[21:34:24] @ AmbianceTraveler : let us know if you need any help with the CWC

[21:34:43] Sjoerd : yes Nina, was wondering how many people coud go aboard a Cunard .. haven't been on a Cunard before or any cruise for that matter .. so it's all new to me

[21:34:43] Nick Needs To Know : Nina, a question

[21:34:54] Nick Needs To Know : ooppps sorry sjoerd

[21:34:56] @ AmbianceTraveler : Hold on nick..

Subject: Re: Chat Transcript 6/9pm Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:03 am

[21:35:07] Sjoerd : that's ok nick

[21:35:14] @ AmbianceTraveler : 2592 people on QM2

[21:35:20] @ AmbianceTraveler : 1778 on QE2

[21:35:28] @ AmbianceTraveler : about 2000 on QV

[21:35:43] FormerlySanFranBayCruiser : but the big difference is the ship size

[21:35:51] @ AmbianceTraveler : the space to guest to space ratios are great though!

[21:36:05] Sjoerd : ok Nina .. thanks and how's the safety on those ships? meaning how's that taken care of?

[21:36:13] CunardRep : The same size ship operated by another line would hold a lot more guests!

[21:37:04] CunardRep : These ships are registered in Great Britain and have to meet safety guidelines among the toughest in the world

[21:37:31] @ AmbianceTraveler : Not to mention, they are built stronger then most ships

[21:37:41] CunardRep : As you know, the British have been sailing the seas longer and farther than most nations.

[21:38:10] CunardRep : Ship's registry is an important clue as to the standards imposed

[21:38:21] Down The Shore Guy : Are you asking because of terrorist concerns Sjoerd? If so, it's actually a good question

[21:38:43] CunardRep : Of course, the U.S. also over sees safety issues

[21:38:55] Sjoerd : Randi, once the ship is being used, for how long will they be able to sail safely before something could possibly happen?

[21:39:01] CunardRep : A number of steps were taken after 9/11

[21:39:20] Sjoerd : right, that's understandable

[21:39:40] CunardRep : that are basically confidential

[21:39:57] Sjoerd : are those ships getting checked out before every trip or how does that go?

Subject: Re: Chat Transcript 6/9pm Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:03 am

[21:40:11] CunardRep : just know that no one could swim up to one of these ships and lay a hand on it - without it being know immediately

[21:40:21] Sjoerd : ah ok randi

[21:40:24] CunardRep : known immediately

[21:40:41] CunardRep : And ships actually have quite a long

[21:40:59] CunardRep : life because they are constantly repairs and maintained,

[21:41:29] CunardRep : however, most ships will service the U.S. public for only about 20 years before they are sold to another company.

[21:41:30] Nick Needs To Know : Is QM2 scheduled for dry dock anytime soon?

[21:41:42] Sjoerd : Thank you randi

[21:41:58] CunardRep : It would take too longer to check on that

[21:42:07] CunardRep : however, I'll get the info to Nina

[21:42:12] CunardRep : to pass along

[21:42:35] Nick Needs To Know : Nina, about the group cruises

[21:42:37] CunardRep : But the schedules are frequent for dry dock and wet docks.

[21:42:41] @ AmbianceTraveler : yes?

[21:42:45] Nick Needs To Know : do we know if we'll get amenities points?

[21:43:09] @ AmbianceTraveler : Based on this year, it looks very positive

Subject: Re: Chat Transcript 6/9pm Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:03 am

[21:43:36] Nick Needs To Know :

[21:43:43] @ AmbianceTraveler : they were actually very generous this year

[21:43:55] @ AmbianceTraveler : lets hope is stays that way for 09

[21:44:01] FormerlySanFranBayCruiser : how so nina?

[21:44:31] @ AmbianceTraveler : as in number of points awarded to the typical group

[21:44:49] FormerlySanFranBayCruiser : right but i'm asking like $100 onboard vs $50?

[21:45:19] CunardRep : no way to tell until the program is released

[21:45:42] CunardRep : hopefully, it will likely be out by the end of March

[21:45:48] @ AmbianceTraveler : Based on this year..

[21:46:07] @ AmbianceTraveler : there were enough points usually being awarded to upgrade the OBC

[21:46:26] Nick Needs To Know : sounds good!

[21:46:45] @ AmbianceTraveler : However, at this point...all speculation

[21:46:48] FormerlySanFranBayCruiser : sorry, have to excuse myself
