The guide brought you here, this is where it goes deeper. We have built out a full Working Remotely classroom inside this community. It covers everything the guide introduced: gear, connectivity, routines, which ships work best, time zones, where to actually sit and work, all of it, based on real experience across multiple cruises all over the world. 👉 Head to the Classroom tab and look for: “Working Remotely From Cruise Ships, The Complete Guide” If you have got a question the guide or classroom doesn’t answer, post it below. Someone here has probably already figured it out.

We are now one week into our 15 night transatlantic on Odyssey of the Seas, and I thought I would share a few honest takeaways that you don’t fully understand until you’re actually onboard. We have done transatlantic cruises before, so none of this surprised us, but it’s very different when you are living it day to day. The biggest one is the pace. There is no pressure at all. No port days breaking things up, no alarms, no rushing around trying to fit everything in. You properly slow down, and you actually get time to enjoy the ship rather than just using it as a base between destinations. The second thing is how much the weather impacts your experience. The first few days we had 17ft waves, outside decks closed, pools drained, and everything moved indoors. When that happens, the ship does feel busier in certain areas, especially if people are trying to work or find space to sit. It’s something people don’t always think about. On that note, if you are planning to work remotely onboard, finding sockets can be a bit of a challenge when everyone is inside. We have been absolutely fine because we brought a portable charger, but it’s definitely something I’d recommend bringing. What I have enjoyed most though is the routine. We have fallen into a really nice rhythm with work, gym, food, and then relaxing in the afternoons. It just feels easy, and you don’t feel rushed at all. The crowd onboard feels different as well. It is a lot more chilled, people aren’t in a rush to get anywhere, and the whole atmosphere reflects that slower pace. For us, this is exactly why we love transatlantic cruises. It’s not about ticking things off, it’s about enjoying the time onboard. That said, I still wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. If you like constant sunshine, busy days, and lots of ports, this probably isn’t the cruise for you.😅 But if you want to slow down and actually enjoy the ship, it’s one of the best ways to cruise. I have asked this before I think but we have lots new members… what do you prefer? Busy port days or sea days?!🛳️🌊

I went to the Top Tier event yesterday morning, where they break down how many from each loyalty tier are onboard, the captin chats to you and you get to meet more of the crew with lots of free drinks! We discovered there was over 900 first time cruisers on board this transatlantic cruise!! That is a lot of first time cruisers. This sailing so far has been rough, with no outside decks open and very much stuck inside. Of course, there is plenty of activities for people of all ages, but I think this type of cruise for a first time cruise is not be the best? The boat has been rocking quite badly, it is not your typical sitting outside by the pool with a cocktail vibe. 👀😆 What do you think? Would you do a transatlantic for your first cruise?
