Linking bookings question!

Hi everyone! Another question. For our 2027 QA cruise, we are two couples travelling in two staterooms. Despite making a single booking (via a third party site), from a Cunard point of view, we have two bookings, with two different reference numbers, one for each stateroom. I think (from CruiseCritic and Reddit discussions) there are advantages to “linking” the bookings (for example being easily able to make SD reservations or book excursions for the whole group in one place rather than having to log in to two separate accounts and hoping we can get matching bookings) - plus maybe for things like getting a 4 top in the MDR (we are on anytime dining). So, two part question - is this right, ie is there an advantage to linking the bookings (and any other pros I’ve missed) and secondly, can one do this online via MyCunard (I can’t see it) or do I have to make the dreaded phone call?

Cunard drinks package sales…

Hi everyone. I’m sailing Celebrity soon and have cancelled and rebooked my drink package several times online when it’s been on sale, to get a better price (saved over £150 per person so far!). My next cruise is QA. Last time I sailed Cunard, I didn’t have a drinks package but now I prefer to sail with one. So - my two part question - do Cunard ever have sales on their drinks packages (specifically the deluxe/premium non-alcoholic one) and, if they do, can it easily be cancelled via MyCunard/online and rebooked (am aware there is no easy app like other lines and the website is pretty clunky!).

Drinks package sale!

Hi everyone. UK based and sailing Ascent at the end of the month. Just thought I’d let you know that the drinks package I have booked (Premium non-alcoholic with WiFi) is on sale in the app today at the cheapest I’ve seen it (£ price not % discount!!). I know different people get different offers so YMMV, but thought you should all know so you can check! I cancelled and rebooked and for me today is about £31 pppd today, saving almost £200 from my previous booking (total, for all three people) and a whopping £500 cheaper than when I first booked (this is the second time I have cancelled and rebooked to get a better price!). Assume this might be a July 4th sale so might not be around for long! I don’t drink alcohol but the premium drinks and WiFi package also seems a good deal at £55 pppd too!

Solarium on Ascent

Hi everyone! Finding little or conflicting information online. Can someone who's been on board recently (preferably Ascent but assume rules are the same across the fleet) confirm that the adult only soalrium is 16+ rather than 18+. Travelling with my 16 year-old and would like to take advantage of this space if we're allowed.

Queen Anne changes

Hi everyone! I sailed QA in her inaugural season (and loved her) and have booked a voyage for early 2027. For those who have cruised her multiple times, have you noticed any changes from when she first launched, or are things pretty much the same? For example, I’m sure I read that the shows in The Bright Lights Society are now charged for. Anything I should know about or any tips to share?
