Thank you

Haidi 13 if you decide to come to LA before summer 2020 let me know . I will invite you to my house for BBQ. I have a big family, nice house on Hollywood Hills with nice view. I feel good to talk to someone knowledgeable like you. It really helps me. Like I mentioned before I know a little about oceans and never knew anyone who worked at seas in my life. 

Thank you.

Heidi 13 I thank you for your advices.  I didn't mean you and others who were nice. But some guys did and then someone erased those comments and blocked the topic. Anyways it's not important. Important thing is that I feel OK now. Hopefully will be later.

Thanks Cool Cruiser. By the way you are from Holland .My relatives live in Holland . 

Aquahound  thanks to you.  Tha info you just gave me made me feel strong again.  

God bless you and your family.

THANK YOU.

Host Clarea thank you

Thank you Sir. Your advice helps me a lot. 

Hi. I asked for some advice about crossing the Atlantic and some people thought I was messing around.  Please believe me I am not a lowlife person to play with peoples feelings. I had very bad depression and decided to go to Europe, visit my family.  But once I decided to go this unfunded fear came to me so I decided to ask in the forum and got all kinds of insults and disrespect from some people. There were lot of nice guys who gave me good advices . I thank them. All I wanted was help and advice.

I am going to book July 30 2020 crossing with Cunard Lines Queen Mary 2. I know in fact that cruise ships are very safe specially Queen Mary 2 . I look forward to that. But sometimes out of nowhere this fear attacks me . What if something goes wrong in the middle of the ocean. I know its 000.1 chance for that but when anxiety comes I fell so helpless . All I need is some support from people who traveled a lot and know things about oceans and ships. Thank you.

MCC Retired. Thats what I want to hear. Please understand me I have never been on a ship. For me its like all this wooden ships on oceans. Thats why I am asking you if it's safe. you guys have experience and I have none. Sorry if I surprised you with my questions but thats what worries me. 

Like BDRebel said . Is it possible ? Yes. Anything is possible. 

     Is it likely ? I cannot think of any modern day cruise ships that sunk of weather.

All I want to hear is support from you that nothing like that is possible.

Thanks again.

MCC Retired what I like about this crossing that its not 7 straight days. Most is 3 days and its near Greenland. then stops again in Iceland then 1 day seaday  to Scotland .What I am worried about as a first time cruiser is that how safe this cruises are ?  I don't worry about seasickness .   My concern is that do they sink easily ?  I need some encouragement . LOL. thank you.

And by the way it's very nice to have forum of cruisers like this. I hope I will like the crossing and be one of you. Thank you guys for all the advice.

One question that I have it may sound funny for you guys that have a lot of experience but I need to ask.  Are these big ships safe ? They don't sink easily right ? I did some research and the last big ship that had sank was Titanic ( not counting Costa Concordia ) . When I say I worry about storms I don't mean seasickness or not having fun. All I worry about is in those conditions they don't sink right ?  ( of course anything can happen . I guess 000.1 chance) . 

MCC Retired.  This Itinerary is different. Its once or twice a year at August they cross Atlantic up North. New York to Canada to Iceland to Scotland to Southampton . July 31 2020.

John Bull Thanks for the info. I cannot fly by airplane( health reasons).  I wanted to visit family in Europe and my only choice is ship. I choose the best month ( August ), Best ship ( Queen Mary 2 ), And taking the rout that has only 3 sea days nonstop was the best I could find.  I have never been in storms. I just wanted to know if it is safe for the ship even if we hit a storm ?

Thanks guys for your advice. It,s just a while  I stopped flying . Thats the reason I am crossing the Atlantic with ship. Its Queen Mary 2 . Once a year its not going straight to Southampton. It will take the Northern Part of Atlantic with stops in Newfoudland , Canada then Iceland then Scotland to Southampton. I will be bored 7 days at seas that why I too this rout.

Hi everyone. I want to take a transatlantic cruise with Holland America on August of 2019 . We are going from New York to Greenlan then Iceland than Holland. I am a first time cruiser and I am scared of storms . Do you think it is stormy at North Sea in August ?   I hate storms . I feel like I will die from heat attack when I get into the storm.   Thank you .
