The husband and I are leaving the UK on 20 September 2016 on the QM2 as this was the easiest way for us to travel with him being in a wheelchair. We are also taking our 2 dogs with us and had planned to take the 2 cats also but decided that the road trip from New York to Idaho would be a bit much for them so have re-homed them here in the UK. The kennels on the QM2 are $800.00 USD for upper kennel and $1,000.00 for lower kennel per animal. Our total fare came to $4997.20 for us and the dogs. We have had this trip booked for a year now and they do fill up fast. I know that is a lot of money but for the peace of mind knowing that the dogs will be taken care of was the clincher for us.

I'll probably end up doing that, but the cost per "upper" and "lower" kennel annoys me. If I can't just buy one, charge me for what it's actually going to cost, don't split it up to try and confuse me.

I was just having a look and saw major discrimination between dogs and cats.;) Cats are double because they have to have their litter tray in a separate kennel. :(

How bloody small is the kennel onboard a ship?
