Going acroos Atlantic April 2010

[95roadking]

We cross the Atlantic in April on the Naviagator of the Seas. We leave from Miami and next hit land at the Canary Islands. What kind of weather and seas might we encounter?

Last year my brother and I went on a Transatlantic in November. The seas were quiet for the 8 days it took to cross the Atlantic. We spoke with others on board that had taken multiple transatlantic cruises and they said on a whole the voyages were smooth both in November and April. Another couple said they hit a very bad storm but it was handled well by the size of the ship.

 

Another idea is to look at cruise critic reviews of Transatlantic trips. I have found that on the whole the authors of the reviews do not usually mention terriible storms.

 

Let us face it though we cannot really depend on the weather. At least it is not hurricane season.

 

I will be joining you on the Navigator with 5 others. Just a little note that we all just received cruise credits because prices have dropped from when we originally booked. If your price has dropped, give them a call. That is all it takes to receive the credit. Bon Voyage.

We were on the Voyager last April, had smooth sailing the whole way. I was hoping for a little bit of rock and roll, but alas nothing.

What kind of weather? Who knows?

Chances for nice weather are good for you since you are headed for the Canary Islands, a fairly southern route. Nothing is for certain though. :)

See you there :)

We're on this cruise too, and hoping for good weather, of course. We did a TA later in April last year and seas were mostly good, just a little rocky a couple of days--not bad.

 

How about the weather in Italy when we land--the 24th?

We were on the NOS last April for the TA. Weather was delightful and 70s. Did not get chilly until we reached the European mainland. Expect the same. But as others indicated, weather has a mind of its own. On average April crossings on the southern route are superb.

Really wish we were able to join you all - we did the east bound TA on Navigator in November and we had a wonderful time - great weather for the whole crossing. One rocky day one day out from La Palma but apart from that it was a beautifully calm crossing on the lovely Navigator.

HI Edward 50

 

I saw you mention the price drops. Did you use a travel agent to book or did you book directly through Royal Carribean to get the onboard credits because of the price drop?

 

Our cruise price includes 2 nights in Rome, transfer from port to Rome and from hotel to airport in Rome and the flight back to Miami. Is this your package too?

 

Any information would lhelp.

 

Thanks,

I booked in Canadian directly through RCCL. Do not worry about extra days or other add-on it is the price of the room that you need to compare. If you booked on line or phone call RCCL direct. If you booked through your TA phone the TA. If the price of your room has been reducted they will apply a on board credit. Good luck.

It was the same on the Voyager TA in November/December with the same route. However, the Norwegian Gem on her way to New York on a more northerly route was rocking and rolling.

We have done 18 transatlantic crossings totalling over 300 days and to be honest the number of BAD days we have encountered would probably be less than 10 and 5 of those were on 1 crossing, percentage wise it is less than we get when we cruise the Caribbean:), have 2 more in April & October booked this year, we perhaps have been lucky but as the weather has been worldwide this winter who knows what we might encounter!!!
