Queen Mary 2 for about $100 a night Transatlantic is the best you can do today. It is after all basically a floating hotel, not a bus.
Right... which is why I'm thinking more along the lines of a faster floating Motel 6 rather than a slow floating Ritz-Carlton.
Cut back on the amenities, get me there in a few days rather than a week and a half, and I'd be interested.
Of course, they have to have a lot more than ME interested before it becomes practical to build or gut-and-refit a ship and operate it. Just sayin' I like the idea...
New York to Amsterdam, 4-5 days, for $700 or so, and it beats the heck out of flying!
