Yes.  Not sure what though yet. Probably not book anything except the  short pre Christmas jolly on Queen Anne but no hurry really as there are no single cabins to rush for anyway.  Doing the South America Grand voyage in January so I guess will need to see how much that finally ends up and what is left for the rest of the year.

Yes.

As decided last October we will book a round trip to New York in June 2025 in Britannia Club.

And in subsequent years until something prevents us from doing so.

I don't really see any disadvantages.

If there wasn't a round trip between end of May and mid June we might have a problem, but we could possibly move to September.

We have five booked so far, Two will def. be cancelled if they can't be transferred as  they were booked onboard for very little outlay. I'm looking at some for '25.

[3rdGenCunarder]

Maybe. The 14-day WB TA on QM2 looks good. Still wondering about what QE will be doing.

We will not be booking next week for 2025. We already have 2 cruises booked for spring and summer and looking for autumn time so will wait to see other cruise lines schedules and prices.

Yes we will definitely be booking QG on Queen Anne whatever the itinerary.

Which I mentioned in my post.

No.

 

We've booked QM2 for Jan 25 (35 days to W. Indies from Southampton) some time ago but there's nothing in the latest release to remotely tempt us.  

 

For our second trip, we might try Fred. Olsen (their itineraries are SO much more appealing) or try something completely different.

I’m interested in QA 14 day Canary Islands in November ‘25 but not rushing to book as I am also considering a Holland America sailing in that time frame.

Will see how it plays out.

I haven’t looked at the new itineraries as yet, but if they’re the same old, same old then there’s not a lot of incentive. 
 

We have a couple booked on the new ship next year, so are focusing on those for the moment. 

[jrmende63]

Yes..on QM2

[Minnie29]

Considering a TA in June but we are on QV in April ext year so May book while onboard. 
Anyone know generally what the incentive is for booking onboard compared to booking when the cruises first come out?

Reduced deposits and extra OBC . This year deposit was £175 instead of usual 15% .

It’s just a toss up whether the prices will rise sufficiently to obliterate the worth of the benefits. Or they may go down. Obviously a Med. cruise in the summer is more likely to rise, while a few days in the Channel in November May drop.

How do Transatlantics generally go? 
Looking for a sheltered balcony in June 2025 NYC to UK. 
wonder what the onboard spend will be when the cruise is released next week?
