Cunard Waitlist

[addo]

We are sailing on QM2 from Dubai later this month. Our son tried to book Petra and was placed on a waitlist. I received an email today stating he has a place.

 

Followed the link to the cruise personalised but it has not been allocated. Has anyone else had the same problem.

 

Will have to endure a long wait when I ring tomorrow.

One of my regrets was not going on the tour to Petra,I thought the walk and heat would have been too much fora personover 70.

One needs to book shorex on line, well in advance to secure a slot. I book shorex as soon as they come out.

If you cannot make progress I can make an alternative recommendation.

 

When last in Aqaba I used a local company to go for a day in Wadi Rum. (We had done Petra the year before)

 

The same company run tours to Petra.

 

Here's the link to my review: scroll down to find the company name...

Good luck.

Thank you for this suggestion.

 

I contacted Cunard first thing, although it states in the email and in the shore excursions you have 72 hours to confirm a waitlist offer, it is actually on a first come first served basis.

The reason I could not confirm last night was all on the waitlist had been notified they had a place, but there were insufficient places for all.

 

Having requested to speak to a manager, the young lady came back to say there was a place for our son. I did suggest the email should be more explicit and maybe show a counter of the places left.

 

He has been to Petra 20 years ago, when he was 6 years old so should get more out of this trip this time.
