Advice and tips on planning and getting the most out of cruising with Cunard Cruise Line.<br /><br />This
book provides advice and tips of planning and getting the most out
cruising with Cunard. It provides first hand advice and tips generated
from a decade of cruising with Cunard. The guide draws on my experiences
of travelling on all of Cunard’s fleet since the Queen Elizabeth 2 and
from multiple trips, as well as talking to passengers and crew.<br /><br />It is an unofficial guide to Cunard and not endorsed by the cruise line. <br /><br />This
book provides opinions and observations based on travelling as a fare
paying passenger since 2004, and provides an honest and frank assessment
of the positives. It does not gloss over the less favourable aspects,
and so aims to provide a balanced view of Cunard.<br /><br />The book also includes:<br />-
Cruise Advice and tips, including advice for first time cruisers,
cruising the Caribbean, cruising the Norwegian Fjords and Transatlantic
Crossings.<br />- History of Cunard and their heritage.<br />- Cruising with Cunard.<br />- Cunard ship reviews.<br />- Focus on Queen Mary 2<br />

Over the week, the Clarendon Fine Art Gallery on board displayed a fabulous exhibition of Rolf's stunning original paintings and collectable prints, and he made a series of personal appearances in the gallery, meeting passengers and signing artwork and books.<br />
<br />
Rolf also gave one of his famous live painting demonstrations followed by a chat with Entertainment Director Keith Maynard, which, judging by the standing ovation at the end of the session, proved to be one of highlights of the voyage<br />

<br />
<br />
Queen Mary 2 medical evacuation of a crew member off New Brunswick coast, October 1, 2012. We were traveling from Quebec City to New York. Captain Oprey came on the PA system to tell us because of the seriousness of the crew members medical condition we would be heading into shore to meet up with a Canadian Coast Guard cutter to do a medical evacuation. From my propective we made a turn to the NW and traveled around 5 hours doing approximately 25 knots to meet up with Canadian cutter.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was intrigued yesterday when my cruise agent (Jane Chadwick of </span><a href="http://www.gocruisewithjane.co.uk/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">GoCruiseWithJane.com</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">) contacted me to say that Cunard had just announced a 2 day short cruise on 17 October on the Queen Victoria from Southampton to Zeebrugge (Bruges). The prices are very sharp, with Inside at £150/ $300 through to even Grills from £349/ $520. This I assumed was due to announcing a new schedule just over a month of departure, but it got me wondering what had happened to create a new cruise at such short notice?</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After some investigation the reason was very clear. Cunard are having to take the Queen Victoria out of service to fix a problem with the propulsion service, which means they cannot maintain the speed they need to meet their cruise commitments and ports of call. So they have cancelled a cruise called “Adriatic Discovery” that was due to leave Southampton on 3 October to put the ship into dry dock in Germany to make repairs. The short cruise they have announced at the end of that appears to be a try out after the repairs before it resumes the planned cruise schedule.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Queen Victoria is going to be repositioning to the Caribbean soon for the season there, and so I assume they wanted to do the repairs before that long repositioning and to ensure the ship was in good order while still fairly near her home port, and the German Shipyards Cunard use to do repairs and refits.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People on board the ship have reported some changes have been made to current schedule which is likely due to the problem with propulsion system. For example, the Queen Victoria Black sea cruise will be affected by a morning rather than afternoon call at Palma and that Oporto has been replaced by Vigo.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The communication to those affected by the cancellation of the full cruise from Cunard explained more, along with the compensation offered as follows:</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I am very sorry to have to advise you that we have unfortunately had to cancel this voyage. This is an incredibly rare occurrence and I am very sorry that we have had to cancel at such short notice. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It has become apparent that we need to undertake some essential maintenance work on one of Queen Victoria’s propulsion units. Although there are no safety issues relating to this maintenance, it does preclude us from achieving the speeds required to deliver our voyage itineraries and therefore it will be necessary to take the ship out of service for a short period. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Recognising how much you will have been looking forward to sailing with us, we have listed some voyages where we still have availability. We are able to transfer some or all of your voyage fare to a new booking, and in addition, will provide you an additional credit of 15% of the fare paid for voyage V224 in recognition of this late change to your travel plans. Alternatively, you may wish to receive a full refund of the cost of your fare, and we will set up a credit of 15% of the fare paid for you to enjoy at a later date. We calculate the value of your credit to be £XXX per person. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Please contact your travel agent by19 September 2012 to confirm that you have received this message and wish to either transfer monies paid to a new booking, utilising the future voyage credit we have offered, or to be refunded your fare in full via your agent. We will consider the refund of reasonable expenses that you have incurred as a result of this cancellation. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Once again please accept my apology for having to make such a late cancellation to your voyage as well as the disruption and upset this no doubt will have caused. Please also be assured that we have not taken the decision to cancel lightly, but it is very important that we undertake this essential maintenance at the earliest opportunity. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I very much hope that you may choose to travel with us on Queen Victoria or another Cunard ship in the future.