Lovely news, so glad to hear about the job. 7 weeks will seem like a doddle compared to 5 weeks last time! All the best for the move.

Re: QM2 booked....again!
Well plans have changed AGAIN!!
My husband just got offered an AMAZING job in London and will start March 8th! So instead of a leisurely sail over the Atlantic we're going to say some prayers and fly back with the dogs first week of March!!!
So 7 weeks and counting........yikes!!! Done it before. Can do it again. This time no house to sell and most of our stuff is still in boxes from when we arrived this time last year! We never unpacked!! HAHAHA!!!

I think the only things missing compared to a 'regular' holiday would be buildings and driving around - I guess if you need those for a good holiday, then yes, it wouldn't be for you.

Re: QM2 booked....again!
We came to the US with our dog on the QM2 in 2012 - we were so busy on the ship, no time for boredom! There's usually a couple of speakers and on our cruise RADA were there so gave some great Shakespeare performances and a few classes. Lots of fun, plenty to see or do (I'd never been to a Planetarium before, lest one on a ship!) and so much food in the Grills. The ship is about a third of a mile long so you can walk / run for exercise. The view from the top was magnificent. I forgot about the Golden Lion, last "proper" fish and chips!
I love that our dog had so much fun. Plenty of playtime on the pet deck, visits from the Captain and a Kennel Master that looks after the dogs and cats throughout the voyage. Great to here everyone's stories about why they were bringing their pet and their histories. Still in touch with most on Facebook.

Thanks so much everyone! All very exciting. Strange sense of deja vu! HAHAHA!! Oh well. Deep breaths and all that.
Need to call QM2 this week to cancel booking. My deposit is refundable until April I think so not an issue

Hate flying and dealing with airports etc. Definitely taking QM2 when I go. Plus it helps with the time zone adjustment.

Re: QM2 booked....again!
Hi,
Have been reading your thread and congratulations with the move!
We decided to sell our home and head to England for a visit but we want to sail also.
They quoted me $3000 for our dog to fly which is crazy.
We have been looking at doing the QM2 with our dog but i guess as others have said sell out quick.
We were hoping to go in April 2015.....maybe he will have to fly
Hope things go well

As far as I know the QM2 kennels are completely booked for this year but seeing as you only have one dog you should keep calling the kennel department just in case they get a last minute cancellation. That's how I managed to sail with 4 dogs last time!

Re: QM2 booked....again!
Good idea Britwhore (and good luck with the move back!). That's what we did and ended up changing our crossing from April to May when Cunard called us to let us know there had been a cancellation for the kennels. They were great.
