What is it really like to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a cruise ship? In this episode of our 16-night transatlantic cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, we take you through our first two full days at sea after departing Nassau, Bahamas. The weather quickly became the story of the crossing. Rain, wind, rough seas, and a storm system that seemed determined to follow us across the Atlantic gave us an honest look at what a repositioning cruise can be like during shoulder season. Not every transatlantic cruise experiences weather like this. Many travelers enjoy calm seas and beautiful sunshine. The challenge is that these cruises are often booked months or even years in advance, making it impossible to know exactly what conditions you'll encounter. Join us as we show you what life is really like aboard Harmony of the Seas during an Atlantic crossing, including onboard activities, entertainment, dining, and how passengers spend their days when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate. If you've ever wondered whether a transatlantic cruise is right for you, this series will give you a realistic look at the experience. 🚢 Ship: Harmony of the Seas 🌎 Cruise: 16-Night Transatlantic Crossing 📍 Route: Nassau to Spain 🎥 Channel: Traveling with the Arthurs Be sure to subscribe as we continue our journey across the Atlantic and eventually arrive in Europe! #HarmonyOfTheSeas #TransatlanticCruise #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseLife #TravelingWithTheArthurs
