Dogs on Board?
Do any of the major cruise lines ever allow dogs on board, or I should say on deck? I've taken a number of cruises and have never seen a dog, but I am wondering if the cruise lines ever have special sailings for pet lovers.@:-)

Sounds like that's the only regular cruise line that does. The other option is charter. this page on pet travel was informative.
Service dogs I'm sure would be allowed on any large cruise line. I think I remember reading some travel reports from people how had service dogs on their cruise, and the issues involved.

Let's keep it that way. I am allergic to dogs and find them as annoying as some others find children or smokers. Whay should my vacation be ruined by some dog howling in the next room while the owners are out for the evening?
