Britannia Club Questions - First Cunard Cruise
exlondoner replied to Selbourne's topic in Cunard Line
I don’t know whether they actually guarantee a table for two, but you will be given one. I don’t know what gets you a window table. Neither booking early nor a high loyalty tier has ever worked for me. -
First-time Transatlantic-sunrise/sunset times

What is a rhumb line? I think they did that on our TA once. -

I believe in April 1912 the icebergs were unusually far South. -

The position you describe in the second paragraph is accurate. Don’t worry about the deck plan. I hope you both have a lovely time. -

I imagine it depends on the date. You lose an hour going east most days, gain one going west. NYC is a long way South of Southampton anyway. -
Anyone booking any of the new sailings today ?
exlondoner replied to Host Hattie's topic in Cunard Line
While we did get a Q4 on the port side, we didn’t get any of the ones I nominated. This doesn’t make much difference, but I do usually get the first choice. Does this mean there is a lot of interest? -

Well, I didn’t really want to be on QA at all, but with QE away and QV mainly doing fly cruises, we have suddenly found ourselves going to the Canaries on QA, if her start isn’t postponed again. What about you? -
There will also be a bottle of champagne - Laurent Perrier when I last sailed - and endless supplies of bottled mineral water.

The NHS criteria are very strict: a friend of mine with quite serious immunity problems was told she wasn’t eligible. On the other hand, all you need on Cunard is $900.
-
Well, mine was by the sea in Devon. Of course the £/$ exchange rate affects things.

Are drinks prices that extortionate compared to nice hotels on land? Certainly, in the summer, their very drinkable house wines were less than those in the family hotel we stayed at in Devon.
-
I am not sure about it being easier to get suitable treatment on land. Cunard would have given my husband anti-virals, while he would not have been eligible under NHS criteria.

The 69$ won’t change. What you have to pay for that may well do.

To explain, I misread evening gown as evening crown on another thread, being completely moronic. 😀

You order two choices off a list of spirits and wines. These tend to get replaced as you finish them, unless you have an unkind butler. In the fridge are cans of beer, coke, and mixers, which are replenished daily. If what you like isn’t on the list (or in the fridge) it is worth asking.
-
I didn’t get one either, though I have had similar ones before. Anyway, I’m too busy sorting out my crowns for day and evening wear.
-
It usually arrives pretty promptly at Southampton too.
-
So which agency did they represent and were they acting intra vires?
-
In 25 years, I have never had a porter, and never been stopped. Indeed it is only very recently I have even seen an HMRC person.

Just imagine having to take all luggage off, if calling at NY in the early stages of a world cruise.
-
True, of course, but if the ship hits one of those icebergs so common in the Med, one need have no fears about one’s ability to extricate oneself. 😀 Or, more realistically, in case of fire.

Having been quarantined on Cunard, I can assure you, whatever the restrictions, they don’t lock you in at all.

Dress Code and Theming for 2023 Sailings
exlondoner replied to Starstruckharper's topic in Cunard Line
For some ridiculous reason, I read evening gown as evening crown. My immediate thought was the Cunard were certainly tightening the dress code, if they expected passengers to have crowns, not even tiaras, for both evening and day wear.
