Yes , seems that Cunard Choice Air prices are most beneficial for those 1 way transatlantic fares. You don't have to purchase the reserved flights until 45 prior to cruise. Same-day late arrival protection Ensure you will get to your cruise if flights are delayed or canceled on the day of travel (not available on Transatlantic Crossings).

Yes

Now I just need to get my flights to Vancouver booked. I'm confused at how to look at flight options for Cunard Air. When I go into My Cunard with my booking #, I don't see a place where I can put in departure dates and see flights. Is this something that Cunard doesn't offer? Any guidance would be appreciated. You booked with a travel agency. TA's can access Cunard Choice Air to add to your booking using their POLAR booking system.

Am I missing something here? Our TA will not book airfares for us. She will look into hotel bookings and transfers, and is a one-person operation. This may be why your TA is not offering more. A single person agency receives less comm % than the large cruise agencies. Large agencies block space @ group rates with amenities that may include OBC from the cruise line. Cunard permits TA's to discount their best rates and your TA chooses not to do that? TA's can book Cunard Choice Air for your cruise as part of the booking on their POLAR booking site.

Travel agencies do not actually place deposits on groups that they have . Just block an allotment of cabin categories for you to book into . Almost always better rates and amenities for guests than booking Direct with a cruise line.

Sounds like the right thing to do .

Oops! 2024 ! We had this Eastbound crossing booked for quite some time because it met our convenience. Now we found out that it will be the 400th crossing. Quite excited that there may be special things going on onboard?

"Normal" dining for you will be in the majestic Brittania restaurant. Either assigned early/late or open seating. Not a big selection of optional restaurants as you may have had on other ships. Kings Court Lido buffet Kings Court nightly pop-up restaurants $$ Verandah Steakhouse lunch or dinner $$$ Boardwalk lunch weather permitting

When visiting a foreign country we follow the accepted tipping traditions there. Imagine visiting the US and not tipping? A cruise is like a foreign country , we follow the tipping there also.

There are times in life that 1 dark suit and tie is handy to have. Weddings Funerals, job interviews and Cunard Formal Nights. 17 Cunard cruises for me , just a dark suit every time. Plenty of Smart Casual nights where jacket and tie are no longer required. Theme Nights , never participate.

I have cruised both many times but not Celebrity since the No Smoking restriction. I believe I would really enjoy Celebrity again over Princess for just that one reason. Perhaps use the Casino , cough. cough, once again.

Double Occupancy means just that . Children count as occupants . Life boat capacities are a main restriction to number of guests in each cabin.

Don't dismiss EWR . It is a lot closer than you may think . Especially if the flight choices and fares give EWR an advantage. Check all 3 airports.

Most cruise lines do not allow Online TA's to advertise their best rates. You must contact them for that. That is why you may see the same rates if just surfing.

Example: Marriott Brooklyn Bridge NY Aug 22 , 2024 1 night pre TA stay $407 Senior Rate total 2 guests 1 night pre TA stay $700 Cunard Rate total 2 guests

US Hotels charge per room , Cunard per person, making your hotel stay well overpriced.

No , but they may be purchased from Cunard.

Been on over 90 cruises , never get motion sickness but put me on a small fishing boat on the ocean and I get sick or feel very uncomfortable every time . Suggest never retreating to your cabin if starting to feel it . That is the kiss of death. Walk around a lot , outside as much as you can , and eat, eat , eat.

Yes , you can book Business Class Yes , you can choose most airlines You may rerserve flight without payment. You pay for flight with cruise Final Payment Biggest advantage is ability pf realistic 1 way fares. We fly to LHR , take National Coach to Southampton and stay at room2Hometel.

A Good Cruise Specialist TA has cruise line contacts that you don't have. A Top Producer Agency for that cruise line has even more clout. Add to that , Cunard permits US TA's to discount even their best rates. Check your Direct Deal then the TA's. Remember that Cunard does not permit US TA's to advertise their lower rates. You must contact them for their rates. As a former Cruise Specialist TA for 17+ years , I know what I know.

Been sailing aboard the QM2 for many years since 2004. The number of Tables for 2 in Brittania have multiplied . Very popular , but should not be a problem walk up, but reserve if you wish. Be prepared for 6" between tables.
