penlady Posted March 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2022 For those of you who are on this cruise and need to pay your balance by tomorrow. Here is a bit of advice before calling in the payment today I scrolled thru the specials as I always do and notice there was a promo on this cruise, I asked the rep to adjust my fare to reflect the current offer which he did, and I saved $320.00 off my fare. Also, when I was previously booked for the Caribbean cruise in Nov. which Cunard had cancelled I was told I could either have my deposit returned to me or if I chose to transfer it to a future cruise they would add something on to my balance which they did so between that and the money taken off today I made out very nicely so if you are waiting until tomorrow to pay do your homework.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted March 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I started a reply on this topic yesterday. I'll go ahead and finish it now since this does depend on where the booking was made. This applies to a US booking (with a 120-day final payment date). Our friends in the UK and in Australia/New Zealand have 30 more days to make their final payments and they have different promotions from those offered here in the US. It also probably involves a booking originally made with a refundable deposit. Taking advantage of a new promotion usually involves canceling the existing booking and creating a new booking. That implies the loss of a non-refundable deposit. Some promotions in the US now have non-refundable deposits. To my knowledge, all UK bookings have non-refundable deposits. As I understand it, the deposit on a full Cunard Fare booking in Australia/New Zealand is refundable as long as it's 180 days or more before departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LewiLewi Posted March 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2022 What cruise is sailing to Canada from NY in July? I don’t see any listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteach Posted March 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2022 @LewiLewi look for the Independence cruise. It sails NY to Halifax to Boston to NY. I’m not on it this year, but I sure wanted to be! I get to do it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penlady Posted March 5, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Years ago, I was on the fence about doing this particular cruise as it was only five days and I am used to doing the longer cruises, so I never did it but then when they changed it to seven days I went, and it was one of the best cruises I have been on and will be on it again July 1st.

What's so good about it - is it the ports - that part of the country intrigues me - but I'd probably prefer to do it for the fall colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, mid-September through October is generally best for that itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBella Posted March 8, 2022 #12 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) I am booked on this cruise because: the ship is splendid, the departure requires no airline travel (for me), the itinerary is mainly domestic so no fear of quarantine or potential covid medical issues in a foreign country, and finally, the price is great! No, this is not a foliage cruise because it is the height of the summer---this cruise allows for fantastic fireworks viewing instead! I also think this cruise will be somewhat relaxing, as we have two and a half sea days, and the port excursions are not too strenuous. I just mainly want to dress up, savor fine dining, and enjoy some quality Cunard experiences (British ambience, tea, fencing, planetarium, etc.).

navybankerteacher Posted March 8, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2022 What a great way to get a taste of Cunard - at a very reasonable price. We would be jumping on it had we not been invited for a week in a beach house on the south shore of Long Island (from which we will be able to see her shortly after she departs New York).

MCC retired Posted March 8, 2022 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2022 This is a very popular Independence Day 7 nighter to experience Cunard and the QM2 for Eat Coast cruisers. R/T NYC . We have chosen this yearly cruise many times from back when the QE2 did it. Boston on July 4th is always neat but don't get too excited about the Fireworks . They are far off , seen only from an upper deck and too far distant for sound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
