Transatlantic Cruise Guide - TOP TIPS for SMOOTH SAILING!

Are you thinking of taking a transatlantic cruise but the thought of so many sea days makes you nervous? Or maybe you’ve just booked your first transatlantic cruise and are not quite sure what to expect? I’m Raquel and this channel is for people who want to cruise like a pro-even if they’re a first time cruiser. I took two transatlantic cruises this summer and in this video I’m going to share some tips and tricks that will make your transatlantic cruise smooth sailing. Transatlantic cruises can relaxing, fun and even a cost effective way to cruise when compared to the cost of a traditional round trip cruise. The reason I ultimately decided to book two transatlantic cruises this summer is because I wanted to travel to Europe with my mom who has health issues that make long-haul flights challenging for her. So I booked our outgoing journey on the Queen Mary 2 which transported us from New York to Southampton in the UK. Then I booked a return voyage on the Carnival Valor which brought us from Barcelona, Spain to New Orleans. Later in the video I will tell you what I paid for each cruise and compare it with the cost of flying. But first, let’s explore 10 tips that will help make your first transatlantic cruise an enjoyable one.
