SuiteCruisin14 Posted July 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2014 We will be doing a TA from London to Miami in October. What kind of weather should we expect and is a balcony worth the money? First TA and with 10 days at sea, wonder if we will be crazy in an inside or picture window. Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagetek23 Posted July 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I did a nine day crossing on an inside. I was working but it was still ok. Just think you are at a resort and no problems. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted July 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have done 3 transatlantic crossings, one in an ocean view, one in an inside and one in a balcony. My next TA is in November on the Epic, and Ill be in a balcony. I really enjoy spending large parts of those leisurely sea days on the balcony. As far as weather goes, my two November crossings from Barcelona were wonderful. Calm seas and about 80 degrees on the crossing. The eastbound one I just completed also had calms seas but it was cooler since we were headed to England. Hope this helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2014 One thing about weather is you never know but a southern crossing is much better than the northern crossing. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMCAT22 Posted July 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have done several TA's and I would say go for Oceanview or balcony.It can be very rough on a TA for a couple of days and it's hard to take rough seas in an inside with no horizon for reference. Also had TA's where it's been flat calm all the way,it really is a lottery.If you plan for a couple of rough days then anything better is a bonus. TA's are my favourite cruise type as I just love sea days onboard a ship.Enjoy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted July 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Pack at least one pair of shorts! On my crossing I had some coolie pants and a skirt, but I was wishing I had tossed in shorts, it was so warm! Actually I would have been better off with just one pair of trousers instead of the 3 that I packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteCruisin14 Posted July 6, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks all for the info. Sailing from London to Miami so guess the first few will be cooler. We have an inside booked but we are watching prices. Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
