Creator's Key Takeaways

we just got off a transatlantic Cruise a few days ago and while we were on we booked two more

the first mistake we made on our transatlantic Cruise was not realizing or not thinking about the fact that the sun is going to be in the same place for the entire cruise

I do struggle from time to time with motion sickness and I haven't for a while on several cruises until we were on this one

the entertainment on this ship will probably not be as good as you are used to

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose your cabin side based on sun exposure (north for shade, south for sun).

✓Pack stronger motion sickness medication than usual.

✓Expect poor internet connectivity in the middle of the Atlantic.

✓Be aware of daily time changes and check the TV for correct ship time.

✓Book thermal suites for relaxation and better value on transatlantic cruises.

✓Book specialty restaurants for meal variety.

Motion sickness — Pack stronger medication than normal; the ship offered complimentary motion sickness medication.

Internet connectivity — Expect poor service in the middle of the Atlantic; plan accordingly for work or calls.

Time changes — Be conscious of daily time adjustments; check the TV for correct ship time as phones may not update.

YouTube Video Description↓

We will explain the 10 things you need to know before going on a Transatlantic cruise. There are cruises you can take in the spring or fall going to and from Europe from America. Some of the most popular cruise lines to take on a transatlantic cruise are NCL, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess and Holland America. We just got off the MSC Seascape on a transatlantic cruise and it was a great time. We have since booked transatlantic cruises on the Holland America Zuiderdam and the Carnival Venezia. Some of the topics we cover are food, specialty dining, what room to get on a transatlantic cruise (inside vs. balcony) and what direction you should face on the ship.
