Transatlantic Cruises

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

Hi all!

I was thinking about booking myself on a Transatlantic cruise sometime next year from the USA to Europe and like to know if anyone here has done it before and if so how did it go for you and if you would recommend it? I was looking at Cunard and Holland.

Looks boring.. I once had a Cruise on the Mediterranean when I was still a lad (with my parents) and I only really enjoyed the moments when we went down the ship to visit some places

I can't think of being stuck on a ship for like 2 or 3 weeks, it would kill all my joy

I can understand that. I think it’s a 7 day cruise depending, but it can go as high as 14 with others if they make a few stops along the way.

Are you really looking forward to the classic experience of crossing the Atlantic on a ship? Because it is going to be very expensive in comparison to flying to get board for the two weeks on a ship unless you manage to somehow find employment on the ship.

EDIT: what stops are you talking about?

Royal Caribbean has a 13 day one leaving from Barcelona Spain, you go to Malaga Spain, Nassau Bahamas then Orlando Florida as the final stop (later this month). They have similar ones for 2022, US to Europe and vice versa.

The one I am looking at is Cunard, New York to Hamburg, Germany, leaving 3rd of January 2022 and arriving the 12th of January, 2022, it's going straight there.

You're right about the price. I have a flight booked with Aer Lingus I got a good price on, but that's going to be my mid/late Spring trip for next year.

Was it not nice to enjoy the sea and wave? Did they offer the same breakfast everyday?

I'm also considering - the price seems pretty high per cabin and bathtub with views is out of question

I would prefer a transatlantic cruise on a sailing yacht rather than a cruise ship full of old people eating all-day
