Unless our ability to cram delta-V into a spacecraft goes way beyond what seems possible now with chemical rockets, a trip to the moon is always gonna involve a few days of coasting through space. That’s always going to take more preparation than a transatlantic flight.
One can only hope. For our descendants a trip to the moon might be just as routine as a transatlantic flight is today.

Let’s go with “as routine as a cruise”, then. We just need a good space elevator, orbital ring, skyhook…
