Message: [QUOTE="Brian Ahern, post: 265777, member: 136735"] One thing I've wondered about is how switching bookings from one ship to another worked, especially since people seem to have often switched from one line to another. There was the couple whose name I forget who reportedly booked one of the the mega-suites before switching to the Mauretania. The Harts were, according to Eva Hart, switched from the Philadelphia.In 1915, there were the people who switched from the Lusitania to the New York because of the submarine warnings. I can see how switching from one IMM line to another would gain you a rebate, but Cunard of course wasn't part of IMM. In terms of selecting liners, my impression is that some people put more thought into it than others. I wonder if, here again, you could go into a White Star Line office and come out with a ticket for a ship belonging to another IMM line. I think I personally would have wanted to mix it up as much as possible if I'd lived in the days of ocean travel[ATTACH=full]30124[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
