The itinerary.
I learned that a Transatlantic should not be attempted in November. The first four days of the cruise were ruined by rough weather. Many suffered from sea sickness, but worse for me was the impossibility of sleeping - not just the motion, but the terrible creaking. The long haul at sea seemed unnecessary as we sailed right through the Azores on , what , day 4. Why not get off? As others have mentioned, the Caribbean Islands were largely miss-able - especially St. Thomas (what a Hell hole!). This was exacerbated by the ludicrous three hour immigration procedure. Just CUT ST.THOMAS OUT!
