    A question to you about Priority Embarkation from Red Hook on the QM2.

     

    Must I go through the security line for hours before being considered PRIORITY or is there a shorter method?  Starting to have standing issues.

     

    Will be our 13th (two short of Dimond status) on the 9/29 to Quebec round trip from NYC.

     

    Chatted with you on the 6/30/2023 QM 2 Boston Meet And Greet.

    Hope to see again soon.

  2. Go for it.

    Did the same a few years ago and could not find a satisfactory airline price.

    Told our TA and he came back with a crew rate as long as we caught the next flight back to the states.

    Hired a car and went directly to the airport.

     

    A good TA will work with you.

    Cunard also offers flight arrangements.

    reach out to them as well.

     

    Wishing you a great voyage.

    Looking forward to doing same soon.

  3. We are in a similar situation.

    Booked a guaranteed balcony.

    They must still be juggling cabins.

    The ability to sell up with the bidding, slows down the process and that has to work it's way out first.

    This happened to us back in August as well and we were given an "upgrade" of a larger balcony.

    Hopefully it will be noticeable next time.

    2 hrs ago I was wrapping my head around how to do an online test. Now thanks to @tomatand several cruise critic posts that's 1 huge thing I don't have to be concerned about 😁   

    the change is for those sailing from Europe.

    Note the date at the top of the page, we (north america) have NOT changed

  5. Anyone have an experience with Princess at NY Red Hook with this app?

     

    Does this app actually speed up the processing?

     

    Do I still have to lineup with everyone?

     

    Appreciate any experiences.

     

    Will be using this on August 15th.

     

    Thanks.....

    thanks for the live updates.

     

    Three questions for you.

    Are masks being worn everywhere?

    MDR tables, do you know if sharing is allowed?

    Any guess on occupancy rate?

     

    We will be joining you on the NY to Halifax portion.

     

    Wishing you a great voyage.

    Thanks

    Hello, does anyone know how I can contact Cunard to speak with a passenger on board QE2?  

    If you experience difficulties contacting the ship, in case of emergencies, you may call our Customer Contact Center on 800-728-6273.

  9. Not that difficult......

     

    Your broker would normally provide a paper or pdf file monthly of your account.

     

    You need to make a copy of the statement (physical or digital) and blank out the account number and any other info not required and paste that into your email with the cruise confirmation number.

     

    Based on your computer skills, you may want to just print out the page, mark out the sensitive data, take a digital photo of the redacted page and attach or paste it into you email.

     

    That is it.

  10. Several years back, we did a oneway crossing and fly back.

     

    At first when searching airlines the oneway ticket was more than the cabin and we were about to give up, but decided to check with a travel agent who came up with a great deal.

     

    It seems there is an agent rate for individuals immediately flying back.

    The constraint was minimal time in country.  Infact we disembarked the the QM2 hoped into a car that took us directly to the airport and boarded a return flight.

     

    It all worked out well and we would consider it again if we ever do a  one way.

     

    Best of luck.

    If you downloaded the medallionclass act; this app has access to all the other apps.  Ocean now allows you to order food and drink.  Ocean Compass allows you to track your shipmates and explore whats happening around the ship. When you order a drink using the ocean now app; the bartender or waitstaff has their ipad;  your pictures pops up and they find you from your picture.  Yes you will still have printed patter in your cabin. The ships digital boards which are located by all the elevators will also let you know what's happening around the ship. You will hold your medallion on a sensor;; much the same as with cruise card.  

    Only shortcoming is shipboard account is not available.  While onboard, must go to shipname.princess.com   (where ship name is the ship you are on) to see daily itemized bill.  Also, same site has a better Princess Patter then the medallion app.  Hopefully intime, improvements will come.  Overall, a big improvement.

    Do you know if there are USB ports on the bedside lamps on the Royal Princess?   It’s either that or I will need to buy a non-surge protector  power strip and hope it does not get confiscated.  Thanks!

    You can usually find at least one behind the tv.
