Hopeful Henry Posted June 23, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Since Cunard made the annoucement about QE2's departure, I thought perhaps they'd release information about the 2009 world cruise or cruises by now. Anyone have any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any updates? By 2009 QE 2 will be gone. For me there will be no world cruises anymore. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjms74 Posted June 23, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Richard I'll second that re world cruises and no QE2!!! am already looking at suitable alternatives to Cunard!!!! Cunard will not realise what they have lost until QE2 has finally gone to Dubai & what a foolish mistake they've made!!! Kind Regards, RJMS74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songanddance Posted June 23, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Richard I'll second that re world cruises and no QE2!!! am already looking at suitable alternatives to Cunard!!!! Cunard will not realise what they have lost until QE2 has finally gone to Dubai & what a foolish mistake they've made!!! Kind Regards, RJMS74 Has anyone noticed how since the announcement, while there has been a lot of chatter on the board the level of excitment and enthusiasm for the whole concept of being on a Cunard ship seems to have left the board? I am sure $100 million beats the alternative for the company but they may have killed the golden goose a bit early and will find getting their "Mojo" to use an old word, back maybe difficult. But then again, they may have decided that with the QE2 out of the way they can move Cunard totally into the 21 century of "modern" family orientated cruising with all the glitz of the rest of Carnival's stable. As a solo cruisier, I certainly will miss the singles on the QE2 and the lower supplement even for a double cabin vs all the other lines. Even land based resorts like to reach into my pocket for extra cash. Makes one on occasion wish to drag along your local dustman as a gift to both him and the establishment for being so nice to require a 200% rate for a single.

Bramcruiser Posted June 24, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Not yet but the world cruises will continue with or without the QE2. Despite all the "moaning" about how the world cruises and Cunard will lose customers - and I am sure a number of loyals will depart - there are many more saying that its time to move on. The poll on the Cunard thread shows around 80% as saying they will either stay exclusively with Cunard or mix Cunard with other lines. The reality is that Cunard will continue and the QM2 and QV will go into 2009 with world cruises. Now its just a matter of time before the world cruise line up is introduced!

lexxity Posted June 24, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Has anyone noticed how since the announcement, while there has been a lot of chatter on the board the level of excitment and enthusiasm for the whole concept of being on a Cunard ship seems to have left the board? Erm, nope! I can't say I've noticed any less enthusiasm for being on a Cunard ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful Henry Posted June 25, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just wanted to add that Princess is also offering 2009 World Cruises, here's the link if anyone is interested or just curious: http://www.princess.com/pb/searchResults.do?time=255&trade=&duration=3&ship=&date=0109&orderBy=&filterBy=&resType=C&pageOffset= Eddie Thanks but, the ships that Princess are offering are a bit small for my taste (30,000 tons) and, given 100+ days sailing, bad weather and bad seas will be guaranteed, I'd like to have a bit more steel underneath me for stability. However, your efforts and thought behind it is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
