BigMac1953 Posted March 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Yes! Booked QM2 for two weeks around the Med in April 2025. Managed to get a Q4. By ten past one, there was only one left. Now I'm thinking of starting a go fund me page. Edited March 15, 2023 by BigMac1953 it took my word out 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted March 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'm keeping an eye on H505, the segment of Queen Anne's maiden world voyage from New York to San Francisco in January 2025. I'd prefer to wait and book this on board in a couple months but if I see availability getting tight I may book it sooner. I'm only looking for a Britannia Balcony so I don't anticipate there will be a problem waiting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullaRaffaello Posted March 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Booked the Queen Anne WB crossing in Jan. '25. Got a Q4 for an obscene amount of money, but with this, I will have crossed on all 4 current ships and the QE2, in the Grills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a long (for me) cruise with a lot of sea days, so I'm splurging on better food and service. Grills are a splurge too far on this one, alas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargassoPirate Posted March 15, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2023 She Who Must Be Obeyed and I are looking at the QM2 cruise to Tromso roundtrip from NYC for October 2024. We are RCI and Princess cruisers, but did a transatlantic on the QM2 several years ago and loved the ship. No country fare rides and no feral children. Didn't see a single T-shirt or ballcap on backwards in the Britannia dining room for the entire voyage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wordzz Posted March 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Booked the Queen Victoria full round South America trip on 9 January 2025 - 78 nights, yikes! Still a long way away, but an exciting prospect for us, including some ports that we can't even spell. Got the cabin we wanted, so all good. Was tempted to wait with booking until we're on board in June, but in the end decided to go for it - bird in the hand and all that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretchendz Posted March 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Just booked the Queen Victoria March 30, 2025 in a Princess Grill Suite. Have sailed the QM2 several times but a first on the Victoria. Love to sail out of Hamburg as we have family in Berlin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain these are the current amounts, but here is what I have for the amount of onboard credit you receive for booking on board, based on the length of the voyage and the cabin category. 6-9 Nights $100 per person for Inside/Oceanview $150 per person for Britannia Balcony $200 per person for Grills Suite 10+ Nights $200 per person for Inside/Oceanview $300 per person for Britannia Balcony $400 per person for Grills Suite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying both subtle and unsubtle hints but he won't budge!!! Does he have some rational reason for his stance? I sent our travel agent all our requirements on February 3rd for a Summer 2025 itinerary that is unlikely to appear on websites that have pre-release information before July or August. Her instructions are that I'll confirm the sailings when the dates become known and she should be ready to book as soon as released. I've given her a list of 5 cabin numbers, but I really expect her to get the first on that list. I'm not a fan of management speak, but we live our lives by: Fail to plan - Plan to fail. There are practical reasons; in that it saves me getting all the information in one place nearer the time and I don't know what her own cruising plans are for this year. She's just back from about a fortnight on P&O's Arvia, so she might be catching up on what she missed in the pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted March 18, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 18, 2023 D&N If I'm being honest with myself he does have legitimate reasons for being cautious, namely cost and health. He doesn't want the commitment of a cruise hanging over us, even if at this stage it would only be the deposit. Secondly is our health. We are both senior citizens and our health is not brilliant and sadly it's not going to improve. I'm never going to change him, not after 50+ years of marriage, but who knows, he may surprise me yet!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsva Posted March 19, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Yes! Booked on M509 PG (Westbound TA leaving April 27, 2025)….so excited! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ray Posted March 20, 2023 #17 Share Posted March 20, 2023 We can't decide between the Rio to Fort Lauderdale segment of the WC or the San Francisco to Hong Kong, one on QV one on QA. We will decide nearer the time when I've had the opportunity to fence my share of the Brinksmat robbery....😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibabacruisers Posted March 21, 2023 #20 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Oh sorry, yes I meant South America. We can't wait, but at least now we will have plenty of time to salivate and plan...lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibabacruisers Posted March 22, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Great on booking the 78 nt RT SOU! We were thinking about it but decided we wanted to start in the US to visit family and other travels prior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
