2020 Cunard Christmas ecard?

[bluemarble]

Has anyone received a Christmas ecard from Cunard this year? If they are cutting back this year it would be understandable. I am still receiving other fairly regular marketing email from them.

 

One email I received about a week ago has the subject "A sparkling reason to celebrate." which appears to be targeted to New Year's celebrations. That email discusses "Popping the cork on a world of favorites.", "Become a certified wine taster.", "Cocktail trends and a recipe to try at home." and "Your perfect serve."

Got the same email as you mentioned above. Other than that, nothing from Cunard. Have gotten greetings from just about every other cruise line under the sun, but not Cunard.

Is there a Diamond Yearbook this year?

 

We've received neither any Cunarders nor Christmas greetings.

I received this Christmas Card through the post last week. I also received the email version yesterday afternoon. Not seen the 2020/21Diamond Year Book though, if one exists.

No e-card, but we got the same 'real' card. 

 

Strangely I can see minor variations in the signature. Surely they're not really signed?

I've had the e-card

Received Cunard Christmas Card by post and email about a week later, plus a personal card by post from our PCS.

Just tested the signature on our card by wetting it. It’s a printed signature . Simon could get RSI signing all the cards personally! 🙂

Had the card through the post early last week and the ECard on Friday.

Some years get nothing some both some either or.

As with many things Cunard - no rhyme nor reason but thats part of their endearing charm IMHO

I have had both the card through the post and an ecard. 

[Mudhen]

Maybe it's a British thing? Have any Yankees gotten anything? (of course this is of no real importance...people in dire straits with covid, our country in the throes of massive political issues and here I'm talking about a commercial Xmas card. Feeling guilty!)

@North West Newbie did an excellent job of scanning the physical card.

 

Would someone who has received the ecard be willing to post the URL for it which shows up under "Click here" to view online (assuming there is such a link in the ecard and assuming that link doesn't reveal any personal information)?

Unfortunately, the URL does include personal information but I have extracted the .gif file of the ecard itself which is anonymised. Hopefully this will suffice.

I also got a card in the post from Cunard last week. Simon Palethorpe's signature is exactly the same as the one on North West Newby's card. I haven't received an e-card though this year.

Thank you so much! That does indeed suffice. Good to have a copy of the original graphic showing its animation. I have an archive of the Cunard Christmas card graphics going back to 2007. This helps me keep the string going in case we don't get a Cunard ecard this year.

Will you be sharing them with us at some point ?

No cards here, e- or paper...

Oh sure, can do. I'll start a new thread so they don't get lost in this ongoing discussion here.

[Mudhen]

Just received the e-card. Nicely done, thank you Cunard.

[Chart Room Princess]

I just received the e-card. I am in the US.

[bluemarble]

Our Cunard Christmas ecard just arrived a couple minutes ago as well.

I got the ecard - I don't think I have ever gotten a "real" card from Cunard.

[Essiesmom]

Got the ecard today.  EM
