Are there any dog friendly cruise ships?

Which Ships Offer Pet-Friendly Cruises? When it comes to pet-friendly cruises, there's only one ship: Cunard's Queen Mary 2 (QM2). On certain transatlantic sailings between New York and Southampton, and vice versa, you can bring your dog or cat. That doesn't mean your pet will be able to snuggle with you in your cabin.
