I am in a quandary. I booked onboard 3 weeks ago and was pleased to pay a very low deposit & got very generous OBC. The price of my cruise has, however, decreased by £900 with this promotion. I believe that (under Cunard UK T&Cs) I can only transfer the deposit to a cruise of equal or higher value. As I still want to do the cruise I originally booked I assume my options are either transferring my deposit to a higher grade on the same cruise (in which case I would not actually save any money) or cancelling the booking, forfeiting the deposit and rebooking the cruise from scratch. With the 2nd option I would save the £900 (less £350 forfeited deposit) but would have to pay a new higher deposit and take considerably less OBC, so the saving is not quite so significant. I think on balance I will leave things as they are. I would however, for future reference, be interested to know from experienced UK Cunarders whether they tend to book onboard for the generous benefits or hold off in the expectation of greater savings from promotions such as this.

Thank you Bluemarble

In what way has the VACCINATION policy changed? I see no difference

Hello Jack, you mention that 5-6 passengers were required to immediately return to their cabins and contact the purser’s desk - does that mean that during the voyage there was a mandatory onboard testing of all passengers? Or do you think they were identified as close contacts of someone who referred themselves to the medical team?
