Minnie29 Posted October 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to find out what lecturers/entertainers will be onboard my cruise in December? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted October 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Cunard used to publish a list, but I think they stopped doing it. The list was not always very reliable which is possibly why they stopped publishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted October 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Apparently not. There is another thread about this somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list was not always very reliable which is possibly why they stopped publishing it. That was my experience. Before our second crossing (didn’t know enough to do this on the first), I looked up who would be speaking. Of the three speakers listed, none were actually on board. Now, I just wait until the daily program comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemancruiser Posted October 15, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Cunard's website has information, however it's not clear about who will be the speakers on each voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted October 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2022 As someone (you?) said elsewhere, it couldn’t be less helpful if it tried. While it is true that I wouldn’t dream of booking a cruise because of the possible speakers, the pleasures of anticipation would undoubtedly be much enhanced for me and, I suspect, HH by the knowledge that, say, David Gower was to speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the 'Cunard website is a total embarrassment' thread - and you will see the web site has bios for a few speakers, but does not have any linkage between the speaker and voyages. For example, I clicked on the related voyages link for Anthony Inglis - and it took me to the regular find a cruise listing showing all cruises for all ships. [Oddly - likely due to a sell out - the list did not contain the next sailing he will be on (M234) departing Brooklyn on 25 October] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense really. We have had speakers designated to voyages even before pandemic who were never actually on the cruises so cancellations do happen.

Gower is on a short Ambassador cruise in December along with Devon Malcolm, Graham Gooch, Mike Gatting, John Lever & Ray East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gracious. That’s half a team, though I’m surprised Gower can bring himself to speak to Gooch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queenvee Posted October 17, 2022 #13 Share Posted October 17, 2022 FYI...If you're on the December 3-10, 2022 TA which is the Literary Festival crossing, the list of speakers is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClefsDor Posted October 17, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Anyone have any idea who the speakers might be for the Queen Elizabeth sailing from Perth to Sydney on 7 Nov? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummel Posted October 18, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I certainly would favor a QM2 crossing with Dame Mary Beard speaking. The lady is extraordinary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
