FAQs

expand_more
What can I expect when I join the ship?

Your Cunard experience starts the moment you arrive at your embarkation port, with porters waiting to collect your luggage before you head off to check in.

After check in you will board one of our magnificent ocean liners to be greeted by members of the ship’s company and experience the stunning view of the Grand Lobby before you.

You’ll then be shown to your luxurious stateroom where you can freshen up and meet your stateroom steward. They are there to ensure every detail of your stay on board is taken care of.

Once you’ve unpacked you’re free to explore the ship. Of course, if you’re a guest in one of our Queens Grill suites, your butler will be unpacking for you.

After a relaxed lunch you can head off to further explore the ship or return to your stateroom to unwind before sail away.

After a short safety drill, make your way up on deck to enjoy a glass of Champagne as your voyage to exciting destinations begins.

Is there a drying line in the bathroom of my cabin?

There is a retractable drying line in the shower of each cabin.
