Best Answer

The Queen Mary 2 was built for transatlantic crossings, but much smaller ships can make the crossing easily. In 1995, I crossed the Atlantic from New York to the Azores on the Royal Princess (which was not the same ship as the current Royal Princess), which was about one fourth the size of the QM2. Just about any seaworthy passenger ship can navigate the Atlantic safely, if not comfortably.

How are bulkheads different from baffles?

A bulkhead is a nautical term for a "wall" in a ship. It is a structural element and a load bearing division of a vessel, and it can run beam to beam or fore and aft. Bulkheads could separate something like the grain storage compartments in a barge, or could run along either side of a passageway on a cruise ship. A baffle may provide some structural support, but it is a partition with holes in it. We'll see baffles in something like the fuel tanks of large ships. The baffles will inhibit the movement of fuel from one side of the vessel to the other as it rolls in seas, and this will increase stability dramatically.

Do cell phones work on cruise ships?

New advances in cell phone tower technology are coming into play on many cruise lines! Cingular has just implemented towers aboard all NCL cruise ships that will provide you with a reliable cell-phone connection (at a premium) you can use anywhere on the vessel. Check with your cruise line before you sail. It may be cheaper, however, to use the landlines in each of the ports of call with international calling cards. Whatever you do, try to avoid dialing out from your cabin. Those calls typically run $5.95/minute domestic and $6.95/minute international. Happy Sailing!
