- Breakfast: from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.
- Luncheon: from 1:00 to 2;30p.m.
- Dinner: from 7:00 p.m.
Restaurant Service—The Company especially desires to bring to the notice of its Patrons this Restaurant Service, and recommends that full advantage be taken of the wide selection offered.
Bars will not be open later than midnight, but it is within the discretion of the Commander to close them during the voyage at any time, should he consider this course desirable.
Seats at Table—Application may be made in advance at any principal Cunard Office, or, on day of sailing, to the Second Steward on board the steamer.
Divine Service on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Requisites are provided for the celebration of Mass.
Deck Chairs and Rugs may be hired at a cost of $1.50 each, from the Deck Steward. Each rug is contained in a sealed cardboard box, and bears a serial number worked into the material so that passengers will have no difficulty in identifying their rugs. At the end of each voyage, the rugs which have been in use are sent to the store and thoroughly cleaned, before being reissued.
The Surgeon is authorized to make customary charges for his services, subject to the approval of the Commander.
Libraries—In addition to a library of Standard Works, a special selection of up-to-date literature is available.
Cunarder Magazine—The Company publishes at New York a monthly magazine devoted to travel and known as 'The Cunarder." Copies may be obtained from the Library Steward. Annual subscription, one dollar. Subscriptions should be addressed to the Company's office, 25 Broadway, New York.
Berth Ladders may be obtained from the Stateroom Steward or Stewardess.
Port Holes—Passengers should request their Bedroom Stewards to open and close the port holes in the staterooms, as required. It is dangerous for passengers to handle these themselves.
Berthing of Passengers—No alterations can be made except officially through the Purser.
Valuables should be placed in charge of the Purser for deposit in his safe, and a receipt will be given on the company's form. As no charge is made for carriage the Company cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage, however arising. Passengers are cautioned against leaving money and valuables in staterooms and are advised to protect themselves by insurance.
Mail—Passengers may have Mail, Telegrams and Cables sent to them in the care of the Principal Cunard Offices.
Payments—Passengers should obtain a receipt from the Purser, on the Company's form, for any additional Passage Money, Rugs, Chairs, Excess Baggage, Freight, etc., paid on board.
Dogs—Passengers are notified that dogs cannot be landed in Great Britain unless a license has previously been procured from the Board of Agriculture, London. Forms of license must be obtained by direct application to the Department before the dog is taken on board. Dogs are carried at owner’s risk, rate being from £4 upwards, payable to the Purser.
"Drive Your Own Car in Europe”—Passengers' automobiles can be carried in Cunard ships at reasonable rates. The Company will handle all details, including crating, duties, customs, permits, plates, licenses, foreign club dues, maps, etc. A booklet giving all the particulars of this service may be obtained from the Purser or at any Cunard office.
Cunard Travelers’ Cheques are payable throughout the world and are honored by hotels, banks, and stores in payment of accounts. Owing to the system of signing and countersigning with the purchaser's signature, the checks, if lost, are valueless to whoever may find them. Neatly bound in a wallet in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100, they constitute, from the point of view of convenience and safety, an ideal method of carrying funds.
Tourist Department—A Department is maintained at the Cunard Company's Offices where accurate information and helpful assistance relative to travel throughout the world is at the disposal of patrons.
Cruises in season are offered to the West Indies, Pacific Coast, South America, etc.
Through Bookings to the Near East, India, Australasia, the Far East, South America and South Africa can be arranged for passengers travelling via the Cunard Line to England or the Continent, there connecting with steamers of other lines. Particulars and rates will be gladly quoted at any of the Company's offices.
Professional Gamblers—Passengers are informed that Professional Gamblers are reported as frequently crossing in Atlantic Steamers and are warned to take precautions accordingly.
Recovery of U. S. Head Tax—This Tax can be recovered by passengers, if same has been paid, provided they inform the U. S. Immigration Inspector on arrival at New York of their intention to leave the United States within 60 days (the time prescribed by U. S. Law), and obtain from him transit certificate, Form 514.
It is also necessary for transit certificate, Form 514, to be handed to the Transportation Company when completed, in time to allow same to be placed before the Immigration Authorities in Washington within 120 days of passenger’s arrival in the United States.
Unless this regulation is complied with, the Tax cannot be recovered.
Note:—Passengers who have not paid the Head Tax, in consequence of their holding return tickets or being in transit to points outside the United States, will kindly complete Form 514, which they will receive from the Immigration Officials at New York, and forward same to the Cunard Line, 25 Broadway, New York, as soon as possible after departure from the United States, or hand to the Purser of the steamer in which they return to the United Kingdom or Europe.
Special Information for Eastbound Passengers
Return Accommodation—For the convenience of those passengers who may be returning from Europe to the United States, and who have not yet made the necessary arrangements, the Purser will be pleased to radio the Company’s Head Office, Liverpool, for any accommodation required. This will enable passengers to complete their arrangements before leaving the steamer and will consequently save them time and trouble in Great Britain or on the Continent.
Baggage—The Cunard Company at New York will collect excess baggage charges for passengers who check their baggage through to London or Paris only at the following rates:
Steamer

Passengers are advised to insure their baggage, as the Company’s liability is strictly limited in accordance with contract ticket.
Cunard Baggage Insurance—A certificate of Cunard Insurance that will cover passengers’ baggage everywhere can be secured from any Cunard Office or responsible agent.
