Hi Crystal & Marshall, this is Tim. We met on the Explorer. Muhamad was our waiter. I really enjoy your videos. I sometimes have trouble sleeping but now all I need to do is start watching your video and I go right to sleep. Just kidding. Carmen and I are glad to see you start a youtube channel and we look forward to keeping up with your travels. Looking forward to cruising with you again.
Hi Tim - Of course we remember you and Carmen. We were so lucky that our "pop up" table wound up next to yours for our back to back on Explorer! Thanks for watching and we truly cannot wait to cross paths with you on the high seas again. Be well.
What a coincidence, we're looking at the same cruise next year on the Odessey of the Seas. Hoping to be retired by then. Fingers crossed. We we're on the Odessey last year, and our favorite restaurant was Giovannis.
Hi @richardcoffland, how exciting that your retirement is coming up soon! We'll also keep our fingers crossed with you. Our favorite dish at Giovanni's is the gorgonzola gnocchi....so delicious! Definitely do the transatlantic cruise if you are able....you will love it!
Such great reasons! I did a transatlantic from Barcelona to Port Canaveral on the Wonder. I figured if I was going to be at sea for 8 days, I wanted to be on the largest ship (at that time) and have time to enjoy it. Did you have trouble with jet lag going from US to Europe? It was great coming back from Europe as we gained an hour a day while at sea and there was no jet lag. Thanks for sharing.
Great question! What we found very interesting is that the time change was done differently both times. The first trip, the captain came on at noon with the updates and then announced the time change to 1pm. The second time, the changes happened in the middle of the night. We found that the noontime change actually worked better as we never lost any sleep and had no effects on us. Loosing an hour of sleep multiple days in a row did slow us down just a bit but nothing that bad.
Wow! Beautiful and very special video thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are glad you enjoy our videos and look forward to sharing more each week!
Yes… we will be on the Odyssey sailing next October, and we should definitely meet up for a cocktail onboard 😁
Cheers, James
Yes James, we will definitely connect onboard for a drink! Looking forward to it.

I've been wanting to do a transatlantic cruise! Maybe 2025, let's see! 😎
Thanks for watching MarissaBooksTravel! As you can see, we love transatlantic cruising so we would suggest you try as soon as it works out for you.
