Thank you. I'm sorry about your dishwasher incident. That is awful. I"ve dealt with the beeping demon like you have, but i almost shot my smoke detector. It was so frustrating. Glad all is going well with you (besides that). Gorgeous picture of the Aida boat. Thank you. Hope you got across the pond ok. Thanks again, David Hi John/Heidi:

I just finished the Cunard Academy training for Agents and here is the exact wording from the course with regards to Kennels: "Kennels on the Queen Mary 2: The Kennels on QM2 are a wonderful asset for clients on Transatlantic sailings. By using the kennels to transport their dog or cat, your clients can avoid difficulty of transporting pets by air, and in many cases the prices is less for transport on the QM2. Bringing a pet on a transatlantic requires planning months before the sailing, and space is limited in the kennels. The kennels are only available to book on Transatlantic sailings. Details about required vaccinations, veterinary certification and an implanted microchip are available by phone. Pricing and availability are limited...Only dogs and cats may travel in the kennels on QM2 and they may not leave the indoor or outdoor kennel area during their stay onboard.". Hope this helps!
