Review summary

Atlantic crossings are all about luck in weather timing. We skirted just north of tropical storm/which became hurricane Oscar. That gave warm clear days and flat seas! Our sister ship, a few days behind us, hit the stirred up seas hard. The service and our staff were exceptional. The age of our ship is noticeable, the newer ships are much nicer. The only issue was the intimacy of the shower curtain in the tight shower. Of course we did an online booking. Part of the enjoyment of the crossing is running in to other frequent, serial travelers. We got to know several of them much better coordinating future travel to join them again. One couple we had sailed with two years ago we couldn’t remember. Turned out we didn’t really have anything in common with them, which we discovered over dinner. That was our least fun meal.
