Discount

Learned something new yesterday while booking for next year, I was looking online as we do and pricing up cruises on the Cunard website, but when I rang my travel agent she comes back with a cheaper price?!

It seems if you put your loyalty number in when doing a booking online it show any discount if applicable...I never knew. :)

That doesn't always work on our side of the pond. We usually need to enter the discount code. However, in late 2015 and I believe early 2016 there was an apparently unadvertised special for "previous guests." So just entering the membership number gave a huge discount.

 

For our voyage, instead of asking our travel agent to get us the lower fare we upgraded to Britannia Club for a modest fare difference. We have a friend who had booked a crossing in Princess Grill and he was able to save about Can. $3000.

If you use a specialist cruise TA they are usually cheaper than booking direct with Cunard anyway they give you a small discount out of their commission.

 

 

 

Yes I alway do my own leg work and then use a TA for an extra 7% discount :)

That's a hefty discount to come out of the TA's commission especially as it's billed an 'extra'.

 

 

 

She must be happy with what's left and she does the same on P&O :) I'm not complaining, but I do send her a lot of new customers mainly from our disabled FB group..
