Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. And it is great. It's a game changer for getting to the QM2. As an earlier post pointed out, check the schedules online (or on the app) as they do change seasonally. The spring schedule just went into effect, and there will probably be another change by August. If you're leaving Red Hook after the QM2 docks I'd recommend using the app for buying tickets (because there's usually a mob descending on the ticket machine). But leaving Wall Street you won't encounter the same crowd, so you can just buy your tickets from the ticket office or machine.
  2. Looking at my calendar, it was Jan 25th. And it looks like there were two gala nights that week, so it was "just" a smart attire evening.
  3. We had one on Queen Victoria last year. We had Scottish tartan pocket squares for our nod to the theme. There was the presentation of the haggis, and some Burns readings. It was held on one of the outer aft decks.
  4. I have, once or twice. In the Novotel case, it wasn't that it wasn't working, it just didn't exist. A portable radiator was delivered when needed. And, in the summer, the aircon consisted of a fan brought to the room.
  5. That may be a function of it being a British hotel. We encountered the same, in December, at the Novotel in Southampton. Only the executive rooms had heat.
  6. FWIW, I finally remembered to email Cunard about my question re: OBC when using an FCC. Here's the reply. I think the conditions must have been tightened, because I'm virtually certain I've used FCCs against the types of (now prohibited) fares and received the OBC. Thank you for your inquiry about the benefits of our onboard sales program. I am sorry to advise that not all of our promotions combine with the onboard sales program due to the discounts that certain promotions provide. In general, the program will not combine with holiday promotions, last-minute fares, or other fares within the final payment period. You did receive the benefit on your voyage with us this past January as it was booked on a standard public fare. I apologize for the disappointing answer and wish you both the very best,
  7. Yes, I'm expecting a flurry of photos, beginning around 8-9AM (eastern US time)!
  8. It doesn't appear to be on Cunard's YouTube channel. It appears to only be embedded in the tweet. (Are they still called tweets if it's no longer twitter?)
  9. Perhaps not. But, at about once a year, more than many.
  10. NO! They don't bother me at all.
  11. I can confirm that, on the QM2, there are two outlets at either side of the head of the bed. Each is a single outlet, so unless you want to do without the bedside lamp, you'd need an adapter similar to the following (you'd then also need a UK-to-North American adapter, obviously)
  12. It looks like you're missing 9-15 June 2024 QM2 westbound transAtlantic (it may be M416? The voyage number doesn't appear in My Cunard or on our agent's booking confirmation). The two gala evenings are: 10 June - Red & Gold 13 June - Masquerade
  13. You can try this stuff. It works. But, as was pointed out, the stain may now be set. I don't think you'll find this in the grocery. I usually find it in hardware stores.
  14. Actually, I think I purchased my shares subsequent to the booking. You simply need to be holding the shares at the time you claim the benefit (obviously).
  15. I understand the difference. My point was that the shareholder benefit seems to have been tightened the same way FCD benefit has been.