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Have you been affected by the propulsion system on board affecting your cruise? Or are you affected by this cancellation? Please leave a comment or contact me by email or twitter with any comments, observations and thoughts!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The Queen Mary 2 will celebrate 10 years in service and undertake her 8th world cruise / voyage season in 2014. And I am excited that I will be on the ship for a fairly sizeable 38 nights segment of it.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The ship was christened by Queen Elizabeth II on 8 January 2004, and the maiden voyage left Southampton in a flurry of fireworks on 12 January bound for Fort Lauderdale. The maiden voyage lasted 2 weeks, and the ship called at Madeira, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Barbados, St Thomas and finally arrived at Fort Lauderdale in Florida.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The Queen Mary 2's first World Voyage was in 2006 when the ship departed on 10 January for a circumnavigation of South America. This first world voyage was a rocky debut as the ship damaged a pod propeller while leaving Fort Lauderdale. This meant that Commodore Warwick, who was captaining the ship, had to cancel some ports of call as the ship had to travel at reduced speed. This created much upset and reports of unhappy passengers. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>On 10 January 2014 the QM2 will leave Southampton for a 119 night world voyage that will take her down round the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, across the Indian Ocean to Perth Australia. She will then circumnavigate Australia before sailing through Asia and the Suez Canal back to Southampton.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I am booked to join the Queen Mary 2 for 38 nights of this 2014 adventure. I will be joining the ship in Sydney after the circumnavigation on Australia, and I will stay on the ship through to Dubai. Dubai being, of course, where the Queen Elizabeth 2 is now based. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>By the time I get to Dubai in April 2014, the Queen Elizabeth 2 should have been converted into the luxury floating hotel that was originally planned when the ship was sold to Dubai. You can read more about the latest plans for the QE2 in my posting: “<a href="http://www.allaboutcunard.com/2012/07/finally-plans-to-turn-qe2-into-luxury.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Finally, Plans To Turn the QE2 Into A Luxury Floating Hotel Will Happen</a>”. If it has been converted, and is operating as a hotel by April 2014, I will make sure I spend at least one night there to revisit this iconic ship. I am intrigued to see what the ship will be like post having been converted.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I have booked a Queens Grill Q5 suite number 10058. The bulk of the Q5 suites are on on deck 9, and the balconies are just above the top of the lifeboats. Although they do not restrict your view, I think being on deck 10 is just a bit better as you have a broader and wider view.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The trip is a major cost, but for me (and I assume most people who go on world cruises or major segments) is part of checking off a want list of travel things that I want to do. I look forward to documenting the build up, the trip, destinations and formulating tips and advice for future travellers.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Luckily though I still have another major Cunard adventure to look forward to. At the end of this year I will be on the Queen Mary 2 for 21 nights. This is a crossing on 15 December from Southampton to New York, followed immediately by a cruise down to the Caribbean. I will be spending both Christmas and New Year on board. Returning to New York on 3 January.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I am hoping the crossing is less rocky and turbulent than the one we did on the Queen Elizabeth in December 2004.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cunard is always trying new things to add interest and variety to their Queen Mary 2 Crossings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There always are lecturers on-board as part of the Insights Program. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many of the speakers are famous celebrities like </span><a href="http://www.allaboutcunard.com/2012/07/sir-david-frost-broadcasting-legend-and.html#.UD-aXEKz7dk" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sir David Frost who was on the 27 July 2012</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Crossing.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They have now announced something a bit different. On the 20 November 2012 Crossing they will focus on the famous actress Greta Garbo.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The partnership is between Julien’s Auctions, who specialise in celebrity memorabilia, and Cunard. They are promising a unique experience which will allow passengers on the Crossing to:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">View and purchase rare items that belonged to Greta Garbo.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hear from Garbo's great nephew, Derek Reisfield talking about her life and career in Hollywood. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who was Greta Garbo?</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cunard describes her as follows: Hailed as Hollywood's "First Modern Woman," Garbo's timeless appeal spans the eras of both silent and talking films. Regarded for her striking beauty and style, the four-time Academy Award(r) nominee is best known for her classic roles in "Anna Karenina," "The Temptress," "The Kiss" and "Grand Hotel." </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>What will the Queen Mary 2 Great Garbo display and auction be?</b><br />
<br />
It will be a preview of Julien's Auction of Garbo belongings that will take place in December 2012 in Beverly Hills. It will include:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Garbo’s iconic cashmere turtleneck and vintage umbrella, used to shield herself from paparazzi. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Relics from Garbo's world travels, including her vintage Louis Vuitton suitcase, travel watch and luggage tag<br />
