refinement of the aircraft carrier idea, whilst keeping the US/Europe foci...

QE2 does NY-Southampton once a week. US lot flies to UK, boards QE2 with Europe lot, play AWS/drink lots/code slot management and 7 day auto-schedule, dock Manhattan. All fly home!

Isn't the QE2 in Dubai now?    I think the QM2 does the crossings now....     

Modify/Edit:  Looked it up.  It is the QM but it is EXPENSIVE!   Wow.   4k for 2 people in an oceanview room.

I found a £999 14 nights soton-ny-soton. Cheaper than a hotel, especially when food is included.

Did you see the small-print? You're sleeping in a hammock right next to the diesel engines and you're scrubbing the machine-room floors there and back - oh and the included food is water and gruel. :laugh:

I'm an AWS player - I know pain suffering loss and sleepness nights. Sounds like a cakewalk!

I booked this cruise for my family:

June 2, 2023
Royal Caribbean, Radiance of the Seas.
Departs:    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA,   JUNEAU, ALASKA,   ICY STRAIT POINT, ALASKA    SITKA, ALASKA   SKAGWAY, ALASKA    SEWARD, ALASKA
4 of us are in a Oceanview room (the balcony rooms are a bit pricey).   It was $3200 all included (without travel).   

Getting to Vancouver is pretty easy for everyone.  Getting home from PANC is a tad more challenging for some, though.
