…ferent pace, rhythm, and experience. Myth #2: Repositioning Cruises = Transatlantic Cruises While the majority are Transatlantic crossings (spring and autumn), that’s far from the only type.

…w places, although friends of mine came back from a 16 night Caribbean and Atlantic Crossing with stops in Europe only getting off in one port.

Now that the QM2 is doing the regular crossings now, our only chance was this one which is the first leg of the 2005 World Cruise. We were in Queen’s Grill in 8006, which is a Q2 Penthouse Suite. The crossing (as was winter)was rough at the beginning, which meant the ship was quiet…

You need to get to the area early as there is very limited parking along the roads above the beach. Then once there you will need to walk down the steps down the cliffs above the beach.
