First time Cunard ... and maybe last time ?!
North West Newbie replied to ajpeter's topic in Cunard Line
Training used to be undertaken at the White Star Academy; not sure if it still exists but hereβs a link to what prospective recruits can expect https://www.cunardcareers.co.uk/life-at-cunard/ (HH, I hope that link doesn't breach any forum rules) -
First time Cunard ... and maybe last time ?!
North West Newbie replied to ajpeter's topic in Cunard Line
By having a structured support system whereby there is some built in spare capacity between butlers and, moreover, perhaps the Q1βs should have dedicated butlers who are not assigned to other suites but can offer assistance when they are not required by their own guests. -

Agreed, but their "better service" should not be at the expense of those in the lower grade Q's. -
I believe Wagyu steak it at least one exception where if you want it you must dine in The Verandah and indeed pay for it.

I donβt believe there is a βcorrectβ amount; it is a matter of personal choice and how one values the βserviceβ one is rewarding. As for the recipient, I feel sure they are grateful for whatever amount they receive.

That is not fact but pure conjecture. The MD is best placed to know how his/her restaurant seating plan is arranged and there may well be spare tables scattered around to accommodate such requests. There is no evidence to corroborate your allegation that another guest will be denied their assigned table just because an incentive may be involved.

Excuse me, us Diamond folk have priority over the Platinum people. π

Don't forget the detachable collars. π

Surely the βtripβ commences the moment you leave your house.

Just because a guest speaker dines in QG does not make them a Celebrity; it could simply be down to the deal they or their agent has negotiated with Cunard.

From the starboard forward glass elevator?

More than one device can simultaneously share the same connection using tethering. -

In my experience all onboard purchases must be charged to an onboard account. However, before the onboard account will accept any charges it must be activated either by registering a debit or credit card (typically at check-in) or by depositing cash at the Pursers Desk. If the cash option is adopted any purchases cannot exceed the amount of cash deposited taking into account any previous purchases. Think of it as a PAYG mobile phone. If the account needs more funds you simply top it up as you go. Alternatively, you could deposit a larger amount at the beginning and at the end of the cruise any remaining cash credit can be reimbursed.

Men's formalwear/smart attire: How many outfits?
North West Newbie replied to Starstruckharper's topic in Cunard Line
Well, you've not seen me onboard then. π -
QM2 - I searched -- need answers to a few questions from regulars
North West Newbie replied to bitob's topic in Cunard Line
Yes, but that one connection can be tethered to allow additional devices to connect simultaneously. -
First time on Cunard, question on cruise documents
North West Newbie replied to monsoon20009's topic in Cunard Line
Well at least he won't miss the ship; if anything he'll be somewhat early and have a bit of hanging around to do. π€£ -

North West Newbie replied to monsoon20009's topic in Cunard Line
Looking at the OP's signature, it looks like he meant June 23rd. -
@bluemarble, just to add, Iβve tried here in the UK and /en-us and /en-au both default to /en-gb. However, I am able to visit /de-de.

Cancellation policy close to sailing QM2
North West Newbie replied to klgt1891's topic in Cunard Line
For the avoidance of any further doubt, see clause 15 https://www.cunard.com/content/dam/cunard/marketing-assets/pdf/booking-condition-pdf/Cunard Booking Conditions October 20.pdf -
Looking back at some booking confirmations, Cunard seem to have dropped the βCUβ showing the CWC Number as AA99999A, so 8 characters which is consistent with this from the UK Future Cruise Credit from Cunard - Our guide. E-Tickets on the other hand still show the βCUβ Go figure! Mine and Mrs NWN both have an βUβ as the final letter whereas our son who was a junior on the same first voyage has an βXβ. I should add, that as lead passenger I was assigned a CWC number with the first digit being a β7β and Mrs NWN and our son were given consecutive numbers beginning with β3β. Both Mrs NWN and our son also share the same two letters after βCUβ whereas my fourth letter is different.
-
Ours are "CU" followed by two letters, then five digits then a single letter. So ten characters in total.

Ok. I'm going to take a stab at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and the church is Our Lady of Guadalupe? December 12th is when they celebrate the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
