We are first time Cunard passengers and are staying Princess Grill deck 8, from what I have read this arrival times seem to be completely random. Arrival times are based on cabin type eg Grills or then deck. They are not random. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Os Posted July 17, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Received our boarding time yesterday for our Aug Fjords cruise, 3.30pm. We’re Platinum Deck 6. Never had such a late boarding time. Disappointed as I will miss lunch in the Pub, which is always a great way to start a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted July 17, 2023 #28 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I do not understand the higher the deck the later you are, as they charge a premium for higher decks. Logically other way round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rakkor Posted July 17, 2023 #29 Share Posted July 17, 2023 We've a short (Amsterdam) cruise booked on QV in September. I've already booked the train journey (£66 1st class return) for the pair of us from Waterloo which will be arriving at Soton at 12:20, so I'm hoping our boarding time isn't too late. If it is we can always grab lunch out somewhere. We need 3 days for diamond and this seemed like a good way of getting it and also we will have the option of booking the October Eastern Med cruise on board as well with the possibility of a deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember which ship but on Embarkation day Golden Lion doesn’t close until 4 also doesn’t open until 1 I would need to dig out my old daily programmes . I have sailed on all 3 Queens so will be able to check later for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted July 18, 2023 #31 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Whatever grade of cabin you are in Platinum level and above get early priority boarding only at Southampton and New York, whatever the boarding time you’ve been allocated.

The Os Posted July 18, 2023 #32 Share Posted July 18, 2023 That was my understanding but when I received the allocation I thought perhaps I had mis understood. Maybe we will head down earlier and if they turn us away just drop off the cases and walk into town. Does anybody know whether they serve afternoon tea in the Queens Room on embarkation days? If I miss the Pub lunch I might be be able to head there for afternoon tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Hattie Posted July 18, 2023 #34 Share Posted July 18, 2023 But Room Service is available from 3pm, you can order afternoon tea from there although I haven't tried it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Os Posted July 18, 2023 #35 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Thank you, hopefully we will get lucky and be onboard early enough to dash to the Pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delgirl Posted August 11, 2023 #36 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Had our boarding times today. We are 1.30 sheltered balcony deck 6. Our DD. SIL and 2 grandkids in inside deck 6 3.00 pm. No rhyme or reason, think they must pick cabin times out of a hat.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time Cunard has been promising priority boarding only for New York and Southampton. Yet they do offer it in the two Canadian ports which Cunard uses: Vancouver and Québec. Recently Britannia Club is on the list for priority boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
