ROYALBOY Posted November 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I will start off by saying I know I will get bashed, but have learned my lesson already. We had booked a QM2 TA for August. I understood that the deposit was non refundable, but I missed the part that said non-transferable.We have decided that the 2 cruises we had for July/August are just too early for Europe and cruising. The celebrity cruise I will be able to transfer to 2022, but the Cunard cruise is lost and gone forever, even though we wanted to transfer it to a more expensive cruise later in the year. Oh well, live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How mature, well played sir! Edited November 12, 2020 by PORT ROYAL Predictive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted November 12, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It's also unusual that we seem to have better booking conditions in the UK at the moment. Sorry that you have lost your deposit, I hope it doesn't put you off sailing with Cunard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david,Mississauga Posted November 12, 2020 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2020 If it was me I wouldn't cancel this early. I would wait until the final payment is due then make the decision. If the situation in the U.S. and/or Europe is still dire it is possible Cunard will cancel the crossing and they would have to refund the deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted November 13, 2020 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I agree. Don't cancel until it's time for final payment. Things may change. I received a full refund from Aer Lingus for a planned trip to Europe by waiting until they informed me that the outbound flight was cancelled. Before then I could only have applied the full fare toward a later booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its even odder than that - I booked today for an Jul 2022 cruise on Cunard - from NZ (Australia site but a NZ TA) - 5% deposit refundable except for NZ$50pp until Jan 2022 - also a huge OBC of US$910 for a 34 night cruise.
