Hi all, are there any chat boards that discuss transatlantic cruises?

thanks

This totally sucks for me. I can’t stand cig smoke and I’m doing a 15 night transatlantic in May.....maybe a mask would help????

😉  My happy story is our first transatlantic to Amsterdam in May....and we’ll be diamond after that...in the mean time my happy time is when I continue to research the ports...they are all new!!!

on a side note I’m really happy to see my Nephew get married in a few weeks and see my siblings...We do not close to each other...

hope you have a blessed week!!! And thanks for starting the thread!!

Anyone else having trouble getting thru??? Thanks!!!

Going to Bermuda for the first time...middle of May....where to go for snorkeling....beach or boat...

water temp?

thanks for any help!

Merry Christmas!!!

So I booked my flights months ago and I wanted to go in and check other flights..I’m worried we won’t have enough of a layover In Paris...

anyway I’m wouldn’t let me look..help please and thanks!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

Preschool Teacher,

Are you returning to JAX or is MIA your final destination? 

You would have more options for a decent connection in a US port than the AMS-CDG timing offers.  Considering how many times your schedule might change between now and next May AND you are on Delta this could be a booking factor.

I've been to both AMS and CDG in the last year and a direct flight out of either is far more preferential to a connection. Been there, done that too......

If it is a pricing issue try to keep up with fares via the Air2Sea website. Fares do fluctuate!!!!! And, not all connections are equal.

So we do live in Jacksonville but it is way more expensive to fly to Jax. It was over $2,000We did book with Air2Sea. I was going to check some different flights on Air2Sea but the website won’t let me get to flights...it says I have to call to make changes.

I do appreciate all the responses that I have gotten, it has been helpful!!!

Thanks for the replies...

we are on a Delta flight operated by Air France

leave Amsterdam at 10:30...to Paris with the layover 

it is one ticket all the way.

this is May of 2020

have the reservation, but have not paid for it yet. So no ticket has been done yet...

we booked our tickets with the Air2Sea program 

We are flying to Miami from Amsterdam. We layover in Paris. Our time there is 1 hour 40 minutes.will that give us enough time?

thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the Blue Lagoon suggestions. I’m going to check that out right now....

Coming home from Amsterdam we fly into Miami....will spend the night and fly home to Jacksonville the next morning...

would like a nice, not too expensive hotel right by the airport...

thanks for any help!!!🦋

I’m sending you prayers and blessings for your healing.

Your reviews and photos are some of the best I’ve ever seen on CC.

I know you enjoy doing them....thank you!!!😃

We love the Tahitian Inn...nice rooms, very clean, pool and grounds...

complimentary pick from airport and ride to port. Has a nice breakfast/lunch place (not free).  All this for around 150.00  It is not a chain hotel.

good luck

Awesome..hope it’s a great trip 

Way to go!!! I remember how happy we were when we made Platinum!!!!

keep on cruising!!!

This is definitely true in my case. A few years ago I did a trial pack with packing cubes (borrowed) -- it took me a lot longer to pack and in the end I wasn't able to pack as efficiently and get as much in my suitcase. (I travel with a relatively small suitcase wherever I go....)

 

Recently I was getting ready to pack for a land trip where I'd have a lot of 1-night and 2-night hotel stays. I thought maybe having the packing cubes would be worth it, since there would be so much "in and out" of the suitcase. I even bought a couple of sets. But.... I have to admit that after spending about a half hour trying to pack my case, I gave up and went back to my "tried and true" packing methodology.

 

In terms of packing without wrinkles and in packing the most in the least space, I think my method is superior to cubes. It does take time to do the packing, but then, I found that it takes time with the packing cubes too -- figuring out what can fit where, avoiding empty space, rolling and folding in different ways, etc.

 

It's just not for me. 

What is your tried and true method 

What is your tried and true method?

Thanks to everyone who replied..I really appreciate it!!!

I guess.. that is what it on the website..Air2Sea....I’m going to call them as soon as I have a chance to ask some questions.....

I was referring to The Air2Sea website...the choices are  Business class.....Standard Economy....or Mixed class....

Premium economy is not a choice....and if you choose standard economy you cannot upgrade...

Does Final payment mean before the cruise line final payment date or does it mean before you have paid in full? So we cruise next May and have already pain in full.

we did buy ins. Through RC but would also like to add medical that would include prior medical issues.

thanks!!!

It would be stopping in Paris, then on to Miami....we live in Jacksonville but it was super expensive to fly there as was Orlando...Miami was even cheaper than Atlanta...

Will it be horrible to fly that long haul in basic economy? On Delta...?

we could do United for around 200.00 more basic to Paris and then a economy plus ( or what they call it).

thank you for your help!!!!

I didn’t know anything about the miles I would earn for this flight..the info you gave me is confusing...I’ll just call and ask...Happy 4th...

Hey all, thanks so much for your help..I had checked the Air2Sea program....but I checked to fly into Jacksonville or Orlando...  2,600.00..so I did just check flights into Miami and yes on Delta I can fly for 305.00(Dollars). Delta is my go to airline...so I will get some good miles on that flight.  (I’m assuming I can attach my FF #)...

special thanks to epixx and CruiseDigits......
