Rare 57eric Posted November 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2018 My wife wants to try to purchase one of the navy Cunard pillows that are in the cabins. My question is not whether this is possible or not. Rather, who would be the best person to talk to on board to get a definitive, face to face response? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the shop where all the other logo stuff is sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted November 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Definitely not available on QM2 recently and there was very little memorabilia for sale like there used to be. I assume they have reduced stock on all ships. Couldnt even buy prints that used adorn the walls near the library anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they will (politely) tell you "No." You might have more luck telling them that you accidentally dropped one overboard or flushed it down the head, and offer to pay to replace it. Good luck with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 57eric Posted November 19, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The responses so far are all things I know. Let me try to be clearer: Who is the best person in a leadership position on the ship to respond to the pillow question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what answer you're looking for ... if the cabin fittings are not for sale then you're pretty much left with the options of (a) stealing a cushion or (b) going home disappointed. For the most definitive answer, instead of asking the punters on CruiseCritic one might try going to the source https://www.cunard.com/contact-us/ Once on board you will have to go to the Purser's Desk to request to speak to the Hotel Manager i.e. "The Purser". I mean, you could bang on the wheelhouse door too, and ask to speak with the Captain. You'll likely get the same response, with the bonus addition of some salty nautical invective.

Underwatr Posted November 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) On a recent cruise we asked our steward about the source of the pillows and he agreed to find the answer. He provided us with the name of a company that upon investigation, sells exclusively to the hospitality industry. A close approximation is the Carnival Comfort Collection, which sells a couple of levels of pillows (microfiber "stateroom" and down & feather "suite") as well as bedding, pillows and bathrobes. We've been buying their pillows for a few years. But I don't know of a source for the decorative pillows.
