I am so glad to hear you are finally on the ship and being taken care of.  Thank you for the update!

Thank you, Roy for detailing your experience and what you will be doing!  It will be great to follow you as I have enjoyed your trip reports for years!  I hope you have a fantastic trip!

This is one of my favorite morning rituals.  Wake up and head to my computer, not checking the weather outside, listening to various birds singing and pulling up the sunrise photos from a Cunard ship!  How relaxing and enjoyable!

With Runnerbean, was it the free tour and did you and/or others give an amount at the end?  Just trying to get an estimate.

When I initially saw this I kind of got excited for our upcoming 34-night cruise.   It did not last long though.  It still requires both people to book.  The price we see for our voyage is $12.75 pp per day or $433.50 pp per voyage!  I am the only one who uses the internet so $25.00 per day (for the entire voyage is $850) or $867 per voyage just does not make sense for me, plus you still cannot use your CWC allotment at the moment against a pre-cruise booking.  I will just go with the idea to purchase on board using our CWC credit strategically to get the most out of it. 

Great capture of the lightning! Amazing.

Glad I popped in to see a waterfall in Juneau!

QE is in Barcelona today 18 September, at Terminal D.  A big turnaround day.  Welcome to those boarding later today and safe onward travels for those returning home.  We have only one more week aboard  but are eager to see Barcelona today 🌞.  The last time here was 1994 so I imagine some things have changed. 

 

Thanks for taking us along and showing this picture!  We will be embarking in about 6 weeks....

I knew you would get this....but I found it and was remembering one of our first QE cruises.

Nice shot as the sun went down....

Found this........

Thank you, MrsPeel for your review of your first Cunard cruise!  It was a wonderful review from your positive outlook and I could feel your excitement throughout your review!  You were thorough and included many details that I am sure will help everyone on Cruise Critic. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I hope you get your things back!

Oh Marie, I am so sorry to hear about the losses you have suffered especially your loving husband. You truly have been missed!  We are all here for you when you are ready.  Lots of love to you.

Thank you, Bill and Mary Ann for taking us along!  I have been daydreaming for a while and was looking for just what we wanted, a blog of yours to occupy our time before we board Cunard QE in 6 weeks.

How exciting!

If you buy the 2 hour pass prior to boarding, is it actually for only the two hours or do you actually get the whole day?  I thought I read somewhere recently that the person booked a 2 hour slot but were allowed to use it all day.

Thank you for your review!

Thank you for all of your responses!  Sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong or in the twilight zone 😉 but glad others have had this issue come up.

Thank you all so much for the confirmation that Cunard Australia site does not show the OBC and it is probably due to the Big Balcony Promotion?  I know that when we have looked at other cruises we do see the Cunard Fare versus other fares and the OBC does show for those.

I did check out online TA sites for the same cruise and saw the OBC there (which I have checked on previous investigations), but just wish Cunard would make things clear.

Hi, can anyone who has done a cruise that stopped in Bali and/or Jakarta give any advice as to what visas were required for your cruise (for Australians)?  As usual there is confusion with regards to visas and we would appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance!

After reading about the Queens Room on QM2, some friends, Paul and Carole who have given me permission to use their photo, who are on board and posted a picture of everyone having a wonderful time, so I thought I would post it here.  I had forgotten how it all looked as we haven't been on here for awhile.

Hi everyone.  We, over the years, have booked using Cunard online as well as various TA's.  Prior to covid I remember that when you booked online yourself any OBC used to show, but for the past few years I have noticed they do not specify.  At the moment, we are trying to book a 2025 Fjord cruise on QM2 under the "Big Balcony Event" which says extra on board spend but does not say how much.  Even going through the process until the time to pay, still does not list this.  

Has anyone else had this occur?  I have checked online TA just to see if they show amount and they do.  We do not want to book without knowing for sure and I have tried calling them but of course, since it is Sunday here, they are closed.

So frustrating, but guess I will have to wait to call them tomorrow (Monday).  I just wanted to see if anyone noticed that they stopped showing the actual amount in recent times. I have posted this in the general Cunard Forum as well.

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know, or have recent experience, about visa for Bali if you are on a cruise (rather than flying in)?
