What is the calmest time to cross the Atlantic (if there is one)? My dh has family in England and we would love to visit together. Since I gave up flying, the QM2 seems to be our answer (we'd have to do QM2 there and back, spending a couple of weeks in England). I do get a bit of motion sickness (sometimes), so this would make a difference to me as to when we would go. (I also carry a mobile pharmacy onboard in the event of illness) ;)
I crossed on the QE2 in late September last year, and the sea was very quiet. That's no guarantee, of course. I am crossing in her again this December, and am hoping for heavier seas just to have more of a North Atlantic "feel" to the trip. I am lucky in that I don't get seasick. The advice about the cabin (low and midships) is good. You'll do fine. Have a great trip!
