Default Trans-Atlantic Cruise or Crossing

WHo has taken a Transatlantic cruise..and if so what was your route? I have known people that took the QE2 in late summer from England to NY via the north atlantic and had a very very rough cruise. Of course people that know better would call this a "crossing" rather than a "cruise" especailly since you typically transit in 5 days. The soutern route that most of the well know cruise lines take (Celebrity, NCL, Princess RCL etc) take upwards of 14 days and travels much calmer waters.

Are tansatlanic cruises a one time deal, did you enjoy your cruise, what did you do on the 5-7 sea days, how difficult was it to arrange return transportation or did you allow the cruise lines to make your one-way air transport!


Has anyone done a crossing vs a cruise...comments??
