Summergee Posted June 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Has anyone else noticed that the uk website seems to have been hijacked? I reported this to Cunard and was told that I am using the wrong wesite and should be using cunard.com, not cunard.co.uk. I am not sure if the helpdesk lady understood what I was saying or not, but using .com does seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer Posted June 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Cunard.co.uk is working fine for me. I was able to go into the personaliser and check my current booking with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted June 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Both sites are working fine for me, althougth they do now look completely different to each other. When I click on Search Voyages on the Cunard.com website it sends me over to the Cunard.co.uk website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted June 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm not sure if this helps any since I am in the US, but here is what I am seeing with regard to cunard.co.uk: If I type the URL http://www.cunard.co.uk, that attempts to redirect to the page http://www.cunard.com/en-gb and that fails with "The page cannot be found." If I type http://cunard.co.uk (without the "www"), that works fine for me. This may be irrelevant to users in the UK, but I just thought it might help to mention this different behavior I am seeing from the US with regard to including or excluding the "www" in the URL.

milkcow Posted June 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We have the QM2 and QV webcam internet sites directly on our browsers: helps to get the day started in the USA. But this morning a generic Cunard parital home page appeared. I was able to look at the nose of the QM2 by going to wearecunard.com and clicking onto the "see where they are" at the top. Then it went through the home page also. Something seems to have changed. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerrylandCruiser Posted June 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2010 When I first accessed the US website this morning, the UK home page appeared. It now seems to be back to the ususal home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salacia Posted June 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Looks like they're working on a new homepage for cunard.com. A newly designed homepage showed after receiving initial prompt to specify country version, but then after I searched 'voyage finder' and returned to the homepage, the old version appeared. It will be interesting to see what it looks like once the glitches get resolved. -S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted June 1, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2010 This is a follow-up on my earlier observation that the URL http://www.cunard.co.uk was not working from the US because it redirected to a non-existent page http://www.cunard.com/en-gb. I just tried again, and now http://www.cunard.co.uk is being redirected to http://www.cunard.com/en-us/ for me in the US which works fine. So that minor issue has been resolved. However, I do notice now that there appears to be an issue with viewing "Enrichment Programmes" and "Shore Excursions" after clicking "View Itinerary" for a specific voyage. Both of those tabs generate the error message "The page cannot be found" when I try to use them, with a reference to the web site "cunard.emperorinteractive.com". Presumably these are teething pains related to the new web site design which will be resolved in due course. I just wanted to mention this in case anyone else was having the same problem attempting to view "Enrichment Programmes" and "Shore Excursions". If so, it's not just you.

BigMac1953 Posted June 1, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Isn't this the Shanks promised website upgrade? The UK site went wonky this morning but is all working fine now. However, nothing much has changed. Only a better front page. Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted June 2, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've just tried Cunard UK's website again. I have it on my favourites and co.uk has now been changed to http://www.cunard.com/en-gb/ and it is the new updated website which looks very different on all pages apart from the Search Voyages page (previously named Voyage Planner). I actually had the Calendar page (with a list of all voyages on it) bookmarked but can't find that now. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capnpugwash Posted June 2, 2010 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2010 For the past couple of days www.cunard.co.uk is redirected to www.cunard.com/en-gb . Seems they are dumping the UK site or maybe re-vamping it. Spooky though innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
