I Took My First TRANSATLANTIC Cruise And I Can’t Believe This Happened

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator details his experience on a fourteen day transatlantic voyage aboard the Carnival Celebration, which was the newest ship in the Carnival fleet at the time of sailing. He describes the journey from Southampton to Miami, noting that while the ship is visually stunning, the newness of the vessel resulted in various technical issues including broken elevators, non-functional toilets, and creaking sounds. The creator observes that the ship's layout feels more cramped compared to its sister ship, the Carnival Mardi Gras, and notes that the buffet options were often limited. He provides a critique of the onboard entertainment, praising the comedians and pianists but describing the immersive production shows in the Grand Central area as a failure due to poor sightlines. Despite facing storms at sea and some social friction, he highlights the exceptional quality of the ship's Wi-Fi, which allowed for rapid video uploads. He concludes that while the cruise was eventful and exciting, a two week transatlantic sailing can feel repetitive, and he ultimately prefers the design and amenities of the Carnival Mardi Gras.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I recently took my first transatlantic cruise from Wild storms at Sea to visiting destinations I never thought I would in my lifetime
the food and dining options overall I would say was great as a whole I would say maybe between a seven or eight out of 10
the entertainment... it was more or less a train wreck just to be clear the talent there was absolutely amazing... however it just wasn't my taste
overall it was decent would I do it again maybe but only for two reasons one the reason I went in the first place was primarily to work
