Anyone sailed across the Atlantic before?

On a cruise ship that is, not in a dinghy

Myself and my gf are thinking of going to NY and then into Canada next year, and I'm thinking of sailing over there and flying back. A direct crossing is 6 days but I'm seen some 10-14 day crossings from Europe that look good too.

Just wondering if anyone's ever done it, what they thought of the crossing and ship etc. We're looking to go in November, so it's not going to be warm I shouldn't think!

Well I've done a bit of it in a tall ship, and that was from the Azores upwards to Ireland, does that count?

Awesome experience tbh. 9 days - some rough, some calm, lots of hard physical work to do on board but exhilarating. Sadly the transatlantic voyages take rather longer at 20 days or so - though I would LOVE to do one.

I would assume quite a few people attempt this for the challenge, no?

I would assume the opposite and say not many people try it , or even think of it for that matter

very few attempt it actually!

They capsized in 30ft seas, luckily a passing oil tanker picked them up, very close from what i gather!

I only got half way.
The ship was called the Titanic.

That did cross my mind, I'll have to pack a spare yacht in case of emergency
