bluemarble Posted December 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Has anyone received a Christmas e-card from Cunard this year? Once again we seem to be on the wrong side of Cunard's "naughty or nice" list as we never have received a Christmas e-card from Cunard despite recently completing our fifth voyage with Cunard. We did receive this year's e-card from Princess a week ago even though we have only sailed once with Princess and that was four years ago. If Cunard has sent an e-card for 2012, would someone be willing to share the link to the Cunard e-card again this year? Thanks. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an email card, but we were sent a real one by our Cunard Personal Cruise Specialist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oahucruiser Posted December 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Got an e-mail card this morning, December 20th,. It has a snow globe with a picture of the bows of the 3 Queens, 4 short lines of "best wishes" and a small photo of Peter Shanks at the bottom.

bluemarble Posted December 20, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Wow, I guess I just wasn't patient enough! Just a few minutes ago I received an e-mail from "Cunard Line" wishing me "Very Happy Holidays" and containing this year's e-card. I guess I'm finally on Cunard's "nice" list after all! Edit: Thanks, Oahucruiser. Your description of the e-card matches what I just received as well. Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salacia Posted December 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2012 No card for me yet, but just received an e-mail from Cunard about special offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted December 20, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted December 20, 2012 No card for me yet, but just received an e-mail from Cunard about special offers. Sounds like the same e-mail from Cunard I received yesterday with the subject " 'tis the season to save up to 60%! ". I was hoping that was not going to serve as a substitute for this year's greeting card. Hopefully your e-card will arrive shortly, Salacia. I hesitate to post the link to my e-card here because it is personalized with "Dear John," in the message. Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calliope Posted December 20, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If you click on Peter Shanks' mug shot it takes you right to Cunard Line's web-site. Since no expense was spared, I deleted my e-card right away. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaxted Posted December 20, 2012 #10 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I opened mine just a few minutes ago. It may not be very personal, but it doesn't take much to get me thinking wistfully about our last voyage and about our voyages to come. Holiday greetings to you all!

Ray66 Posted December 21, 2012 #11 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I've never had a Christmas e-card from Cunard even though I'm platinum. Interesting to note that all the people who say they've received one above are from the US and Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyvegas Posted December 21, 2012 #12 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I am Platinum and a share holder and I couldn't care less. An e card is computer generated nothing personal there! I would much prefer EXCLUSIVE offers as opposed to the same offers as every TA is showing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemancruiser Posted December 21, 2012 #13 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I get Christmas e cards from Cunard and from Princess too. I also get Birthday cards from Princess but I've never sailed with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked on the globe thinking it might activate an animmation - but no...instead that also opened the Cunard web-site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balf Posted December 21, 2012 #15 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Cunard has all previous passengers on a data base? So to send everyone on that list an e card, all at the same time is just a click of a mouse. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwatr Posted December 21, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 21, 2012 A bit of a letdown. Weren't they animated in years past? This is only the second or third year I've been getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in previous years the Cunard e-card has had at least some animation to it and music or other audio as well. Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember... but now we get links to cunard.com when clicking on the "Holiday Greeting". As if we didn't know where to find the website. No charm, no creativity - only more crass commeralization. Cunard: Save the bandwith and spare my in-box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly crass as you so well noted. Ah, remember the 'good old days' when the card was delivered to our homes in person by a Cunard bellhop in Phillip Morris garb? :rolleyes: Best Wishes for the season, Salacia!

Bobby :)You got me there Bobby. No bellhop ever deliverd a card to my door, but tonight two children from up the street brought us 2 cookies and 2 chocolate covered pretzels that they made. Never had a chocolate pretzel before - it was quite nice. Joy sometimes comes when least expected. Here's to a New Year; may it have suprising moments of joy and happiness! Bobby, Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Salacia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
