Volcanic ash flight disruptions have bumped up call volumes at Cunard reservations. Their Queen Mary 2 is booked solid for her next three Atlantic crossings.  The waiting list for the April 22nd crossing from Southampton to New York is 1,000 names long.  Other cruise lines with transatlantic crossings are filling up as well.  Celebrity Cruises canceled a brief launch cruise for their new ship, Celebrity Eclipse, and put her in service to collect travelers stranded on tours in Bilboa and bring them back to the U.K. Other travelers stuck on the wrong side of a body of water may wish to consider the mental strength of Katie Spotz who recently rowed across the Atlantic solo in 70 days, aided by 300 chocolate bars and 4 iPods. If you’re stuck in Europe, enjoy the better chocolate while you can and make offerings to Vulcan and Pele.
