  1. If I only had a busted water pipe on our world cruise I would have considered myself lucky! I had the ship not recognizing me as a passenger on the 2024 world cruise. And that happened in Freemantle Australia. It's a long story but the bottom line was that I had been wiped out of the computer and they would not let me reboard! I had to go back down the gang plank and find the officer in charge. He had me sit outside the terminal and said " I have to wait for the crew drill to be over before I can do anything!!" About forty five minutes later he finally returned and said "I have to find someone to replace me so I can help you!!" I sat outside by myself and finally called my TA. With her help the officer finally came back and escorted me aboard. No "sorry" was ever uttered. The level of incompetence is astounding. For the rest of that nightmare I just prayed that at the end the returned us to Ft. Lauderdale!!! It was a total nightmare!
  2. No it is for a specific time (a two hour block) That is what we were told. As I said we just did the full cruise unlimited for $299.
  3. We just left the QE two days ago in Ft Lauderdale. Before you board the price is $35.00 for each two hour segment. Once on board the price was $299.00 for unlimited for the 14 days we were there. Buy on board and you will love it.
  4. I just went on AARP to purchase my five gift cards for the month of August and the price is not $460.00 for the $500 gift card instead of the $450.00. Still a good deal at 8%, but not as good as a straight 10% off. Just an FYI
  5. Does anyone know the email address to send the request for the shareholder's onboard credit? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Helen
  6. I had the same experience this past January when I had to cancel my world cruise due to a family illness. Booked on 2024 world cruise and added this ins. during booking (just in case).
  7. Inland princess, much better itinerary for me...
  8. For me neither one was my preferred cruise. Glad I booked with another cruise line for 24. Glad for people who wanted those choices.
  9. We just got off NS on 4/1. Our ports on a 7 day cruise were changed because of an Azi-pod problem. Looks like it wasn't fixed!
  10. Thanks to everyone who has responded. I am glad I posted this question. We would not want to do anything to insult anyone or not respect the custom of an area, and that is why I started this thread. As my father use to say. "When in Rome........" Again thanks...
  11. This is our first Cunard cruise. On other cruise lines we have sailed we generally tip our room stewards at the beginning of the cruise and at the end in cash. We also tip our servers at breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we tip the servers in the lounges. Would this be appropriate on cunard? Thanks in advance for your imput.
  12. Thanks hpeabody for the info. That is what I was looking for.
  13. I will be on the Island Princess for the world cruise in 2024. On the deck plans there is a place called the sanctuary. What is it used for, and is there a fee to use it? From the deck plans it looks like a large area. Thanks for any information.
  14. Just got off NS on 4/1. Not my cup of tea. Neptune Suite was SMALL compared to the older ships. Ship was full. Lots of kids, mostly well behaved. Pools were packed on sea days. There were too many people for the amenities. A ship this size needs 3 pools not 2!!! OMG!! There were babies in diapers in the pool. I thought children needed to be potty trained before being in a pool. Banditswife, you are correct. Last Nov it was a different ship. Our next cruise will be this November and on an older ship. The new ships have too many people for the amount of amenities on the ship.
  15. Are they comparable to HAL'S Neptune suites? Is the dress more formal??? On Queen Elizabeth we have a private table. What exactly does this mean?? Should we brush up on our etiquette for dining,. Does Cunard have "full" setting as apposed to HAL's partial settingup the last few years. Thanks for any info.
  16. Sister and I are booked the Queen Elizabeth for a 14 day Panama city canal cruise. We usually cruise in s Neptune suite on HAL we are in a princess grill suite on the Queen Elizabeth are they comparable? Is the dress the dress more formal? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
  17. Bill & Maryanne are you thinking about skipping next years WC? Sure sounds like it from your report

    Queen Anne

    I am new to the Cunard boards. My first cruise on Cunard will be in August on the QE. We are doing the westbound Panama Canal on our way home from Tahiti. In doing the research on my upcoming cruise I stumbled across the 2025 world cruise. I love the itinerary and was very impressed in his cust. service handled our original booking so I put a cabin on hold. I agree with the poster that said the music walk on the konningsdam is awful, it is. I would love to find out who actually designed that mess! It is a terrible idea. I just looked ar the stats of Konningsdam is 99,500 tons and carries 2650 passengers and QE is 113,500 and carries 2996 passengers. The additional space should help with the additional passengers. I hope the designers have not copied konningsdam's promenade deck as that would be a mistake. I will keep my fingers crossed on that one.
  20. Room service. Pick up your phone and call...
  21. Oops! Forgot: hope you are having a great Safari!!!
  22. Thanks Pete. Which one of the survey itineraries do you think will be the "one"??? A,B, C or D? I am onboard for all but "D".
  23. My sis and I are thinking of flying to Tahiti and spending a week on Moorea. What is the best time to go? Thanks for any info.
  24. Thanks. I have a "futuredam" booking already set up, but I only like 3 of the 4 itineraries that are proposed. WhY does HAL dilly-dally with putting out the world cruise. Even Princess has theirs posted!
  25. When will HAL announce the 2025 world cruise's itinerary??? There are other cruises in February 2015listed but not the world cruise. Any ideas when it will be listed???
