I found a duo called "Cula - Irish Duo - Tommy and Brian" on FB, who have been on Cunard.

The other ones I've heard of are "The Newfoundland Duo".

Cupla fir, is two younger guys, one plays guitar and one plays whistle. The disembarked in New York on may 5th this year.

They told the name of the band but I can’t remember what it was, only that it was something like “boscombe”, “bostow”or something similar.

Hey, 

We went on a crossing with QM2 recently and onboard there was a folk duo “Cupla Fir”, does anyone know their real band name, we would like to find them on Youtube or elsewhere?

best regards

With the price of cruises, decent cruise insurance should be an insignificant cost unless you have a number of per-existing conditions. I have full annual coverage with Staysure for cruises, winter sports PLUS a pre-existing condition (atr fib) for £125 at age 63. (And they pay out as was in Mount Sinai ER day after a QM2 crossing) 

 

I assume though that you've seen this page which says only mandatory if residing and booking in UK. https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/the-cunard-experience/sailing-with-confidence/insurance

 

But then it goes on to say how important it is, and that'd you be denied boarding without full and proper insurance.

 

I see your confusion but I think it'd be nuts to hold back on getting full and proper cover

 

Thank you all for you answers, although it went a bit off topic.

Yes, indeed. It was that part with the UK only that confused a bit just regarding the sum.

We are a young couple that travels a lot (especially to the states, counting state number 25 this voyage😁) and have travel insurance+ with our insurer, we now know that it also covers cruises/ship crossings. All necessary expenses are paid by them, which can be alot in the states, knowing from close by experience.

Hello all!
 

We are booked on a transatlantic crossing from Southampton to NYC with QM2 for the very first time in a few weeks.

We understand there is an insurance requirement (as you always should have when traveling). We are from Sweden and have booked via Cunard's website and are a bit unsure if the requirement of the £2 million minimum that should cover emergency evacuations, etc are only required for UK residents which I think I read somewhere.

Of course an evacuation mid-ocean is costly to put it mildly, but it is almost impossible to get min/max limit of cover from our swedish insurance company. All they state is that they cover any necessary and reasonable medical expenses, hospitalization and repatriation in case of illness or injury.

The only problem we have is to have a statement with that particular sum of 2 million and now I ask you here if anyone has had the same experience or know more of how to deal with this. I now there is some tailor made insurances that Cunard recommends but it is also an extra cost.

Best regards and calm seas
