One of my long time wishes was to do a transatlantic cruise. As a child my Grandmother talked of her crossings from Britain to come to Canada. She did it 3 times and absolutely loved it.
I have finally fulfilled that dream ,
in April sailing from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton.
14 days, 6 of which were at sea. I chose Princess cruise lines Crown Princess.
My cabin was window view with lots of room for a single.

Was 6 days too long to not visit a port? Not for me. The ship was large enough that I explored all the venues. Lots of activities , several of which were origami.

Plaza was a lovely spot to people watch.

 |
| Princess Theater some very good entertainment. |
 |
| bundled up for movie watching in the evening |
One of my most favourite things I did was Lido deck watching first run movies in the afternoon but best was the evening with plaid blankets, popcorn and maybe a cocktail.
 |
| afternoon movies as well. |

Evenings I found special little spots to enjoy a cocktail or 2. Crooners bar and Wheel House Bar with the ambiance I enjoyed.....

Attended lectures on ports of call ahead. Felt absolutely spoiled.
Next up some of the wonderful ports I found so interesting.
