What months would you recommend for a Transatlantic cruise? In the past we’ve not been interested but our best friends and cruising partners have started to mention the possibility. The husband has developed some foot and hand issues that they think might be some kind of peripheral artery disease. Still testing but walking has become more and more difficult for him so our typical cruises to destinations like the Med and all the ancient history sites are not attractive. Our initial thought was maybe a spring Ft Lauderdale to Barcelona Transatlantic at the end of the Caribbean season.
