Earnie Posted April 5, 2021 #101 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hi, just a bit curious about your shareholder OBS being credited. I am assuming that this was from a fully paid up cruise that was cancelled? Our agent indicated that no OBS would move from one cruise to another. we gave up with carnival holding quite a bit of our cash so got refunds and also finding it hard to spend it at the time as only able to use if a major upgrade on an existing cruise booking, in any event the July cruises got cancelled as well to make way for the new staycations. we were lucky and our agent got us booked into exactly what we were looking for in August, the only problem being the coach offer which whilst it is on the website they were unable to book it as an option. email to customer services I think!

Nick&Simon Posted April 6, 2021 #102 Share Posted April 6, 2021 @Earnie Shareholder OBC was requested at time of booking and email confirming it had been granted was received 24 hours later. As I booked a Cunard Fare I asked for a complimentary parking code at for CPS, but this was denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Cunard booking reference number is what you need to give to CPS. I always book on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Cunard there is no complimentary parking with the SeaCation voyages irrespective of fare purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that info: we do prefer to dine later so hopefully this will not impact us too much in September. I wonder if this is so, as perhaps the pax numbers have not been reduced in the Grills? In another thread, I did read that it was expected that there would be a reduction of about 30% in capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who told you this ? has this come from your TA or from Cunard Line . I have future bookings for 'Two separate cruises around British Isles ( QE) both in Princess Grill'. I've not been notified of this arrangement nor has my Cruise specialist . Edited April 17, 2021 by Bell Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that dont reserve could get 8:30? Personally I would prefer 6:30. I would imagine most people would prefer later on Cunard, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie Doe Posted April 17, 2021 #113 Share Posted April 17, 2021 6.30 for us, so we can take in a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted April 18, 2021 #114 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The information re dining in the Grills is not really clear , I wonder how one will manage Breakfast or Lunch ? Reading into this, it sounds as though the Grill guest won't be seated at their dedicated table with the same waiter 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted April 18, 2021 #115 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Unfortunately in Britannia early sitting is now 5.30, I can't see that being very popular with British passengers. https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/the-cunard-experience/sailing-with-confidence/your-cunard-experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted April 18, 2021 #116 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Wont be popular with my wife and we are in California. What happened to 6:30 or 8:30? Is the second sitting really anytime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted April 18, 2021 #117 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I expect the second sitting needs to be spaced out time wise in order to accommodate the social distancing and table numbers. I agree that I cannot see 5.30 being very popular but since there are no ports, it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1000 Posted April 19, 2021 #118 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Panic not! Cunard, in their current Covid advice, state they are following the current government guidelines. These may change (hopefully for the better!) on May 17 and June 21, in which case we can expect Cunard to amend their advice to passengers accordingly. All being well we can look forward to fewer restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted April 19, 2021 #119 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Will still have social distancing after May 17th , but promised no restrictions except fornmass gatherings after June 21st. So these rules should change after June 21st, with luck. The only fly in the ointment may be size of Brittania restaurant, with 600 people, rules may be different to a normal restaurant. Don't know when mass gatherings rules kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
