This looks like one fabulous cruise. I have done several Transatlantic crossings. The only rough one was on the QE2 in December. There was snow on the decks and the pax were confined to indoors. The best T.A. crossings have been on the very much smaller Sea Goddess ships (more like yachts). We sailed several times from (either Portugal, Canary Isles) to the Caribbean. I found the South Atlantic cruises in late November to be wonderful; very relaxing, great weather and very CALM waters. Nothing more relaxing than days at sea. The only dicey water you may encounter is out of VCE. The sailing out of Tenerife is very calm and beautiful. I'm sure you'll love it.
