  1. Cunard Queen Victoria still does them but I have not had a P &0 one since restart.
  2. My family would pack 1 per night plus a spare so 8 15 and 22 . We don’t do laundry on holiday. Plus t shirts polos etc.. for day time. Have enough of it at home all year. We only ever cruise out of Southampton and park nearby so luggage no issue.
  3. Just looked them up. If I was free 21 nights for under 1300 yes please.
  4. I should imagine it’s just those 3 . Cunard did something similar last year and it was just selected med cruises without the flight.
  5. I can’t see them allowing non standard configurations. As you suggest there wouldn’t be enough room anyway with all the fixed furniture and the table lamps are sometimes fixed. I have stayed in a variety of cabins across all 3 Queens and can’t envisage putting the beds in an L. Interesting about the deluxe inside. I am eyeing up a late saver filler cruise and they are advertising inside deluxe. Tempted to see what they are like.
  6. I was recommended to book for a TA and have done so.
  7. Sorry to be dense. Do you mean only have one single bed in the room. I don’t think that is offered. I have never been offered that and always have the bed separated. I use the spare bed to put my bag on etc..
  8. You are correct . They are not P &O or Cunard employees. I think they work for Intercruises but definitely not Carnival U K. It’s no point and totally unfair to moan and grumble at them if their policies or way of organising things don’t suit you. They are doing their job as instructed and deserve to be respected. As you say most of the problems arise for whatever reason from people arriving at the wrong arrival time.
  9. It’s my understanding that if one or two of the Pullman berths are being used there is no option on the bed configuration. It has to be two singles.
  10. Oh that’s interesting about the Halifax I have accounts there too and Clarity card. I never use either debit or credit card for cash withdrawals I just use it for spending in shops , excursions etc.. Thanks for extra info. I know Halifax travel insurance doesn’t give you the option to upgrade and add cruise cover.
  11. I opened an account just for cruising with them for the insurance and the £40 upgrade cover. Their credit and debit cards do not attract foreign transaction charges either. Sail with Cunard so this is an extra win as all onboard is in dollars.
  12. I paid about £5 return last month. Very efficient ran every 10 15 mins no queues.
  13. I had one on deck 8 . Fabulous views both ways in the fjords but was windy. Weather was particular bad last July in Fjords.
  14. I agree. I join the M27 at Cadnam from New Forest and the worse delays are often between the Salisbury and Southampton Junction. Frequently it can be just bumper to bumper all the way from not long after I join.
  15. Absolutely. Part of the pleasure for me is knowing exactly what to expect. Only possible tantrum from me would be if they changed the Golden Lion menu and took off my favourites . Embarkation day ritual for me. A curry in the Golden Lion by 1 30 and then a dessert from Kings Court or Carintha lounge depending on if I am on Q V or QM. Then a trip to the Britannia Restaurant to check out my table.
  16. No courses for me.Cunard is at the top of my price range. No desire to cruise less often by spending more on upscaling. I’ve known some people spend more per night than I do on my whole cruise !! 100% their choice but not mine. Can’t see the point . Cunard ticks all my boxes so that’s a no from me. 😀🚢
  17. I have always sailed out of Ocean Terminal 2021 2022 and 2023 on Britannia.
  18. Yes it’s quite straight forward to do. Just as the other poster said you can easily go to reception and change it as soon as you get onboard. Saves time at check in
  19. We attended Newport for renewal / change of name on Saturday morning and passport was back by Wednesday. So worth the extra money and drive. Super cheap fry up in the Asda opposite.
  20. Same here with Cunard. Managed to do it on lap top in the end.
  21. Hi I think you will find your world club benefits have changed now. You don’t get free internet minutes just a sum to put towards the 24 hour or voyage packages. Similarly I have not had OBC as part of World Club just when it was offered with fare.
  22. The only tours I can see are only bookable for those doing the 15 round trip transatlantic. Nobody else is allowed to join according to My Cunard.
  23. I am on a 15 day transatlantic and have booked a Cunard 4 hour excursion to see the sites.
