I was on the Atlantic Adventurer last October. (It was 45 days long last year.) It was wonderful! I may do it again. The Maasdam is my favorite ship. It is smaller and the crew is outstanding. There was always something going on on sea days, especially the "crossings." Lecturers, cooking lessons, book discussion group. I made some good friends on that trip, and I hope you will too.:)

I have back problems, and the inside cabins have a step-in shower rather than a tub which is a problem for me to step over and into. I now go on LONG cruises and would never be able to afford them if I could not travel more economically in an inside cabin. I was upgraded once to a full suite. It was a total waste. I was never in it. I travel solo and like to meet new people. There is nothing like meeting wonderful people for breakfast in the early morning in the Lido and then going outside and watch the sunrise with newfound friends. That's what it's all about for me.;)

I was on the 45-day Maasdam cruise with the two dogs, both of which were service dogs...one to pick up on epileptic seizures and one to deal with panic attacks. Really amazing.
