Cunard Expects the Maiden Voyage of Queen Elizabeth to sell out within the hour.

I fully expect Cunard's predictions to be correct and Queen Elizabeth's maiden voyage to sell out very quickly.

One thing to watch out for though is the pricing structure. Cunard will no doubt start to operate a fluid pricing as the cabins start to sell, something which the majority of cruise lines do.

However I cannot help feeling that the maiden voyage, especially for a Queen should be priced accordingly and sold as priced. It is a safe bet that every Cunard liner's maiden voyage will sell out, history tells us that and this year will be no different.

Aside from my point on pricing a maiden voyage, she is sure to be a great hit with past Cunard clients and also new Cunarders. You only have to look at the success of Queen Victoria. She is receiving rave reviews and inside she looks every inch a Cunard liner.

So, please make sure you get your registrations in to my team by 12noon if you have still not made a decision. But I have to say that there will no doubt be some disappointed people - these may well turn out to be guests looking for Grill accommodation.

My advice to anyone looking to book a maiden voyage is BE FLEXIBLE with your choice of accommodation and give a maximum price you are prepared to pay. If you want to be on the voyage - that's what you have to do..!!
