  1. Remember Well During Those Times...on the QM2.....
  2. You will not be able to view them till you booked the sailing and had a booking number to access the Shore Excursion part of the trip. You may not also be able to view all till you are getting closer to the sailing date. Maybe around the 4th or 3rd Month prior. If excursions is popular, they may add additional space when on board.
  3. Jack, Fortunately my DW and I have not changed in the last 7 years surprisingly. Being 72 this year, I am still being taken honestly for 60 and DW 71 for youthful 62. When asked for our ages in conversations, people are amazed. I know my dear departed father left us at 97 and still looked like early 80's Must be Genes I guess. At check-in's laugh are exchanged for "What, Really" when seeing ID's. In profile photo - you two look GREAT!
  4. We uploaded our photos that are a file we repeat using, when the final check in at the 21 days before sailing with the credit card we intend using. They have always accepted them and no need any action at the pier. Just have to have the right size and area they want visible. We fill in NOK after booking.
  5. YES, IT'S TRUE...........1 MORE YEAR !!!!!......WOW.........Countdown continues......
  6. Many times it is applied by Loyalty Points gains over the history of sailing with the Line or Company. Unless in a Very Upper Category Cabin/Suite where it can possibly be applied.
  7. Computerization does take time when a travel agent is involved in booking a sailing and forwarding it to the travel agent first. We always had to wait when anticipating a copy of the confirmation from the Line thru the agent. We now book with the line directly with little wait. We too wish to see what is in the Booking site like everybody else.
  8. Our Line Cunard did release their 2026 we can see on their website. You should look at the Lines you are interested websites for future sailing on the year you interested in. We have received mailings from lines sailing in later 2025 and early 26.
  9. On past sailings we work with the photographer while listening what they suggest and then mention what our thoughts are and work out the pose. We know that they may sometimes have a line at certain times, but we go when a line is at it's lowest. And we both can work out a pose worth purchasing and saving. We do prefer the Grand Lobby Staircase as a background to those rolled up backgrounds some parts of the ship have setup on Gala Nights. Interesting but still artificial. And on the last sailing, we took a friend on the Mary 2 for the first time. We all past a photo shoot location and all took a shot to see what a photo would good like. Being a solo, she was a good sport and did a solo shots and was pleasantly happy with the results on purchase. We enjoy working with the Photographers on board.
  10. Those with cabins on the far end of the Deck 12 will be close to Elevator/Staircase B which will gain you access to many of the lower decks and public locations more direct. Examples below... Some locations a bit of distance.... Deck 9 Commodore Lounge Deck 8 Library, Verandah Restaurant Deck 7 Restaurants, Buffet, Gym, Bar, Outside Deck Deck 3 Restaurant, Upper Theater Level, Shops, Bars, Queens Room and Illuminations Theater Deck 2 Lower Theater Level, Casino, Tour Office, Bars, Lower Restaurant Entrance, Connextions and Computer Room
  11. As mentioned in the past, Forward is A Staircase/Elevator and Rear is B Staircase/ Elevator and access to Pavillion Pool and access to the outside deck. The Pavillon Pool can a bit active since passengers are bathing and their is a Bar. Also a visiting band also plays at certain times of the day in the Pavillon bar. But the cabins are quite sound proofed that really bother us were in the cabin. We would like to also mention, we favor the height of the Deck location for the wonderful views when sailing all day and night long.
  12. We have always enjoyed Port Side and select the cabin number personally to that side. On Caribbean sailings, we favor Port since we would have Sun to our cabin in the Mornings going down. Also can enjoy sitting early in the day on the balcony also. Living in Brooklyn, NY we really don't need to view the sailing out of the harbor since we see it all the time. The end of the hallway toward the forward is A Staircase/Elevator if you need to access the lower decks that way. Also the Ship's Bridge can be viewed when open to see the Officers operate the ship when at sea. It is only closed in Port and during bad weather. Interesting location to view. We really don't mind being on Deck 12 since we will be 5 decks above Deck 7 the Promenade Deck. We really never found in any of our cabins anything that annoyed us. Also there is a Partition against the edge of the ship's deck preventing noise from the Sun Deck at the farther end of Deck 12. Cabins 12052 to 12056 on the Port side is near the metal staircase to the Sun Deck Deck 13.
  13. Dear MonJ, Welcome to CC on the Cunard Board. As a Cunarder who steadily books Britannia Club and sometimes PG, we very much enjoy the Club area in Mid Fwd section, Port Side. We were once booked on Deck 13 Fwd on the Port Side. We favor Port Side in general. Our cabins were btw 12032 to 12052. Liked more 12032 since it does not have a overhang like the more back ones have. The overhang is were from the Sundeck.12032 cabin has the new cabins that are additions from the refit of 2016 placed on part of the previous Sport Deck. We did not have any negative feeling with Deck 13 cabin. Very quiet, very forward but quite a distance from the Club Dining Room on the opposite end of the ship and 11 decks down. Quite a walk. Good for walking off meals. But the plus was they were brand new from recently added and looked great. Also these cabins have baths w showers with glass doors when the other cabins have curtains. Cabin 12032 and 12052 did not were not connecting rooms to others. We are currently booked for a March 2025 Carib cruise and looking forward to it in about a year.
