Transatlantic Crossing Eastbound: New York to Southampton

Signature Packages must be purchased at time of booking and cannot be added later. All guests 18+ in the same stateroom must purchase the same package level.

A 15% service charge is automatically added to every beverage purchase made in bars or restaurants. This applies even if you purchase a Signature Package — the package price includes service charges, but a la carte drinks do not.

If you do not adjust the daily service charge while onboard, the payment becomes final and non-refundable. Two passengers in Britannia for a 7-night transatlantic pay ~$238 in gratuities.

As of June 2025, Cunard removed complimentary room service after 10 AM for Britannia cabin guests. Only Princess Grill and Queens Grill suites still receive full complimentary room service.

A 15% service charge is added to all specialty dining bills. A $25 corkage fee applies if you bring your own wine to any restaurant or bar.

Cunard removed complimentary room service after 10 AM for Britannia cabin guests in June 2025. Only breakfast before 10 AM and Grill Suite guests are unaffected.

Cunard enforces a formal dress code on designated Gala evenings. If you don't dress formally, you're restricted to the buffet, some bars, and the casino — main restaurants and many public areas are off-limits.

Cunard's Queen Mary 2 is the only major cruise ship with onboard kennels for dogs and cats, available on Transatlantic crossings only. Kennel prices start at $1,300-$1,500 per voyage and book up quickly.

Cunard Signature Packages (drinks, WiFi, excursion credit) can only be added at time of booking and cannot be purchased later. All adults in the stateroom must buy the same package.

Government-imposed taxes and fees are subject to change, and Cunard reserves the right to collect increases even if the fare has been paid in full.
