Onboard Spend Question

[Minnie29]

Anyone onboard any of the ships at the moment could tell me what the perks are for booking whilst onboard? 
I am particularly interested in Britannia and Britannia club cabins.

Thank you so much

Was on board QM2 in August.

 

Can't tell you about OBC's, but the booking for the rest of 2025 is on 4 October, so that's the time to book, if you are a past passenger.

In this thread I put the most recent update on OBC by cabin by length, see the photo. It was from last week so it's up to date. You also get a reduced deposit.

However note that one option is no longer possible.  We used to make an open booking while on board, that is make a deposit to be used the next time we book Cunard.  Cunard used to offer a modest amount of OBC for these open bookings.  That program has been cancelled.

Future Cruise Deposits are still available to those in the US and Canada.  We bought two on the QE just three months ago. I hope they have not been discontinued since then. The cost for us was $390 pp in Canadian funds, so obviously it would be less in US funds.  They offer the same on-board credit as booking a cruise on-board and they are valid for four years and are fully refundable.

We tried to do this on the QE about 3 weeks ago and were told that this program is no longer available.

We were told the same thing onboard the QM2 in May.

Followed up by calling Cunard World Club as some here were reporting that they were purchasing FCD's onboard that included OBC.

CWC rep confirmed availability ,and wrong info onboard . Allowed us to purchase FCD over phone.

I'm sorry, but my memory is slipping.  I received this information on the QM2 in May, 2023, just like MCC Retired did.  I guess I should have been more aggressive and called Cunard, or even asked when we were on the QE this month.  So it seems as though the Cunard sales rep on the QM2 was providing inaccurate information.  Oh well.  It's not the end of the world.  I will pursue this the next time we are on board a Cunard ship.

I hope it hasn't changed. As I said we purchased them on the QE in June of this year. We also made a booking. Everything was handled efficiently.

We booked a cruise to Italy whilst onboard and wow is it worth it,such a small deposit and more onboard spending,definitely worth it x
