In a transatlantic crossing I would assume that the seas are a little bit rougher than in the Caribbean but want to know if anyone has any experience with transatlantic cruising and how they fared with the smaller ships.
I did go to the Cruise Critic website and left a message but no response yet.

Please do not tell me you are going to use Legendary Journeys as the travel agent. The only handy thing about them is the bus service between The Villages and the cruiseport.
I was on one of their trips last November that was flying to Rome from Orlando, 5 days in Italy and then 8 days TransAtlantic on the Navigator of the Seas to Ft. Lauderdale. I would not use Legendary Journeys again under any circumstances. I will try and link a review I did for one of their hotels we used.
I did not like the Navigator of the Seas at all. I am a frequent cruiser on Celebrity which is 110% better than RCL - even though Celebrity is owned by RCL. Here is a link to CruiseCritic and Vision of the Seas.
