Creator's Key Takeaways

On a transatlantic, the ship is your destination.

I would not prefer an insider cabin on a transatlantic.

I was unwell. I'm not everybody. He is not everybody. You need to know yourself.

The ports are neat. And one of the things I would suggest is really take the time to look at the shore excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for seasickness with medicine and a small medicine cabinet.
Choose a centrally located cabin for less motion.
Use the ship's app to track entertainment and ship time.
Be intentional about shore excursions to maximize port time.
