  1. Hi everyone, this has been an interesting thread to read considering we are going to be doing a cruise in January 2025 around S.A. Can anyone let me know their experience for visa for: Brazil Argentina Peru Ecuador Chile Uruguay I have checked a few sites already including Smart Traveller, but it seems a bit confusing since they don not specifically address arriving via cruise ship. I would appreciate any advice or comments. I always find this part of trip planning a challenge. Thank you in advance!
  2. If anyone else was doing the 2025 South America cruise. It has been pretty quiet on the roll call.
  3. If you feel motion sickness, you may want to consider further back than the forward cabins on Deck 8 and 12.
  4. It is good to hear, through this thread, that there are a few more people on this cruise next year! The roll call has been pretty quiet and I was beginning to wonder.
  5. Great photos sfred and Roy!

  7. Prior to our first cruise on Cunard, there was a video of Commodore Bernard Warner and he said Cue-nard, so that is how I have been saying it since. I have heard both Cue-nard and Koo-nard though.
  8. Well done sfred for the imaginative thread! How wonderful to think back to those times!
  9. Thank you sfred for the morning sunrises photos. I hope you are enjoying your cruise!
  10. Years ago, we were on QE and brought microwave popcorn and we asked a crew member in the Lido and they were able to pop it for us. It was great but I don't know if they would do it now.
  11. Thanks for all the input and experiences! We are leaning to just keep the cruise as it is as it is to Norwegian Fjords and we have never been to that area.
  12. I would love to try kaftans! Would you mind telling me the brand as I have no ideas of good brands? Thank you in advance! Would also love to see a picture!
  13. Dear Kathi, I am so glad to hear from you! It is great news that you are cancer free! You are a very strong woman and we all love you! I am so glad to hear that you will be enjoying your next cruise in March and it was so heartwarming to hear how your friends will be there to help you! It will be a great first step towards 2025 and many others. I also look forward to your trip reports and photos because I love your perspective. Thank you again for dropping in to tell us how you are!
  14. Thank you both for the info. I am trying to figure out if I can save my deposit by transferring a booking to a higher price cruise and will email Cunard and see what they say.
  15. Hi, I have never had to consider cancelling a Cunard cruise and was wondering if I could pick your brains before I approach Cunard. The time has passed for losing the deposit so am trying to figure out what my options are. Can I transfer the deposit to another cruise and what are the ramifications of that? Any help will be appreciated greatly!
