Here’s a strange cruise item for you. If booked on the Queen Mary 2, passengers can take their dogs on a cruise. They no longer have to be only (or disguised as!!!) service dogs.
As people who always took our (late) dog on vacation and who right now are dog-sitting (his name is Max) for friends, this borders on being exciting news. Doggy daycare on a cruise ship. We can hardly wait to tell our kids, who have all invested heavily in doggy daycare on land.
Cunard, alas, has some limitations.
It only applies when the Queen Mary sails from Southampton to New York. On the ship, dog owners are encouraged to visit their dogs as often as they’d like. There is access to the kennel, and the walking areas, indoor and out.
There’s only one problem. Dogs are not allowed in the staterooms. Every dog lover knows that dogs not only go where you go, but they sleep where you sleep.
Just ask Max.
