If you go to http://www.cruisecritic.com and then search for pets, you will be able to get some information. A lot of the results are because of the word carpet, so you may have to do some searching.

I believe that only Queen Mary 2 allows pets. So, that would give you some place to start and then you can work on from there. They have a kennel on board where you pets will stay and you are allowed to visit them a certain amount of time. The kennel isn't one of the best I've seen, but if you really want to take your dog, that gives you option.

As far as I know, there isn't a ship that allows you to have pets in your staterooms. Cruise lines are very strict when it comes to cleanliness, keeping up to code, avoiding illness, etc. So, even though most pets that are lucky enough to be pampered like this and go on vacations are likely to be cleaner than some humans, I think you will have a hard time finding a line that allows them in the room.

Cunard Lines does allow pets on the transatlantic sailings only as of right now. From New York to England and vice versa.

A good cruise agent should be able to give you more information. Speak to an agent that specializes in cruises.

NO !!!! .... I have been on about 15 cruises and never seen any type animal onship. I have seen people who are disabled in motorized chairs, wheel chairs and using walkers but never seen anyone blind on a ship. Definately no pets on ship.

I've never been on a cruise before, so I don't know about the different lines, but contact them and ask. Good luck!

If you can travel with a pet termantula you can travel with a dog.

Only service animals are allowed. I have been on 7 cruises and never saw a service animal on the ship. You may want to visit the web sites for all the cruise lines and it will give you the info you need.

Only service animals are allowed on a cruise ship. Even with the service animals, there are very tight restrictions and guidelines and there has to be documentation to prove the need for the animal on board.

Techfanatic is correct, Cunard line (QM2 and QE2) do allow pets. But they have specific rules about where they must be while onboard (there is a kennel area, they don't stay in your stateroom) and they charge about $500 to transport your pet.
