Westie goes west

There are porters at Southampton who will take your luggage from you when you arrive, it's much easier than an airport.

 

In Queens Grill your butler can serve food from the dining room in your suite.

 

Have a wonderful trip and please don't be stressed out !

Thank you!! That is a relief to know it's easier than in an aiport

My dog and I are moving from Ireland to the US so we're taking QM2 from Southampton in May to get us across the Atlantic and then driving for three weeks from Brooklyn to Portland, Oregon.

I have so many newbie questions but one thing I'd love to know is if there is any help with suitcases when you check in Southampton? I'm worried about managing the dog and the suitcase and I'm not sure how check in works on boats.

My other question is about tips and currency. Will Euros be OK or should I change into US dollars or Sterling.

Any advice for first time solo travellers would be really appreciated.

I've booked a Queens Grills room and I'd like to know if you don't want to dress up every night are there alternative to Gills restaurant?

We're so excited about the journey ahead but the little details have me stressed out :')

Thank you for sharing these!! I'm travelling Southampton to NY with my Westie in May, it's very comforting to see dogs relaxed and happy. :)
