sandydownunder Posted June 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Fulfilling my dream. Going on the circumnavigation of Japan next May. Researching one of the ports (Kanazawa) I found out the QE2 berths in an industrial area. Other lines offer a shuttle to the down town area either free or for a small payment. Does Cunard generally do this in out-of-the-way ports? I'd appreciate a general account or even better if you have been to Kanazawa a more detailed account of what to expect. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleFish1976 Posted June 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi Sandydownunder. I'm also going on the circumnavigation of Japan in May, 2020. I can't answer your question specifically for Japan (although someone here will no doubt have that information) but I can tell you that in my experience on the Queen Elizabeth in New Zealand in March, Cunard did provide free shuttles into city centres. Hope that helps a little to ease your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandydownunder Posted June 20, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi LittleFish. That's good news. I like the "free" part. Are you on the Roll Call? I must come over and sign up. My friend Fiona & I are also staying on to Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleFish1976 Posted June 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi again Sandydownunder, I can't see that there IS a roll call for this cruise. The one I'm on departs 6th May for 9 nights. Have you found one for this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandydownunder Posted June 20, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted June 20, 2019 No I haven't. Just the one leaving May 15th -19 nights. Perhaps we should start one. I'll give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve ch Posted June 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2019 "Free" shuttles is a bit of a misnomer. You have to pay the higher Cunard fare to get them. Otherwise, there's a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have guessed that US customers would get a better deal than those booking in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Saver fares are not offered in the US. It appears that the UK Cunard Fare is equivalent to the US fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longton Posted June 22, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We took a few shuttles on our recent Hong Kong to Cape Town cruise on Q.V. On boarding the shuttle we were not required to show our ship pass, and it didn't seem like anyone was charged for using the shuttle service.
