Think it will be a total long shot to find a CC member who had this Stateroom. All one can say looking at the ship plan, is it's a Cunard Stateroom in a nice position. What else would one require for one's a first Cunard Cruise experience. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seacruise9 Posted September 17, 2020 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hi, My stateroom was 4047 during a Mediterranean cruise on the very similar Queen Victoria in September 2018. This was a nice stateroom in an excellent location. The balcony is spacious and the forward stairs and elevators are very close. It is very convenient to take the stairs to the public rooms on Decks 2 and 3. The Queen Elizabeth is a wonderful ship. I was supposed to sail on it again in June 2020, but of course my cruise was cancelled. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer I see this recommneded a lot and I don't get it. Assuming (and its a huge assumption) - that these are even a thing in the future - from what I understand is you can only use these towards full priced fares and not towards discounted fares? For example I like the look of this cruise in 2022 https://www.cunard.com/en-au/find-a-cruise/Q214/Q214.cabin - but the campaign fare is not eligible for a deposit to be paid via a FCD As per Combinable with the Cunard Fare and Early Saver Fares only (subject to the cruise of your choice being available) https://www.cunard.com/en-au/frequently-asked-questions Edited September 20, 2020 by lissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's putting me off booking anything on them. I agree though that a cruise around Japan would be great in fact I was supposed to be on a Cunard one this month! One for the future, if we're lucky.

Recently, some Saver Fares were seen to be higher than an Early Saver. We book on "Launch", select our Stateroom, take the 5% launch discount, then be given good OBC for the Cunard Fare, use FCDs and take £50.00 pp off, and receive an additional US$250.00 pp Edited September 20, 2020 by PORT ROYAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted September 20, 2020 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Unfortunately FCD are no longer available at £50pp they were increased some time ago before Covid to I believe but not 100% certain to £175pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted September 20, 2020 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I have 2 purchased on QM2 last November and worry that if the new brochure isnt released soon by then I will lose them as they only supposed to last 12 months.

Sadly, we have 16 live from cancelled cruises, with 12 unused stored online with Cunard, which were destined for this month's new brochure. Happy to confirm Cunard have extended without boundaries. Don't think you'll have a problem using two FCDs by end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not booking anything until Cunard starts sailing! If they aren't doing dancing - I'm not going its that simple. I actually wouldn't do the around Japan's main islands because I want to do that by land -the trains are so good. But I want to do the one that goes to Okinawa because that's remote and more difficult to get to - would be fun to do at the end of a land-based Japan trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