</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What will her great nephew Derek Reisfield talk about?</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He will give his personal recollections and stories from the actress' life, gained while he was part of weekly get togethers with her. He will cover things like: career highlights, her relationships with people like President John F. Kennedy, Sir Winston Churchill and William Randolph Hearst, and even cover her involvement with USA and UK military intelligence in World War II. <br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Peter Shanks, President of Cunard, said of the event on the Queen Mary 2:<br />
"We are pleased to partner with Julien's Auctions who, along with the Garbo Family, are graciously providing our guests exclusive access to some of Garbo's prized possessions. A highlight of any Cunard voyage is our Insights programme, and we are delighted to offer such a personal account of Garbo's legacy to Hollywood and to the rest of the world." <br />
<br />
Darren Julien, President & CEO of Julien’s Auctions, said of the event: “As Garbo was one of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood history, and Cunard has such a storied tradition of sailing Hollywood luminaries, it is an honour to work with both the Garbo Family and Cunard on this very special collection of notable pieces dating back to both the silent and talking film eras”. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we visited the beautiful town of <a href="http://www.tipsfortravellers.com/2012/07/cruising-norwegian-fjords-skjolden.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Skjolden deep inside the Norway Fjords</a> last month, there were a few interesting things showing this tiny town of just 250 inhabitants is looking to get more cruise ships visiting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not only is Skjolden a staggering 130 miles inland, it also only build a permanent dock area for cruise ships in 2010. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we visited they were putting the finishing touches to a new and very interesting innovation called the Seawalk. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Seawalk is a floating and motorised pier that could be extended and moved around to allow ships to dock.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This pier and walkway is called the "Seawalk" and was tested by Cunard and Queen Elizabeth ship since to great success. SeaWalk was designed by a Norwegian company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This clever walkway means that the ship can dock very close to the main part of the village. The SeaWalk is manoeuvred into position and passengers can then walk into town. The pier can be withdrawn back to the shore if desired. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is seen as a major innovation for ports with limited space to build a full pier, or the resources and costs of full built piers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seatrade Insider (link below) reports that: "<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 20px;">The technology was invented by Asbjørn Nes, a partner in SeaWalk along with Ole Heggheim and Arthur Kordt, md of European Cruise Service and a shareholder in Cruise Norway. The naval architect is Kai Levander, whose work includes Oasis of the Seas, and engineering design was provided by Turku-based Elomatic. The fabricator is LMI, a firm located near Skjolden."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Much to Simon Cowell's delight, a Dog Show won his Britain's Got Talent show in 2012. Ashleigh and her dog Pudsey were a big hit on the show, with their clever and funny dance routines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The two of them travelled on the Queen Mary 2 to and from the USA for a month long tour. While on board they also entertained the passengers in a series of shows. This video explains more, especially for non UK blog readers who had probably never heard of Ashleigh and Pudsey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You do not have to be a famous dog to go on the Queen Mary 2 as they have kennels at the top of the ship, and often there are canine passengers on a Crossing. Worth heading up there if you are on a Crossing if you are a dog fan. You may bump into a famous dog owner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dogs usually need to stay up on the kennel area, being exercised up there. Though I believe that Pudsey may have made it to the stateroom...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The full routes that each of the 3 Cunard Queens will be travelling on their 2014 World Cruises are now formally released by Cunard. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Only the <b><u>Queen Elizabeth</u></b> is doing a more traditional world cruise that will see the ship travel from Southampton to the USA, through the Panama Canal and across to Australia and then back to Southampton via Asia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <b><u>Queen Mary 2</u></b> will focus more on the Australian region, travelling down to the region via Cape Town. It will travel right round Australia before heading back to Sydney and sailing back to Southampton via Asia and the Suez Canal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, <b><u>Queen Victoria</u></b> will journey to South America from Southampton via the USA and then round the Cape Horn and across to New Zealand and Australia. It will return to Southampton via Hawaii and the Panama Canal.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>People can register interest and also order a brochure</b> via their website at <a href="http://www.cunard.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.cunard.com</a> that they say will be with people before the World Cruises and World Voyage segments go on sale on 5 September.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fares are not yet announced, and travel agents waiting confirmation formally. But brochures are starting to be issued and so full details will be clearer over next few days.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>For the first time, <a href="http://www.allaboutcunard.com/2012/07/cunard-launch-vantage-fares-if-prices.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cunard have the Vantage Fares promotion</a> linked to these voyages</b>. This means they guarantee that if the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">price falls you will get benefits on kind like on board credit or upgrade. They also are offering various incentives like hotel nights from 1 to 3 nights based on how long your cruise is.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a vested interest, as I will be booking on a segment. At this stage most likely either the QM2 or Queen Elizabeth from Sydney to Dubai. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
