Thread: Transatlantic San Juan to Barcelona 4/18/09

Hey y'all!

Who is sailing with Bob and me on this transatlantic cruise? Let's get some dialog going.

This is going to be a really fun cruise! Won't you join us?

Haven't been in this part of Europe in a long time! Summit is the only Millie-class ship we haven't sailed on yet.

Fancy meeting you here!

We like the Summit.....did Panama Canal and a Hawaii cruise on her. The Constelation is the only Millie class we haven't sailed yet.

This will be our 6th crossing.

I've never been at sea for 5 days in a row so I'm a bit nervous about that

You will have a great time on the 5 days at sea! The weather should be good out of San Juan and we are taking the southern route. Should get a littler cooler as we approach the Canaries and once we go through Gibralter it will be cooler yet....unless they have unusually warm April weather.

Are you getting to San Juan a day early or flying in on the day of the cruise?

We are arriving on Friday afternoon and staying at a boutique hotel along with some other folks who are on this sailing.

Who are you sailing with? You haven't mentioned a DH, but did mention your mom on your Panama Canal cruise.

I'm sailing with my parents. I always make them take me with them lol. It was alot easier to revolve my high school and even college life around cruises, but it's alot trickier to get out of work now (We actually had to leave my older sister at home during that holiday Panama Canal cruise because of HER work!) Anyway, I do have a DH, somewhere out there, I just haven't found him yet!!!

I have to ask my mom about our flight plans, she's always the one who plans everything. But she usually books through the cruise line, so most likely we will be arriving in SJ the day we sail away.

Thanks for all the weather info! It can still be a bit chilly around here even in April so the warmer weather will be welcomed.
