heelfan94 Posted November 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thank you for this info. We have never cruised Cunard and this might be a good time to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmerlin14 Posted November 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Will they put the shore excursions on sale, do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted November 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2018 No doubt this Black Friday deal will as usual not be available for cruisers in the UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safarigal Posted November 15, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2018 From my understanding past guests even in Britannia also get free gratuities, not just Grills guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckl001 Posted November 15, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2018 We have a similar sale in Australia. Balcony for the price of inside. I checked for my cruise next year (Christmas/New Year) and just saved over $4700 aus. Thanks for letting us know of sales. I am one happy girl.

majortom10 Posted November 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Had it confirmed today by Cunard that they are not doing any specific Black Friday cruise offers in the UK so once again Cunard are it seems giving deals to other countries but not cruisers in the UK. Not impressed so have changed mind about booking a Princess Grill suite for Summer 2019 and looking at other all inclusive 6 star cruise lines which when you add gratuities/drinks onto cruise price are very competitive.

Underwatr Posted November 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Black Friday is such an American thing that I'd think Brits would object. Maybe there should be a Guy Fawkes day sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jack E Dawson Posted November 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I wouldn't be too envious my UK friends. These prices don't seem to be that great. In September my wife and I did the Fashion Week trans-Atlantic crossing in a sheltered balcony for U$849pp plus a $100pp OBC. The lowest price crossing I'm seeing on the Black Friday sale is U$1149 interior cabin with free gratuities and a double upgrade to mid-ship sheltered balcony. However, we will continue to watch in case better deals pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be interesting to see if the Black Friday Sale shows up tomorrow (20th) or closer to Friday. I received an email about the sale coming soon from Cunard, but have yet to see it on the Cruise Deals either. Like some others on this thread, I am curious about the list as well... does the Black Friday Sale just apply to the ones on the list or will there also be discounts to other cruises?

Underwatr Posted November 19, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 19, 2018 There's a promo code in the fine print (the one for the sale expiring today is N1A) which you can enter into a field on the first booking screen (I think it's below where you enter your World Club number). I don't know if it will work on a cruise not listed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainpen Posted November 21, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) My travel agent told me the price is higher today for what we have in mind and already booked using the previous 3-in-1 promotions Edited November 21, 2018 by fountainpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be mindful of the advice from the Consumers' Association in the UK that very few Black Friday offers are actually cheaper than offer prices available before or after. That would seem to apply to cruises as much as vacuum cleaners judging by Jack E Dawson's comments above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to worry about because Cunard UK arent doing anything in UK where in the US Black Friday is a bigger thing and if you book a suite you get free drinks/gratuities which I am sure compared to booking prices in UK is a very good deal.

Underwatr Posted November 21, 2018 #25 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Given the lack of free gratuities in Britannia, this offer isn't as good as the Free for All promo that ended just before it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
