Ooopsss, sorry Nina - don't know how I missed the cabins poll. Two Category AA, one single occupancy for myself and one double occupancy for my parents.

Right, you bennie from Spring Lake!!

LMAO Touche!

One Category A, midship. Late sitting please And, Tina, you're from SEA GIRT?!?!? We had a weekend house in Sea Girt!!! We were on Beacon. Small World!

And Nick, where in Spring Lake??

Can't wait to chat with you both!!

This is turning out to be a sizeable group - by Cunard standards. Nina, can you fill us in regarding minimum requirements, I know most cruise lines it's usually 8 cabins, 16 passengers to qualify as a group, any difference with Cunard. And, also is there such as thing as a maximum?

Thanks!

Eddie

Eddie,

With Cunard it depends on the sailing. Some of the less popular dates and World Cruises you only need 5 cabins/10 passengers to qualify as a group. The most popular sailings, like Christmas, takes 8 cabins/16 passengers to qualify as a group. However, even if the group dips below that number the pricing and amenities are still guaranteed. There really are no maximum number of cabins a group can hold unless you start to get really large (over 1/4 of the capacity of the ship) in which case you need management approval. (That's when it's nice to have a direct line to the management )

Nina, you never know - the way this group is growing you might just need that management approval! Now how cool would that be?

That would be 764 people or 382 cabins of the ship's maximum capacity or 648 people/324 cabins of the lower berth capacity. That is a very large group! But, considering the size of the group now and the growth potential for the boards I can see it in the future! Especially, if this becomes a yearly group that people just start planning on.

I'm so sorry but the AA category is double occupancy only However, there are several connecting cabins in AA.

The quad categories include Q5 and most oceanview & inside categories.

Are you traveling with children? There are insides across the hall from the AA's. Dining might be a problem unless you were not planning on bringing them to the Britannia Club anyway. Otherwise, you may be able to get a waiver to allow the children to join you. Regardless, we can work something out.

Nina our "kids" are 22 and 23! I guess we'll have to see if it's more economical to get two insides or a quad Princess or Queens grill. I have a feeling the vote will be for two insides, 3 woman and 1 man = no time in the bathroom for me

Alex, the nice thing about having 2 insides would be the 2 bathrooms! You could also look at a balcony/inside combo since your "kids" are old enough to be on their own, they could just be across the hall. You would still have 2 bathrooms and the balcony

Actually the layout of the ship has a corridor hiding the singles from the balcony cabins. Therefore in most cases when you leave an AA cabin you are completely unaware of the insides - until you pass the end of the corridor, which does turn to the main ship-long corridor.

How do you suppose that a waiver would be granted? I'd for one be most angry if I found that I'd paid the extra for AA and that there were "normal" Britannia passengers freeloading - especially as the area is not large.
