Creator's Key Takeaways

we are literally in the middle of the ocean right now we are someplace between Florida and Spain on this 12-day transatlantic journey

one of the first things that you might hate on your Treads and let it cruise is if you are going from the states over to Europe or just basically from west to east is you're going to lose an hour of time almost every day

the menus do get kind of repetitive you will start to notice that there are things in the MDR that show up again

from my points of view it's kind of nice because it cuts my working day oh hey it's my working day one hour shot

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be prepared for time changes that shorten your day
βœ“Expect repetitive menus on longer cruises
βœ“Anticipate running into the same people frequently

YouTube Video Description↓

I recently had the chance to cruise from Miami to Barcelona on a transatlantic cruise with the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas. We had 12 days onboard and only stopped at 2 ports along the way, which is quite different than a "normal" cruise on a ship of this size. Let's talk about some of the differences and the things that might annoy you, and get Chris Wong's insight on what it's like for a crew member during these special journeys. #royalcaribbean #cruiseship #cruising Check out Chris' channel here: https://youtu.be/INu4A-3T0bU Get my NEW BOOK!
