to see if they are worth the $$$. https://www.cunard.com/en-au/activity-types/gifts/celebration-package Not interested in singing or cakes or anything like that.

Sorry YES.......a Q4 🙂
