Thanks for actually reading the post, Cote, I appreciate it. I am also working through Cunard and my travel agent but it does not appear to be an issue if it is all part of the trip. It does not seem to be a problem. I will figure out a car with a driver or a one way rental that I have to drive back and return to the UK but I have some time to figure that part out.

Of course, when they were first released, I believe we were in position 3/4. We need two kennels for our kid.

So funny story! We just got a kennel confirmation for the cruise. We went on the waitlist for 2 cruises. One to Hamburg and then our travel agent suggested having a back up so we picked the July one to the UK and that is the one that we got. Now after the excitement, I am not sure about one thing. Since Brexit, do you happen to know if we can cross into the EU on the same certificate? There is a sentence in the Cunard confirmation that says "After the first entry the certificate is valid for 4 months for re-entry to the UK and ongoing travels including the EU. A new AHC must be issued for every new trip." Does this mean if we get off the ship in the UK and drive to France that we covered by the certificate that we got prior to the cruise? That is how I read it. Would anyone happen to know? We have emailed Cunard also so hoping that helps but curious if anyone has any experience here.

Ha! Not even close. We are on the waiting list but will probably be looking at the back up plan of K9Jets.

I agree and of course you nailed it. He does require 2 lower kennel spaces. We miss the length requirement by 2 or 3 inches. 🙂 Dave

Thanks so much for the response. We have not sailed with Cunard before which is what has me worried that we won't even have a chance but I will still have to put a deposit down. Not giving me the warm fuzzy feeling. 🙂 Thanks.

Hey all, we have decided to retire in 2025, woo hoo! 🙂 We are moving from the U.S. to Portugal to retire. We really want to use the Trans-Atlantic cruise in August of 2025 to do the move along with our dog. I am curious if anyone has any tips on getting the kennel booked next week when the cruises go on sale since this is a move it is critical for us to have a kennel. 1. Is the main tip to be on the phone at 5 a.m.? 2. Do Travel Agents have any advantage to the rest of us as I would use one if they have an advantage? 3. How are the phone lines? Should I call in from multiple phones until I get through? Should I call in 30 minutes early? Sorry for the basic questions but we have never done something like this and not big cruisers so just looking for some tips for next week. Thanks! Dave
