15-Day Transatlantic Cruise on Carnival Dream | Galveston to Barcelona

This video documents our 15-day transatlantic cruise aboard Carnival Dream from the Port of Galveston across the North Atlantic to Barcelona, Spain. Angie and I continue our Carnival Diamond Chase journey as we spend more than two weeks crossing the Atlantic Ocean aboard the Carnival Dream. Along the way we experience sea days, changing time zones, rough Atlantic waters, onboard activities, gifts from Carnival, conversations with fellow travelers, and visits to Bermuda and Gibraltar before arriving in Barcelona. This video provides a look at daily life aboard a transatlantic cruise, what it feels like to spend extended time at sea, and some of the memorable moments we experienced during the crossing. What's covered in this video: • Boarding Carnival Dream for a 15-day transatlantic sailing to Barcelona and receiving our back-to-back cruise gifts and Platinum recognition items. • Spending multiple sea days crossing the North Atlantic while enjoying the Lido Deck, ship activities, wildlife sightings, and daily life aboard the ship. • Meeting our stateroom attendant Nurus and sharing the towel animal creations that appeared throughout the voyage. • Experiencing changing sea conditions in the middle of the Atlantic and discussing the challenges of multiple time zone changes during a transatlantic crossing. • Visiting Bermuda and touring the Bermuda Museum while learning about the island's history, architecture, shipwrecks, colonization, and limestone construction. • Observing Dolphin Quest in Bermuda and discussing the dolphins that are cared for at the facility. • Receiving commemorative gifts from Carnival including a cruise itinerary tumbler and other keepsakes collected during the voyage. • Meeting fellow travelers Pat and John and discussing cruising, RV travel, Australia, New Zealand, Barcelona, Wisconsin, and Marble Falls, Texas. • Sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar and viewing Europe and Africa from the ship while listening to announcements from the bridge. • Discussing the realities of extended cruising including laundry service, cabin life, packing challenges, casino activity, late-night ship life, and adapting to life aboard for weeks at sea. • Reflecting on more than a month of continuous cruising that began aboard Carnival Jubilee before continuing on additional Carnival sailings. • Arriving in Barcelona and beginning the next stage of our journey after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. A transatlantic cruise offers a different experience from traditional Caribbean itineraries. Instead of frequent port stops, much of the voyage is spent at sea, creating opportunities to enjoy the ship, meet other travelers, and experience the gradual transition between continents. This crossing aboard Carnival Dream provided a chance to visit Bermuda, sail through the Strait of Gibraltar, view both Europe and Africa from the same location, and conclude the voyage in Barcelona. For travelers considering a repositioning cruise or a transatlantic sailing, this video shows what daily life looked like during our crossing and highlights many of the experiences we encountered along the way. 00:00 Welcome Aboard Carnival Dream 01:55 Sea Days & Life On Board 04:14 Exploring Bermuda & Dolphin Quest 07:37 Mid-Atlantic Crossing Experience 08:15 Carnival Gifts & Fellow Travelers 10:32 Entering the Strait of Gibraltar 13:15 Cruise Life, Laundry & Long Voyages 15:00 Gatsby Night & Preparing To Pack 18:40 Arrival In Barcelona Amazon Store Front https://www.amazon.com/shop/ourvisionnomadicliving ✅ DISCLAIMER – ouRVision nomadic living is a YouTube channel intended for entertainment purposes only.
