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.

As a big fan of Celebrity and especially the Celebrity Equinox, I suggest their April Crossing from Ft Lauderdale for 999 for inside, 1249 oceanview and 1399 Balcony. I would go for the balcony. See info below:
