Veendam Transatlantic, April 2007

[SusieKay]

Hello All, I just found this board at the suggestion of "venicecruiser" Claudia.
Thanks, Claudia.

I have not booked this cruise yet, but am considering it. Hubby and I are veteran HAL cruisers, but have never been transatlantic. My main concern is that I don't know what type of weather to expect, especially on the transatlantic portion. Host Doug replied that since this is a more southerly route, air temps should be "springlike" in the 50's to low 60's. But what is typical for winds and seas?. It is usually rough? I know sea conditions can change at any time, I am just trying to find out what is usual for this time of the year in this part of the Atlantic. Has anyone actually experienced a similiar crossing in April?.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
SusieKay

We did a crossing this year the first of May, and the sea was like a lake with people out by the pool sunbathing.
