Just got off the Star Legend’s December 3rd transatlantic. I’ll start by saying the trip was absolutely wonderful, as always. But a very large, unusual tropical system in the Atlantic caused the conditions to be rough for about 9-10 days with high winds and big seas - 10-20’ depending on the day! The captain made the good decision to go further south before turning west toward Miami and we were glad for it!
But we picked the right cabin for the rough conditions. Cabin 438, deck 4 mid ships, was perfect during even the roughest seas. Though we could feel the impact, we didn’t get the pounding that our friends experienced on higher decks towards the bow and stern. Many were under the weather. Though there were only 136 passengers on board for the crossing, there were a couple days/nights when we felt like we were on a private yacht…”where is everyone??”. We took Bonine (meclazine) daily for the first 10 days - one for me and two for my husband - and we were fine. We can’t say enough about the comfort of the cabin, the wonderful head with spacious shower and we slept like babies in the rocking seas.
Can’t wait for next year’s TA - on the Surf next year!
