Just discovered your channel because I did a search for TA cruises. We’re also from the Hou area. Taking our 1st TA cruise next spring. Loved the video & looking forward to seeing more of them!
Hey thanks for sharing your honest thoughts about a transatlantic cruise! I’m going to take my first cruise from New-York to Southampton next year (yes, I’m that kind of crazy! 😅), and I think I would have liked to be on the same ship as you, you seem like really nice people! That said, I really enjoyed hearing you talk about the general mood of a transatlantic. I can’t wait even more! 🤩
Thank you….you are too kind. I am sure you are going to love it. We are looking forward to the next one. Happy to have you on our channel and hope you stick around for more videos.
Thank you. I have a 14-night Transatlantic next spring to Rome, followed by a 7 night Greek Isles on Odyssey of The Seas. All of my cruises have been 7-10 nights. I can't imagine going on a shorter one.
We are doing the exact same itinerary. My wife booked it after we did a similar one this past spring out of Miami on the Explorer. Changed rooms in Barcelona, and went on to Ravenna and spent 3 days in Venice. We got real nuts, and decided to fly to Barcelona next August, Barcelona to Southampton, on to Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia and ending in Boston for 23 days straight.
Loved this video and it was so nice to hear about your experience. Longest cruise we have been in is 10 days and we felt it was too short and we love the sea days so I think we would love a cruise like this. Looking forward to the rest of your videos!
Thank you so much for your comment and view. We really appreciate it and look forward to having you be apart of our journey. I know you will love a longer cruise.
Thanks for this video! We're doing our first transatlantic cruise next year, but we're leaving from Barcelona, sailing to Port Canaveral! I'm so excited!
I totally agree. We did a TA on Apex Fort Lauderdale to Amsterdam 2022. I’m not a homebody, I didn’t want leave either! I could go on for weeks more I think
I enjoyed your video... extremely informative. Hopefully, we will do Europe in a couple of years. Our longest cruise so far is 12 days. We wanna try 14 one day. Make your own fun...I love Sea Days. Thanks for sharing ✌🏾 😊 PS: stayed to the end🎉
Love that you stayed to the end. We try to put some funny things at the end for those that do. I think taking a reposition cruise across the Atlantic is the best way to travel between Europe and the US. Stick around for more videos. We are loving the engagement with the viewers.
My 2nd ever cruise was a transatlantic, Madeira to Port Canaveral. We absolutely loved it. The people are so different on TA it’s a different pace and it feels special. We then did a week in America as it was my first time to the states (NY & Orlando) before flying back to the UK. We then did another the following year and spent a week exploring the west coast of America before flying back. I get 8 weeks of annual leave per year, so plenty of time to do one of these. We also do a week med cruise in June and a couple of land based week long trips but I always have a special place for the TA vibe. Looking to book our 3rd TA next year and go to Mexico at the other end, can’t wait 😁
That is wonderful. So happy that you enjoyed the TA cruises. Time in the US is great…just funny since I can not wait to go back to Europe on a TA. I so agree that people are different. Living on a cruise ship is such a great way to travel long distances. Have a great time on all your cruises!!
We did our first TA last month and loved it on a Holland America ship. Looking at one next year on Voyager out of FL. I’ll look forward to your food video.
We are going to have to try a Transatlanic cruise in the future. After 50+ cruises we love port days. I would go on one of the larger ships though. We are in the 75+ year olds but still enjoy a good time. Love your review.
Nice….you would have fit in great. I saw a trip on Allure of the Seas coming back from Europe. That would be a great one for you to do if you wanted a larger ship. I loved it when I was on it a couple of times. One day I want to say I have been on 50+ cruises like you!
Thanks for the video! I am flying to Barcelona in Nov, spending 3 days exploring that city, and then getting on a TA with 3 ports and then over to Tampa, then home to Ontario. Really excited to see what the sea days on Celebrity will be like. (I've only done 2 Caribbean cruises with NCL before).
Sounds wonderful. We have not done NCL yet. Feel free to come back after and let us know what you thought of it. We plan to hit all the lines at some point. I am sure you are going to have a great trip!
Awesome, thanks for the info. I’ve wanted to do a TA but am afraid that I won’t do well with such a long trip. Husband and I tend to be homebodies though we have traveled and taken cruises and fairly short road trips. . We’ve done 9-10 day cruises and am definitely ready to go home toward the end. I enjoy sea days and hate trying to cram so much when you have so many back to back ports yet too many sea days back to back does bring on a sense of boredom . You are right, that’s on us to find things to do. I imagine working as you describe helps with avoiding boredom.
Working does keep me busy. For us it is like living on a ship more than vacationing. I think you have to know your limits and it sounds like you do. You have a great balance of home and travel that I think is great! Keep it up.
While you were on the Voyager, we were on the Explorer from Miami. The ocean was like glass the entire trip. We stayed on board with 300 other people all the way to Venice.
I am with you on the longer cruises. We have done an 12 night Mediterranean and an 11 night in the Baltics. We really like 9 nights and longer. Even 7 seems too short to us
I am doing a 15-day one that goes to Barcelona as a solo cruiser. I have done a 10 day repositioning cruise last year as a solo cruiser. It was relaxing on that one.
Hey you two, loved your info. and the blooper. Sorry Robin, some of us are good at reading lips. 😂. I am a solo cruiser and will be taking a return cruise from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale in Oct. Not a drinker nor am i a party person but i have fun in my own little cruise world. Looking forward to your future cruise information vids.
Lip reading...nice. I figure if someone makes it to the end to watch the bloopers then they deserve a good laugh. So happy that you are a solo cruiser. I think that willingness to go explore on your own is just a great thing. Not sure if this is your first time to Barcelona but we loved it there. Not being a big party person means that the cruise will be perfect for you. There will be plenty for you to do without feeling overwhelmed by a party atmosphere. Have a great time and keep watching the videos. We really appreciate the support while we grow the channel.
I love a transatlantic! I'll be doing my 3rd TA next year - Southampton to the Caribbean. Both previous times the Atlantic was like a millpond - really calm, with just a bit of rocking and rolling in the notorious Bay of Biscay, which was actually quite fun😊 By the way, Malaga is pronounced exactly the way Robin said it the first time - no correction necessary!😂
There were some different presentation and talks, but not where it was overwhelming or so that you felt like you needed to move around unless you miss something.
We personally had an interior cabin. That’s typically the way we like to travel whenever we’re on a cruise ship. I know there’s many people that love the balconies and we do have had them in the past that we did enjoy but for us the interior cabin gives us everything that we need. If you were somebody that absolutely needs to be able to see the ocean from your cabin then the balcony price is worth it, but if you don’t have to have it, spend your money on other things and save it on the cabin.
@@nevertooblank we booked an interior. Wasn’t worth the extra money to sit on a private balcony and see the ocean for 8 days. Like the darkness of interior.
Actually yes. There were not many kids but there weee some and of different ages. The ones we talked to did home or remote schooling so they were able and they seemed to like it. You could tell the family unit was one that traveled a lot.
Sorry to hear about your transatlantic experience..don’t let it ruin cruising for you..we’ve had a few negative experiences but we still love cruising..

