TATL re-positioning usually has quite a few at sea day
They are selling empty rooms (sunk cost) on a ship that must sail the "re-positioning itinerary" to Europe.

Usual Atlantic crossing is 6 days or 3/3 with a Bermuda stop. Each stop cost the cruise line money in port fee and taxes.
Some enjoy these days while others find them hard to deal with.
