Creator's Key Takeaways

We recently sailed on a 16- night transatlantic cruise from Southampton, England to Port Canaveral, Florida on board the Sky Princess.

This was our very first transatlantic cruise and our very first trip across the pond.

Even with the lack of sleep from an overnight flight and jumping forward six hours, our spirits weren't dampened.

It was without question one of the best seafood meals I've ever had.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Plan a pre-cruise itinerary to make the most of your time in the UK.
βœ“Consider letting someone else handle driving in the UK if you're not used to it.
βœ“Give yourself plenty of time to explore Edinburgh Castle due to its size and history.
