We sailed our first Transatlantic Cruise 2026 | Our First Impressions | The Good, Bad and Ugly

Editorial Summary

The creators share their first impressions after seven days of a fourteen day transatlantic cruise from Florida to Italy aboard the Celebrity Edge. They categorize their experience into good, bad, and ugly elements. The positive aspects include a surprisingly diverse age range of adults, lively onboard activities like a guest choir, high quality entertainment, and consistently delicious food. They also highlight the community of fellow cruise enthusiasts on board. The negative aspects involve limited outdoor activities due to chilly weather, inconsistent wi-fi, early closing times for venues like the casino and clubs, and the physical difficulty of adjusting to twenty three hour days. The most challenging aspect, described as the ugly, is the unpredictable and rough Atlantic weather. They note that heavy rocking from large waves can make walking in hallways difficult and may impact those prone to seasickness. Despite the rough conditions, the creators conclude that they have loved the sailing and would recommend transatlantic cruises to experienced cruisers, though they advise beginners to avoid them as a first cruise experience.
