HI Natascha,
Congratulations on snagging kennel space for a round-trip! Wifi in the middle of the ocean is so much improved from when I first cruised aboard Queen Mary 2 in 2004, that I doubt you will have any issues. Please make sure that you have all the correct paperwork filled out according to the instructed timetable. Otherwise, have a wonderful cruise with Pedro! Enjoy the Dog Parade and group photo! Thank you for reading my article and taking the time to write. Much appreciated.
Sherry

I am looking forward to it. Question on the WFI – how good is it? Are there some sea days when it does not work? Thanks so much!

Hi Kathy,
There are ships from Southampton that include a stop or stops in Ireland. In 2023, Princess, Silversea, Celebrity, Norwegian and Oceania all have Southampton departures and go to at least Cobh, Ireland. I hope that’s a good start for you. Thank you very much for reading my article and taking the time to send your question.

I don’t fly. I traveled to Ireland. It was a long journey. Are there any ships that leave Southhampton to Ireland do you know? Thank you

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for watching my video and reading my article! Much appreciated. You or your travel agent need to reach out to Cunard to find out if there will be a priest onboard in October. Under normal circumstances, I would say yes. I remember seeing the notice for Catholic Mass in the daily planner. Whether or not the cruise line has made arrangements this far in advance…I don’t know.

They may not yet know either. My advice would be to place your deposit on the stateroom of your choice now and then keep track of the final payment due date as well as any new refund policy. Again, under normal times, you could cancel up until the day BEFORE final payment was due and get a full refund on your deposit. By that time, the cruise line should know if there is a priest booked on your sailing.
I hope this is helpful information and I apologize if I didn’t provide an accurate answer to your question.
