Traveling alone and want to take my dog with me.

I have heard of cruises that allow you to take pets along. Since I may be traveling alone, I was interested in hearing any information about cruises that allow pets. I have a German Shepherd and would need to exercise him on board. Thank you for any help you can offer!!

Interested in the answer; I'm thinking of moving to France and I have a cat and she can't fly. I know the QE@ has kennels but I can't even step foot in the U.S. without subjecting her to six months quarantine. Anybody know anything? Help!

I don't believe any of the major cruise lines allow dogs on board, except for seeing-eye dogs. As you mentioned, the QE2 does have kennels and they do allow dogs, although they can only be walked during certain hours and in specified areas. I have been on cruises where tiny little dogs (the kind that fit into a handbag) have been smuggled on board and are kept in the passenger's cabin. But, clearly a German shepherd isn't in that category!

Please keep your dog (and its smelly poop) off of my cruise. Thanks.

Agreed! We love our pet, but he goes to a lovely kennel on land...that is the last thing we need are pets on a cruise ship. Also, they should not allow them in the cabin on airplanes, as many people like myself are allergic to cats! <BR>Sorry, but find a person to travel with and leave the german shepherd at home!

obviously, none of you own a dog. It's sad that you have not yet had the priviledge.

Actually, I do own a dog. He is exceptionally friendly, well-trained and well-behaved. And I never, ever take my dog to inappropriate places because that would be thoughtless, selfish, inconsiderate and just plain rude.

Hey Heather, <BR> <BR>Taking your dog is a great idea. I'd take my dog and cat over kids anytime. <BR>Kids belong at home not on a ship!!
