Alanxx Posted November 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If I had 1500 days I would want more than "a few" additional benefits !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant1151 Posted November 20, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I did ask Cruise Sales which is how it came about. We are on the Around South America in January as there are 1400 passengers doing the whole trip they do not know what services will bebavailable onboard - concierge. Progressing from that I mentioned there are more of us in Diamond class and had they considered a further class. Told I had to wait until I was there to find out the additional benefits which made me curious if anyone knew what they were. We are also Elite with Princess and love the free laundry and dry cleaning. I was hoping for something similar, but will have to be patient or maybe someone on CC does know.

I'd like to think they'd bring back the 'Grills Events' on longer cruises before they start splashing out on cheap gimmicks. I've recently been awarded 'Elite' status on Princess and haven't sailed with them yet. :evilsmile::evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Solent Richard Posted November 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2017 And while I'm on the subject, last week I tried to book a Cunard cruise on Queen Victoria in 2019. Guess what? No 5% World Club/Past Passenger Discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted November 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2017 CWC benefits are very poor compared to many other cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted November 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2017 CWC benefits are very poor compared to many other cruise lines. Well personally, I think all the free internet we get as diamond, is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted November 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2017 And while I'm on the subject, last week I tried to book a Cunard cruise on Queen Victoria in 2019. Guess what? No 5% World Club/Past Passenger Discount. Sorry to hear you are not able get the 5% World Club/Past Passenger Discount on 2019 voyages booked in the UK. For what it's worth, Cunard is offering that 5% discount on voyages booked through their US web site (cunard.com). I just tried pricing a 2019 Queen Victoria voyage on cunard.com. If I did not supply my Cunard World Club number at the start of the booking process, the base fare quoted was $3549.00. When I went back and supplied my Cunard World Club number, the base fare was reduced to $3371.00. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted November 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 20, 2017 When the 2019 cruises were first launched the 5% discount was supposed to be in place until November 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Solent Richard Posted November 22, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Were you trying to book a World Cruise/Exotic voyage segment ? Hi Hattie. Yes, and I completed the booking for a Grills Suite yesterday thanks to a very good TA discount and despite Cunard's tactic Interestingly they have an offer on at the moment - till the end of November - which almost compensated... Cunard are offering following $200 OBC as Standard $325 OBC under Military $580 OBC on an Oct/Nov Promotion. So I'm a happy bear once more.

majortom10 Posted November 23, 2017 #20 Share Posted November 23, 2017 When we booked our recent cruise in a Grills suite on QE in April 2016 they were offering an amount of OBC and then after a period offered "free" drinks package but the the price of cruise greatly increased to cover "free" drinks package and then they removed drinks and increased OBC but kept at the higher price. I was glad to have booked earlier and got a smaller amount of OBC and the cruise saving £600pp compared to later prices of drinks package and extra OBC. Nothing in life is free.

Why do you keep on about Carnival shares and shareholder benefit the thread is about Cunard's own loyalty programme Cunard World Club and nobody on this thread has mentioned shareholder benefit or Carnival shares except you. I really do not understand what you are on about and what your point is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
