One mega ship. Two mature travelers. Fourteen days cruising from Barcelona to Miami.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to cruise across the Atlantic Ocean with more than 4,000 passengers, this travel memoir is for you. It answers questions like: Are the crowds crushing? Is the food boring? Is the experience a “get me outta here” nightmare or a dream-come-true adventure?
The warm, personal, often humorous observations of Sunny and Al Lockwood will introduce you to colorful characters, enchanting sunsets, and authentic experiences that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.
At the time of their sailing, Norwegian Cruise Line’s 19-deck Epic was the third largest cruise ship in the world.
From a shore excursion to the highest clifftop in Europe and a jaw-dropping confrontation on a sun-drenched Caribbean beach, to the various moods of an ever-surrounding sea, you’ll find this transatlantic trip unforgettable.
And there are plenty of behind-the-scenes nuggets including conversations with Epic’s captain, cruise director, hotel director and executive chef.
Whether you prefer poolside relaxation, casino excitement or the after-dark romance of star-gazing, Cruising the Atlantic will sweep you away with its scenic beauty, delicious humor and the ever-present, ever-changing sea.
This travel memoir follows two others describing the Lockwoods’ 2014 European travels: Cruising the Mediterranean and Finding Ourselves in Venice, Florence, Rome & Barcelona.
Al and Sunny Lockwood are also the authors of Cruising Panama’s Canal, a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards.
