QM2 Onboard future cruise sales - Queen Victoria???

[JGR01]

Was on a QM2 Crossing August 2005.

 

Onboard Future Cruise Sales was offering a 'pre-notice' deal for the Queen Victoria.

 

They told us that for putting a $300/pax deposit .. we would be notified a month ahead of Travel Agents for the 2008 sailing schedule for the QV .. so could book early.

 

WELLLLL .. I never looked at the credit card statement (4 pax deposted) .. and they never charged my card.

 

Now, in calling Cunard I find out that the 'promotion' was pre-notice on the first two inagural cruises ONLY.

 

I was never planning to take those .. was looking for summer 2008.

 

Onboard sales gave me bad information.

Onboard sales (or someone) never followed thru with the booking/deposit.

 

NOW I have to wait until 'summer' 2006 to find out about where the QV will be sailing in 2008 and I have no priority and no deposit in place.

 

Yes my fault for not following up last fall when the charge never hit my statement but I was busy selling a house and dealing with some health issues.

 

Anyone else had a bad experience with Onboard Future Cruise Sales? I am very surprised they did not properly follow thru.
