Carnival SHARP Pricing Policy AND TIPPING?
My wife and I have been married 55 years in 2027. To celebrate the anniversary we thought I would be nice to go on a Cunard cruise,In January 26 I booked a holiday on the Queen Mary 2 for three weeks M705.I booked through Bolsover Cruise Club The Price quoted was £7200, a lot of money, as it was our 55th anniversary and I will be 82 years old we decided to go for it. Bolsover gave us a discount of £100 taking the price to£7100. I had to pay a deposit of £1089.This was our first holiday with Cunard.
Just a few days later I was made aware that Cunard had dropped the price for the same grade cabin to £6300 with a £200 deposit. Whilst I was in the process of booking the holiday some person at Cunard was planning to reduce the price by hundreds of pounds.
I accept that prices do go up and some prices go lower.
On the 15 April 26 I looked at the prices again The price of the same grade cabin had been reduced to £5450 with a deposit of £100. From £7200 to £5450, Plus the very large deposit taken from me.
A large number of Cunard (carnival) passengers had booked before I booked in January so must have paid the higher price. Remember Cunard motto " BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE"?
As this is my first holiday with Cunard I was unaware of the tipping policy they have in place. After booking I was informed that I would be required to pay up to $40 a day in tips to behind the scenes staff.( $840 in tips for three weeks.) who rely on these tips because their wages are so low. So having taken an extra £1550+ £43 Cunard made in interest from my deposit ( compared to the April price) I am supposed to top up the wages of low paid staff employed by Cunard
Carnival CEO Josh WEINSTEIN recently proudly reported "An all time high financial results with a net income (profit) of $1.9billion for the third quarter of 2025. marking the strongest financial performance in its history"
I do wonder how much of Mr WEINSTEIN,S $1.9 BILLION net income for that quarter is down to paying his staff low wages(which are topped up by the passengers) and Cunard:s sharp? pricing policy.

Holiday of a lifetime
This was my first Cunard voyage & I can now see why people are so loyal to the line. We sailed on the Queen Elizabeth and she took my breath away. We were lucky to be in the Grills and this took the experience to a whole new level - literally with access to 2 more decks, a beautiful bar and exquisite dining. The thing that impressed me the most though was the crew. The customer service is outstanding. The crew work so hard but are always warm, friendly & accommodating. They really do make you feel like royalty. I can’t wait to book our next trip.

A magical cruise on the Queen Elizabeth
Our first voyage with Cunard aboard the Queen Elizabeth - a 12-day Eastern Caribbean cruise - was, quite simply, a magical experience from beginning to end.
From the moment we stepped on board, the ship itself made a striking impression. The décor is beautifully executed in a refined art deco and classical style, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance throughout. It feels far removed from the brashness sometimes associated with modern cruising.
The service was consistently excellent. Our stateroom steward, in particular, maintained the cabin to an impeccable standard, with twice-daily service that felt both attentive and unobtrusive. Small touches such as fresh towels morning and evening made a real difference.
The entertainment exceeded expectations. There was high-quality live music across the ship and the theatre performances were especially impressive - polished, engaging and genuinely enjoyable. Afternoon tea was a daily highlight: a wonderfully traditional and indulgent experience. The food overall was good, though the speciality coffees could certainly be improved. The tea, however, was excellent.
The complimentary breakfast in bed was a particular delight, with the scent of fresh coffee and pastries providing a perfect start to each day.
The itinerary was thoughtfully designed and offered a superb introduction to the Caribbean, with calls at San Juan, Antigua, St Lucia, Barbados, St Maarten and Tortola. The beaches in Antigua, Barbados and the British Virgin Islands were particular standouts.
On board facilities were very good. The gym is well equipped, and the Lido pool area is a pleasant and sociable space, especially during the lively sail-away parties at each departure. The Caribbean style BBQ was a highlight.
The library deserves special mention: it is a calm, elegant retreat with an excellent selection of books - ideal for a quiet morning or afternoon at sea.
The onboard photographers also produced some wonderful keepsakes from the voyage, although this service is somewhat pricy.
The spa, while very good in terms of quality, is priced at a level that feels excessive and we only used it once for that reason.
One of the most memorable aspects of the trip was the people. We met a delightful mix of fellow passengers, primarily from the UK, the US and across the Anglosphere, which contributed greatly to the convivial atmosphere on board.
As a gay couple in our 30s, we had wondered beforehand whether we might feel out of place on Queen Elizabeth, given its somewhat older demographic. In reality, this concern proved entirely unfounded. We were made to feel genuinely welcome by both staff and fellow guests, and the atmosphere was warm, inclusive and enjoyable throughout.
We had initially questioned whether 12 days might be too long for a first cruise; in fact, the opposite was true - we were genuinely sorry when it came to an end.
This was our first cruise, and it will certainly not be our last. Cunard has set a very high standard, and we would not hesitate to sail with them again.

Out of this world
Cunard's Queen Victoria is out of this world for ambience, comfort, staff and service. We felt they all wanted to ensure we had the best time. Nothing was too much. Food was wonderful. Hygiene practices were superb. Ship spotless. Decor superb. Activities plentiful and entertaining. Magnificent shows every night. Fabulous spa treatments. Watching the senior crew so professionally go about safety checks around the ship every day, made us feel we were in the best hands. There were three Masters with qualified captain status on the senior team, with decades of experience piloting ships all around the world in all types of weather. We learned that they take environmental issues very carefully and have an amazing recycling process onboard. This was our 4th cruise but first with Cunard. Talking to other seasoned cruisers, most of them never cruised with anyone else after going Cunard. This is exactly what we now feel and are already looking at Queen Mary Atlantic Crossing.

I love Cunard. It’s elegant beautiful and unique . Even in Britannia grade it’s really good. We like princess grills if just me and my husband which we love. ❤️ but just done Britannia with family for my daughter 50 Th birthday. 🎂 enjoyed the experience as much as but some cruises only want upgraded level. Please keep your standards up.

Cunard is my favourite cruise line
Cunard is my favourite cruise line. I am in my early 60’s and love the sense of occasion that you experience on their ships. I have been on all the Queens with the exception of Anne, which we will be experiencing in December. I like the fact that the passengers dress up and really enjoy the gala evenings. I appreciate that this wouldn’t be for everyone, but there are plenty of cruises where there is no necessity to dress up. I hope Cunard keep this tradition.

The star of the seas. Cunard
When travelling with Cunard, you are assured of two things: that you will be treated like a King/Queen and that you will become a part of a different world, where style and elegance reign supreme, and good manners and dressing up for dinner are de rigeur. The experience will stay with you forever, and you will be coming back again and again.

We cruise regularly with Cunard and the Ships, staff and food are wonderful. This year we saw Come from Away for the first time at sea; it was brilliant. Dressing up, enjoying life’s luxuries and mixing with interesting people are the man reasons we travel with Cunard.
