Best way to save on Cunard Queen Mary 2 | Balcony Cabin 8021 | Full Tour

[@davidh9844]

Cunard had a nice sale recently, we are booked oceanview, Southhampton to New York in March. All the fares were reasonable (except the suites, of course), and OV was minimally more than inside. I really didn't want a balcony, obstructed or otherwise, on the North Atlantic in March, so it was a no brainer. Fingers are crossed that I'm going to like Cunard, perhaps a balcony is in the offing for Spring or Summer sailings. Very nice tour, thank you.

I did a double Transatlantic this Oct - in a sheltered balcony and it was PERFECT. NO, it wasn't terribly warm, but it was quite nice to venture out onto the balcony!!! Plus, the view is spectacular!!! xx ENJOY xx You'll have a marvelous time!!!

Nice cabin tour. So how do you "save"? Should your video have been titled "Cunard Queen Mary 2 Balcony Cabin Tour"?

As I understand it, Cunard does not allow ‘powerbanks’ on board as these would overload the ship’s electrical circuits…

@ …well, if you read the fine print, you’ll discover these sorts of devices, if used, can shut down the ship’s electrical system. Cunard should have confiscated that from you. Imagine shutting down a whole ship of 3000 people because somebody brings something electrical on board that shouldn’t be used on the ship. Sure wouldn’t want that to be me! Good luck to you if that’s your bag, but it’s a definite no-no and Cunard definitely does not allow it. I was very surprised when you mentioned it as they’re normally very strict on that policy.

@ A simple error doesn’t mean an intent. Glad all went fine.

I used one without issue although I adopted the practice of disconnecting it when out of the room. Newer ships switch of all wall sockets when the key card is withdrawn from its holder. Maybe you are confused; I have learnt from past comments that it is only those power banks incorporating surge protectors are not welcome.
