I think you may have received the Summer 2023 Cunarder based on this reply from April 27 on the earlier "Cunarder Summer 2023 thread". If the timing is similar to last time, those of us in the US can expect this latest Cunarder Winter 2023 issue in about a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next, I’ll be swearing I’ve never been on a Cunard ship, despite evidence to the contrary. Apologies all round. BTW, I really haven’t had a yearbook since Covid, I’ve just checked. Apologies again.

I see I haven't been able to convince you they'll be collector items in a couple of years, you should be passing them onto your family.

I have beautiful Cunard 90s world cruises memorabilia from my parents, really beautiful glassware, porcelain plates, 'carved' Chinese scenes enclosed in glass with the World Cruise dinner menu printed on the glass... I call those collector items. I think I'll be dead and underground before my copy of the magazine becomes anything near a collectors item. For fun, I've just looked at ebay. I don't think I'll be dining out on the proceeds of selling my Diamond pin, especially as it's strung up as a Christmas tree decoration. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrsPeel55 Posted November 12, 2023 #22 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Not sure how long it will take for the items to reach a huge price, but I most definitely know there is a growing interest in all Cunard things both sides of the pond, I m talking UK and USA, which is what I have good knowledge of it. We have always been interested in Queen Mary's history in all her incarnations as both members of my family and my in laws had served/worked on board at some point. A few years ago, Patricia V. Davis, a USA writer, did a trilogy novel, Secret Spice Cafe Trilogy : book 1 Cooking for Ghosts, book 2 Spells & Oregano, book 3 Demons, well Seasoned. The whole thing happens on board of Queen Mary which is docked in California, The Secret Spice Cafe is a fictionary (not sure it is the right word?) restaurant, the owners and workers live in the ship. We saw a lot of people in social media started to be curious about British ships in general. The fact that so many personalities and entertainment people have sailed in Cunard's ships also is an attraction for young and not so young these days as "vintage" is trend. My daughter mentioned that some of her friends watching the Now & Then- Beatles documentary - mentioned Paul Mc Cartney talking about Queen Elizabeth when considering staging one recording on a ship, and there is a couple of minutes video of a Cunard ship (not sure if QE, but definitely a Cunard ship), apparently some of her friends asked her about the experience we had on board in September after watching that.... Also, judging by the prices I was able to sell some of my clothes from the 70s & 80s..... @Victoria2 maybe right and we wont see the items reach a good price in our life time...but I think my daughter will.... thing is, the way we hoard on memorabilia (well, anything, really, specially me, I am sooooo hard to part with stuff that has some significance, I scrapbook, also have proven that old clothes of mine my daughter hated at 14, she now treasures and she is on her way to being the extreme hoarder I am LOL....) not sure she will sell all we collected from Cunard! 😁 Edited November 12, 2023 by MrsPeel55 typos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted November 12, 2023 #23 Share Posted November 12, 2023 not sure she will sell all we collected from Cunard! 😁 I wouldn't dream of selling any of our Cunard mementoes. I will eventually give them away, and have already done so with a few pieces but mementoes are very personal it depends on the proposed recipient's interest as to whether they would like to receive them. Apart from two model ships of QV, pre and post stern mauling, and teddy bears, oh and the Diamond loyalty pins I have none of the bumf acquired on our Cunard cruises, but I do have some of my parents collection. As my son has been motion sickness ill on all the ships he's cruised on with us, from the age of four to first year at college, he hasn't the slightest interest in Cunard or any vehicle involving sea travel! I shall have to find a suitable recipient who will value them and not take them to a charity shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrsPeel55 Posted November 12, 2023 #24 Share Posted November 12, 2023 @Victoria2 agree 100% I will take a photo of all the stuff we brought back with us (and have no intention of getting rid of!!!) .... we maybe only silver but the love for Cunard is strong, my daughter especially fell in love with Queen Victoria, we both are emotional and attached to little things that, like you well mention, may not mean anything to others... but even with valuable stuff.... my husband has the complete collection of Sandman comics, all in their original protective bags, which he always said would be for our daughter...when she was going to Uni, some of her friends suggested she could sell the collection....she didn't want to. My mum has the sea travel the other way around... she loved the sea and they cruised quite a lot with my dad, these days (she is 87 and not in very good health) she refuses to step into anything that goes in the water!
