We have taken between 10-15 transatlantic cruises and in fact we have 2 scheduled right now. One in October from England to Ft Lauderdale and one from Maimi to Rome in April 2013. In that case we have made arrangements with the Captain/ship to disembark in Livorno rather than giong to Rome. We are going to vacation in Italy for 5-6 days and then fly back.
We do not like the mega ships. Have been on them and they are not our favorites. In April 2013 we are sailing on the Celebrity Reflections which is a good ship. We really enjoy the Transatlantic's as you have time to enjoy the
time to read and also tour, etc. Regarding the transatlantic crossings. They are very safe. In one case we sailed for an evening in a gail and hardly noticed it. We always get a balcony so see the ports when we arrive, to sit
and enjoy the weather, etc. We use a company called "Crucon" to schedule
our trips as they usually have good perks and we have had good experiences with them. If you have any questions please let us know in case we can help?
