DISEMBARKATION OF PASSENGERS AT CHERBOURG
It is absolutely essential that before leaving New York passengers are made familiar with the method of handling baggage at Cherbourg. The most important is the question of hand-baggage which has not been registered for Paris or other Continental destinations.
We would draw your attention to the following points which we consider the most important :
- Hand-baggage is carried from the steamer to the tender by the stewards. Passengers should be previously informed that from the time their hand-baggage is on the tender, they are solely responsible for it, and they must see that it is passed through the Customs and placed on the special train in their carriage.
- All hand-baggage not claimed on the tender or left in the Customs is collected and included with registered baggage for Paris. For these packages there is a charge of Fcs. 20.00 per package, Cherbourg—Paris, which the Company is obliged to pay to the State Railway Co. for all packages not registered direct from New York to Paris.
- It should be clearly pointed out to passengers that the Cunard Company cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage caused by neglect on the part of passengers not claiming their hand-baggage on the tender.
- All baggage registered in New York for Cherbourg only if not claimed at the port, is forwarded direct to Paris, a charge of Fcs. 20.00 per package being made irrespective of size or weight. (Heavy nailed case or bulky packages will be charged as freight).
TICKETS.—All passengers without rail tickets can obtain them from the Company’s Office in the waiting room, at Cherbourg, which they pass through after clearing through Customs.
SPECIAL TRAINS.—Special trains are run in connection with the arrival of steamers. Dining cars are attached to these trains, luncheons and dinners are served at Fcs. 12.00 per head, exclusive of wines.
RESERVED SEATS.—Upon presentation of first class rail tickets at Cherbourg, seats can be reserved on the special trains. Passengers wishing to reserve first class seats in advance should telegraph “Cunard.” Cherbourg, mentioning the number of places required. Telegrams of this description should reach Cherbourg, at latest, the day before the steamer arrives. There is no charge made for these reservations.
