hello Elizabeth -- I also am from New Jersey, 57 year old widow, a college professor. I am traveling to England on the Queen Mary 2 on Sept. 8 if I can find a person to share with me. I have a teaching gig in England and will need to take that specific ship at that time. If by chance you are interested, you should know I expect to take the Sept. 8 Cunard transatlantic sailing and hope to pay $1,000 (sharing a cabin that costs $2,000 approximately.) This is a seven-day cruise. Afterwards, you could go to London, do a bit of sight-seeing, etc. and would fly back one-way, I imagine. If you are interested, email me at
cmccoy@jjay.cuny.edu. Thanks! Candace
