What Nobody Tells You About Transatlantic Cruises

Creator's Key Takeaways
The food was wonderful. It was just pretty standard and pretty American.
We could not do it all and yet were never bored.
We ended up losing a total of 6 hours across the sailing. Uh so that means six different nights we lost an hour of sleep. And that was kind of rough.
Would we do it again? 120% yes.
