    cruise of course.

    There is nothing good on plane except the moment when it's rising, or crashing.

    Does Icelandair offer liquor on menu? Finnair has that.

    Whatever you'll enjoy more, and can afford.

    Though my experience of flying transatlantic is that if there's a way to stuff in more sardines, they'll find it there.
    Eats, shoots, and leaves.

    OK recent experience. Took the Queen Mary 2 to England and flew back. Obviously you don't get the jet lag with a ship crossing. Comfy and nice and there are activities and what not to entertain you - the open buffet was quite nice you can pass on the restaurant dinning if you wan't to save money. It was as a nice fit since I had three kids from 9-17 and the 9 year old loved the kid day care very professional and fun gave her an immersion course in a British accent that she still has. But than again flying back on Virgin Atlantic with the wife's Delta sky miles was decent even in economy plus or whatever. Rather comfy and the drinks were free and video feed. I don't recall my previous trip on real basic economy a decade ago being so nice. I guess it really depends on if you have the time to kill on the water for 4/5 days.

    'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'

    But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.

    Hyperides of Athens: We know, replied he, that Antipater is good, but we (the Demos of Athens) have no need of a master at present, even a good one.

    Idk, but I've seen and had alcohol on a lot of different trips. My trip to Spain had booze, so did my trip to Ireland, and Russia.
