<p>[quote user="Paul Milenkovic"]</p> <p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>Well, that's <em>almost</em> true. You can sail across the pond on the Queen Mary 2 about once a month. It takes a week (twice as long as the typical crossing 50 years ago). The cost for the cheapest inside cabin is surprisingly in line with coach airfare. But, nobody is subsidizing the operation of the ship. [/quote]</p> <p>Next to the engine room and well below the waterline? Sign me up! Do they have a "deal" where you can go one way on the QM-2 and return on a proper jet? I recall there was a deal to ride Concorde one way and then return (First class) on a jumbo jet. I am willing to try anything once. [/quote]</p> <p>Many of the cruise lines, e.g. Royal Caribbean, Princess, etc., move a ship from American waters , e.g. the U.S. Gulf coast to European or Asian ports for the summer months. Since the ships are being moved irrespective of any bookings, they frequently offer some very low one-way fares to the seasonal home port relocation. </p>
