Do i need to call the number to arrange a tranfser or am i just worrying unecessarily -surely Cunard will have passed on the details etc

This is my 12th cruise but only ever done 1 fly cruise & that was a charter flight so sorry for not being aufait with what you do!

If the flight was booked direct with Cunard or with a TA as part of a flight-inclusive cruise, then no need to worry - Cunard will know. But some people like to book their flights independently (though probably not in this case from LHR) and if so, naturally Cunard need to be given the details.

As it happens I'll be on a similar flight a few weeks later.

It says the number is in case you need any assistance.

You will be met, you will need to collect your own luggage, take it to a central collection point and then get on a transfer coach.

We are also on this voyage, flying out from LHR on 6th October. I think our flight is a charter flight, can't find it on BA's website. Are you flying BA? Our flight is 7.35 am so an early start for us, but we are staying at Heathrow the night before.

The only time I had a major screw up with Cunard was one where they were meeting my flight at LHR from EDI. The guy who met us had us wait for hours because of some problem with the bus. We finally got on the bus and raced to Southampton. The first stop was the Ocean terminal where Queen Victoria was leaving, and one of my bags was off loaded and went aboard QV, I was sailing on Queen Mary from the QE terminal. All of my toiletries and half of my clothes made a trip to Gibralter. I got the bag back eventually. I have never allowed Cunard to handle this arrangement since.

Hi yeagh ours is BA546 at 1045am. We were originally on an earlier charter flight but wanted to upgrade (my dad has a dodgy knee!) so when we upgraded they moved us to 1045.

 

Arrives 215pm so thinking by the time we get the bags etc then face the famous Rome traffic; get checked in and then wait for our luggage and change for dinner I may be struggling for my regular appointment at 645pm with a martini in the commodore club :D

First night on a fly cruise is Jacket optional, we had an early flight last time we flew to Rome but luggage was the latest it has ever been.

Hopefully you'll make your Martini even if your Jacket doesn't !
