Back-to-Back Cruises

[funtastic]

As a newbie to Cunard, will be thankful for comments if Cunard awards back-to-back perks or benefits like a number of cruise lines do.

 

If so, how does one go about it, thanks.

We have sailed on a number of multi segment cruises [e.g. transatlantic round trips with a European additional segment or two].

A am unaware of Cunard offering  any 'back to back' perks other than possible advancement in 'world club' levels if the segments are booked as separate cruises.

No perks for back to back that I know about.  I love going back to back.  If you have not booked your trip yet, ask Cunard.   Can't hurt.  Maybe they can do some additional onboard credit ??

 Re; back to back itineraries,  certainly no perks offered from Cunard that I'm aware of. 

Could you share with us what in the way of benefits or perks you may have received from other cruise lines.

Thank you all for your prompt inputs. I had already booked two cruises back-to-back on QE, and in the absence of any enlightenment from the Q&A's, I hoped to tap on the wealth of regular Cunard cruisers on this  forum.

 

We had cruised back-to-back on Azamara last year and the year before.  On both occasions, were rewarded onboard credits for each cruise segment, amounts of which varies on the duration of each cruise segment. Details, and the process, are available in Azamara's website.

 

Similar rewards are also offered by some cruise lines too.

So if a person takes two trips back to back they should be rewarded? However, if I take two trips with an interval between, I get nothing?

 

Can't see the logic in the expectation.

Crystal cruises used to offer 10% discount (from memory) for those who booked back-to-back cruises. But they went broke so...

I remember that MSC used to allow you to use your status - e.g Diamond with Cunard - and they would give you the equivalent status and perks. I am not sure if they still do this...

The best benefit we found of a B2B was we had the run of the ship between 9 and 1! It was virtually a hot tub per person.

Ahh, the cesspool.

Thank you all for your comments. My question is probably answered.

[funtastic]

As a follow-up on my back-to-back, would be thankful for comments on the process one may expect on disembarkation/embarkation crossover day.

 

Will there be a briefing the day before for all back-to-back guests as conducted on some cruise lines?

[TheOldBear]

On Cunard, in transit guests still have the option of a room service breakfast. 

There are no special briefings for in transit passengers - there may be shore excursions. 

 

Often there are very few in transit passengers - on my recent three segment sailing, I was told that only 179 passengers were booked for the entire 26 night cruise.

Thank you, OldBear.
