Pets Cruise with You on the Queen Mary 2

Now going on a luxury cruise doesn't mean getting sad puppy eyes as you book a boarding house for your favorite pet -- the Atlantic cruise liner Queen Mary 2 gives you the option of bringing them along! The amenities of their "Pets on Deck" program include fresh-baked biscuits at turn-down, a variety of bedding and blanket options, and even a little coat with the QM2 logo. All pet guests also receive a complimentary gift pack with a mix of essentials and fun stuff, such as a food dish with scoop, a name tag, a frisbee, and a complimentary portrait with their owners.

As a dog owner I think it's great when vacations are pet-friendly, but in this case I can't help but wonder: do people's pets ever get seasick? That would not be pleasant!

I dont think pets can get seasick on a boat such as the Queen Mary 2. This thing is more stable than a mountain !

I LOVE this idea... and oh, how I long to take a cruise (SEE: dd - I know you're reading this).

We took our 4 lb. chihuahua on a chartered yacht last summer. I believe it was 175 feet. Pretty sure I was more seasick than he was. Can you say hurricane winds at the Cape? We thoughtfully purchased a teensy lifevest (size xs). Poor guy. Vet said we could give him an extremely small dose of Dramamine.
