Relocating to America by Cruise Ship....

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

They can store the suitcases on the cruiseship, they do have that option especially if they are taking the QueenMary.

I can't imagine trying to get several suitcases down...or up to my cabin in those little hallways...

I've never been on a cruise where you have to hump your own suitcases. I'm especially sure the Queen Mary won't have that.

I've thought of this idea myself and I think it's an excellent one. Keep in mind though once you get to New York, your bags get offloaded and you have to collect them from a big room where your cases will be. So getting the U haul van to the port might be a challenge, or you could get a taxi from the depot to U-Haul - but it would have to be a big taxi!

It might be worth weighing up all the costs as other posters have said - perhaps getting an inside cabin just for your luggage might work better.

And no, you won't have to take your suitcases anywhere. You give them to the staff before you get on the ship then they are delivered to your room on the day you embark.

You'll have fun no matter what - cruising is a lot of fun, especially on a lovely ship like the QM2.
