Creator's Key Takeaways

I flew into Barbados from Birmingham and went straight to the ship if I had my time again I would book the 15 night cruise so that I had a day in Barbados before the cruise Departed

watching the Island's dramatic landscape with its towering petor and Lush Green Hills disappear into the Horizon is something not to be missed

the Atlantic can be rough at times so if you're prone to seasickness be prepared

it is a bucket list Adventure transatlantic cruises often happen during what's known as repositioning where cruise lines move their ships between the Caribbean and Europe
