Did anyone do a review of a TA on a Carnival ship ? I am doing the Rome or Tampa one this fall. I ‘ve watched several videos of TA on other cruise lines, but not Carnival.
This was in November. We did have two rough days at sea. While I do not get sea sick Wanda can so she packs over the counter sea sick medication and patches. They worked for her!
Last year I was on enchantment of the seas transatlantic 30 april-15 may '23 from Newyork to Civitavecchia Italy & 15 may-22 may from Civitavecchia to Athens Greece & flight back to my island Aruba
I'm also going in 25 oct transatlantic adventure of the seas🛳⚓️🌊 but on 7 november I will take transatlantic celebrity constellation in barcelona back to Tampa
Heads up in Spain...locals in Barcelona, Tenerife and Malaga have been protesting mass tourism...especially from cruise ships and they're talking about cutting back on Airbnb licenses. I would think you shouldn't have any problems with the time of season you're going.
@@GoinSomewhereElse The clip I saw (on RU-vid) was solely about Spain, but other countries like Italy have been joining the bandwagon with cities like Venice who now charge a daily admittance fee and have expelled cruise ships. We witnessed the craziness in Dubrovnik Croatia when two ships dumped several thousand tourists in town. One minute I was enjoyed my kodak moments and the next we were mobbed and almost trampled. 2024 is supposed to be the busiest tourist season ever in Europe.
Just booked a Transatlantic and we are very nervous. I have watched several videos but this one has calmed my fears. Thank you for sharing your experience!
This is what I plan to do in a few years, take a cruise over and a cruise back from Europe. I have the time and if I were to fly, I would want to go first class and cruises are the same price or less than first class tickets.
I'm not sure they normally have cruises to Europe in the fall. Usually fall transatlantic cruises head west to North America and in the Spring head east from NorthAmerica to Europe.
@@GoinSomewhereElse I was talking about going in the summer. The Queen Mary 2 sails back and forth when the weather is nice. There are a couple of ships that go back and forth and not just reposition, like the Disney cruise line does.
Im taking HAL Nieuw Statendam from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale this November. Youre right couldnt beat the one way airfare and cost to come back. Whatvare the top 3 things you would chsnge/bring/do differently fornyour next one?
We have been on HAL Nieuw Amsterdam several times in the Caribbean, it is still one of of favourite ships. We enjoyed our transatlantic cruise on the Enchantment of The Seas so much that we will be doing two Atlantic crossings this fall. One, a rare west bound cruise from Florida to Lisbon, Portugal and five days later we will return home on another transatlantic from Barcelona. No long flights at all this time. I can't think of anything we would or will change.
This was last fall, November 2023. We are sailing on a couple transatlantics again this fall. One east to west from the USA to Lisbon and then returning from Barcelona to the USA shortly after. It will be interesting to see how east to west transatlantic cruises are.
The normal drone videos you see on RU-vid really do no justice for the Gordie Howe International Bridge. It's absolutely huge from the perspective of a boat. It's an amazing feat of engineering. Also, pretty neat to be sailing near those freighters. Always loved watching them sail by on the St. Clair river in Port Huron. Thanks for the upload. Was a fun video.
Dear Gary unfortunately do you don’t see nothing from Azores. Azores it’s more then city and sete cidades lagoon. Next time do you pass from São Miguel island I guide you for places more beauties. Have a nice trip e nice to meet you.
It won’t be too much longer until that portion of the province of Ulster rejoins with the rest of the province, in a once again fully emancipated Ireland, free from the English occupation…
The sunrise from Diamond Head is spectacular. The view of sun rises out of the Pacific Ocean breathtaking. Making the hike up before the the sun comes out is also is a good way to beat the heat. If you haven't yet, I hope you get a chance to experience it someday.
Great video. I happened to also do a Transatlantic cruise onboard the Enchantment of the Seas. However, mine was Eastbound from Bayonne, New Jersey to eventually, Civitavecchia (Rome) Italy. And, I LOVED every minute of it (as it seems you also loved your cruise). We left New Jersey April 30th and had some pretty rough seas for the first 5 or so days. The only thing I didn't like, was that for the 6 time changes, we LOST an hour for 6 days. So, that part wasn't the greatest, but our total cruise was 15-nights, so I guess we both worked out to having a 14 and a HALF day cruise, since you gained a half day and I lost a half day. Like you said, our cruise was WAY cheaper than our 1-way flight home. PLUS, they fed us LOTS of great food for 15 days on the cruise portion! So, next time, I think I would fly to Europe and then cruise the WESTBOUND leg back to the US. Thanks again.
Hey Patrick, Thank you for watching the video and for your comments. We really enjoyed our time on the Enchantment of The Seas and actually looked for another date to cruise on her. Hopefully someday again. East bound transatlantics do appear to be a bit different. The 23 hour days might take some getting used to. We loved the west bound 25 hour days at sea. That being said, we are planning a couple transatlantics this fall. A rare east bound transatlantic to Lisbon then back to North America on a west bound transatlantic. Lots of sea days. Cheers! Gary
Great job Gary! couple of ideas for you; the location of all of the different town and city halls that made up the border cities (Sandwich, Windsor, Walkerville, Ojibway, Riverside, Ford City, etc.) before amalgamating into Windsor
Thanks for sharing your transatlantic cruise experience. I enjoyed this video very much. I’ll be on a TA from Ft Lauderdale to Europe with HAL in April so your video helps as it will be my first TA cruise.
Thank you for your comment. We have cruised on Holland America's Nieuw Amsterdam several times and really enjoyed HAL. Beautiful, elegant ships. East Bounf transatlantic might be a little different. Sea days will most likely be 23-hour days rather than the 25-hour days traveling westbound. The sea may not be as rough but still best to be prepared if you or anyone in your party gets motion sickness. Enjoy your cruise! BTW, noticed your RU-vid name "Love Canada Geese". We live near Jack Minor's in Kingsville which is a large migration stop for Canada geese. We have already seen some Canada geese return early this year.
I’ve always wanted to visit the Jack Miner Bird sanctuary. Hopefully one day. It’s very early for geese to return. We usually don’t see them until late march here.
It’s cool how all the names of towns are the same as here…🤣🇨🇦. I went for my 50th in 2019. My grandpa was born in Derry. Felt like was home..so crazy the feeling I had.
@@GoinSomewhereElse Cavan,Monaghan ,Ballyduff,Erin,…..yeah loads more ……🤣🫡🇨🇦. I do know my Country ….sheesh..you make it sound like we don’t know our own history and heritage dude.
That was our first Transatlantic too. The Enchantment was a beautiful ship, and the crew was amazing. We loved it so much that we booked two more TA's since we've been home. 😃
I like your thinking. We haven't booked yet but we too are looking at a few transatlantic cruises right now. Agree! The Enchantment is a beautiful ship and all of the crew were super friendly. So many good memories from this cruise.
Hope this becomes a trend… I have only visited a couple times but all my family emigrated from Ireland in the late 1800s I can’t stop thinking about Ireland and if I had the chance I would go there even if it’s just to die and be buried there
Brother this is your native land. You were also blessed with being born in one of the most beautiful areas of Northern Ireland. These islands are your native land
