Rare babs135 Posted November 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2016 What exactly defines a segment? We are giving serious consideration to doing the Queen Elizabeth cruise in January 2018 as far as San Francisco (would like to go further but would need to win the lottery :D). There are two stops before SF so would we have done 3 segments of a world cruise? Are there any perks per segment, ie internet usage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted November 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Cunard can't book a passenger from New York to Fort Lauderdale due to US law, so I doubt that's a "segment." NY to San Francisco or Fort Lauderdale to San Francisco are both legal itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted November 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Cunard website is showing: Q802 - Southampton to New York, 10 nights Q802A - New York to Fort Lauderdale, 13 nights Q802B - Southampton to San Francisco, 29 Nights Q804 - Fort Lauderdale to San Francisco, 16 nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted November 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) 802A shows as Soton to Fort Lauderdale. US law prohibits Cunard from selling an itinerary from New York to FLL (any two US ports, actually) that doesn't visit a distant foreign port (e.g., Arbua/Bonaire/Curacao) in between. To clarify: the ship can call on Fort Lauderdale immediately following New York but a passenger may not book passage embarking in New York and disembarking in Fort Lauderdale three days later.

Underwatr Posted November 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Just to complicate matters, Q803A runs from New York to San Francisco (via Aruba). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted November 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Just to complicate matters, Q803A runs from New York to San Francisco (via Aruba). Surely this clarifies matters; "distant port" (Aruba) is included at an intermediate point. What might be more of a complication is in having overlapping itineraries where different passengers embark at a series of consecutive US ports but are restricted on final disembarkation according to where the originally embarked.

Rare Scrapnana Posted December 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If you are gold (or above) you will get your free internet minutes on leaving Southampton and then you will get them again for the New York to San Francisco segment. There will also likely be a cocktail party on each segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janix Posted December 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) If you are gold (or above) you will get your free internet minutes on leaving Southampton and then you will get them again for the New York to San Francisco segment. There will also likely be a cocktail party on each segment. Hi Kathi, Although Internet is awarded per sector, there was a rumour that unused minutes may soon not be able to be carried over from sector to sector. Also the Captain's Cocktail parties last year were once per cruise and not per sector. We received a letter on boarding detailing our CWC benefits. CWC parties were also once per cruise (World Cruise parties were still roughly per sector for those doing the whole trip, but I seem to recall there were not as many as 2015). Things have changed, but I didn't mention cutbacks ? ;) John Edited December 1, 2016 by Janix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
