Sorry arcine. But the expression "posh" comes from the days when Brits used to travel to India - not to America - by sea. On the India run "port out" meant a cool cabin (north side) and "starboard home" meant a cool cabin (north side) coming home. On an Atlantic crossing, as you suggest, the acronym would have been "shpo" - which sounds nowhere near as posh as "posh". Sorry to be pedantic.
