Wj420 Posted April 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2016 45-55 mph winds with seas 12-15 feet. Rainy and very " an affair to remember"! The ship is amazingly steady though not many passengers seem to up and around. After 7 beautiful days of crossing we were due. Tomorrow we get to Lisbon. The eight seas days are going so quickly. What a relaxing voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmaanne7 Posted April 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Love those transatlantic sea days! Glad that the ship is steady for you. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Sent from my SM-G386W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted April 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sounds like the tail end of our Tasmen Sea crossing last November. Two days of pleasant seas followed by a few hours of 60 knot winds and huge seats as we came out of Doubtful Sound. The ship did handle it well but we were forced to skip Dusky Sound and beat our way around to the calmer side of the the South Island. Please take care of "our" ship. We are booked for a Sept 3 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a relaxing voyage! You are approaching the 'Bay.' Glad your seas are only 12-15 ft!:eek: Try 40ft, which we encountered leaving Bilbao in Oct 2015 on Infinity. The Captain had asked to stay in port, but was told by Miami that we would be safer at sea ( the ship would have been damaged by being beaten against the sea wall) We were in an upgraded FV cabin corner (9156) and slid up and down the bed, as the ship rolled from side to side. The contents of the fridge emptied, so I have vowed to stick to my booked mid ships cabin in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a couple of nights fearing the ship might split in half (Disney ship and we saw how they built it!) and almost kissing the ground when getting back, we also now always try to book midship.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaB Posted April 18, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You'll be glad to get to Portugal! We had 20 ft. seas for about a day and a half on a westbound TA a few years ago, just outside of Spain. We missed two days in the Azores as scheduled and had two days in northern Spain instead. Apparently we missed 40-50 ft. seas. I can't even imagine what that would be like. 20 ft. was enough! We aren't bothered by them, as far as seasickness (thank goodness) but walking straight was kind of an adventure and showering - I had to laugh the entire time! Half the ship was sick and things were rocking and rolling all over the ship, dining venues were half empty. I felt bad for those affected by motion.

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted April 18, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We used to live in Cascais, just outside Lisbon. April can be very beautiful in Portugal or it can be a little rainy. I hope you have the beautiful part. You deserve it after a rough sailing. Have a wonderful time in this beautiful, historic city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
