Can you show a source on this?all large cargo ships used to have a few (up to 12-15) passenger cabins that were low priced. 9-11 probably did them in. in fact, I just did a Google search and it is still going on and much cheaper than air fair or cruse ship. it is a lot more boring than a cruse ship, but if you just want to get from a to b, check it out. I did not check out about going west coast to Hawaii, first stuff that pops up is about U.S. to Europe. Worth looking into is you are interested in overseas travel.
Googling freighter cruising, or low budget freighter travel brings up a lot of info, all of it claiming to be low budget, but it seems to dwindle down to an average of 100$ a day, and min. average 2 weeks trips (looks like 1400$ to me..).
I dont mean to call you out or anything, if you know some cheaper ones, would love to see it, but even at half that price, a flight is still cheaper by far.
