Transatlantic crossing - a few questions

[paulista1950]

We (my wife and I) are booked for a transatlantic crossing next year. Even we having take a few cruises before (including one on the QM2 to the Caribbean), I still have some doubts.

- which are the main differences between a crossing and a regular cruise?

- are the activities on board the same?

- how about the dress code? I heard most of the nights are formal, is that true?

- what age should I expect my fellow passengers to be?

- finally, is any transfer from the pier to central London sold aboard? If it is, how much does it cost?

 

Any other information you could provide will be appreciated.

- On a crossing you are on for 6-days without any port calls. This means no rushing around to board a tender, no worrying about making it back to the ship, being hassled at port, etc...

 

- Activities are a plenty onboard, too many to name

 

- You will prob have 3 formal nights where you will see gents in tuxes and women in nice eve gowns.

 

- You will prob find a mix of ages, most in the 40+ range

 

- You can purchase a transfer to london, prob gonna run you around $60 person, maybe a bit more