Am preparing for my first transatlantic cruise and your info is useful. Thank you for sharing
You are welcome. Have a great time!!
Love this! We had so much fun on our first Transatlantic Cruise on RC VOS, with everyone. We will definitely do it again. 🚢🔥
Thanks…cruising is incredible
Enjoyed this! And I love that you can do transatlantic cruises to/from Galveston.
There are not as many as from Florida but perfect to find the ones that are so only one flight is needed.
Just discovered your channel because I did a search for TA cruises. We’re also from the Hou area. Taking our 1st TA cruise next spring. Loved the video & looking forward to seeing more of them!
Thank you!! Maybe we will end up on the same cruise one day.
Enjoyed the video. Im doing my first Transatlantic on Oasis of the Seas in October. First time viewing the channel and i like y'all vibe.
Thanks. Keep watching for more and have a great time on Oasis!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video! I go on my first transatlantic cruise next year.❤
That is great. I am sure you are going to love it!!!
Loved your video. We are going on a 15 night TA from Ft Lauderdale to Rome, Italy in March. Can't wait! ❤
Thanks so much for watching. Stick around for more to come. Nice!! Have a great time!
Emerald Princess? We’ll be on that cruise, too!!

I'm so looking forward to my first Transatlantic from Spain back home to Florida. I'm hoping it really feels like a vacation. Thanks for your video.
You are welcome. Have a great trip!!
we're doing that in Oct on Resilient Lady! Looking forward to it!
Thank you. I have a 14-night Transatlantic next spring to Rome, followed by a 7 night Greek Isles on Odyssey of The Seas.

Nice. We have not ventured to Holland America but one day we will start doing all the lines. So many cruise possibilities and too little time….lol

Crazy how your mind shifts as you travel more. I think a lot has to do with how your mindset is when you start and change as you mature.
I am doing a 15-day one that goes to Barcelona as a solo cruiser. I have done a 10 day repositioning cruise last year as a solo cruiser. It was relaxing on that one.
That is great! Solo cruising gets you double points on Royal. It is a great way to level up. Have a fantastic time.

Nothing quite like good rock and roll…I keep telling Troy my Spanish is impeccable..😂
On the long stretch of sea days. Are there talks by speakers? In some ways it sounds great to not have a lot of programming!
There were some different presentation and talks, but not where it was overwhelming or so that you felt like you needed to move around unless you miss something.
This Great❤. Keep Sailing🛳💯
You need to come along.
I was looking for info like this! Thank you! Also, did you put your makeup on your mans?
That is too funny. Yes, he did not like his dark circles…lol. I need to get a better shade.
Ya'll are adorable. We have a 14 day TA in November, this was very helpful, thanks!
What kind of cabin did yall have? Balcony splurge necessary?

@@nevertooblankI agree
@@nevertooblank we booked an interior. Wasn’t worth the extra money to sit on a private balcony and see the ocean for 8 days. Like the darkness of interior.
Did you happen to talk to any of the parents with younger kids? We are considering a TA cruise with our 10 year old!
Actually yes. There were not many kids but there weee some and of different ages. The ones we talked to did home or remote schooling so they were able and they seemed to like it. You could tell the family unit was one that traveled a lot.
@@nevertooblank Thank you! We've cruised a lot and our son is a good traveler. I think we'll go for it.
I did a transatlantic in 2022 and I will NEVER do it again!! Horrible experience and the ship lost power twice. NEVER!!!
Sorry to hear about your transatlantic experience..don’t let it ruin cruising for you..we’ve had a few negative experiences but we still love cruising..
what ship were you on and from where to where
@@brendalogan6281 we were on Voyager of the Seas and we left from Galveston to Barcelona Spain.
