Just to follow up and close out this thread, I did ship the bike by the QE II, cost was about USD 1,000.- , no other fees of any kind at either end, no customs problems of any kind, no hassles of any kind, it only took 45 minutes from the time the ship docked in England till I was out riding on the road.
The handling of the bike by Cunard was very professional in every way, I rode it onto the ship, and I rode it off (no-one else required to ride it), Cunard supplied all the required tie down equipment. They even washed it for me enroute, then put a bedsheet over top of it so no dust would settle on it. First class in every respect.
