My wife and I are on the Oct. 29 repositioning of Symphony. This will be our 6th transatlantic repositioning cruise. We really enjoy them but you have so many consecutive sea days that you really need a great ship like Symphony which has lots of activities and things to see and do on the ship. Symphony should be perfect. What we realized in the past on transatlantic cruises is that you should definitely fly to Europe a couple of days early to be able to see the departure city. Since many of the RC transatlantics leave from Barcelona, we found that airfares within Europe are pretty cheap. If you are like us and have seen Barcelona several times you can pick another city in Europe you have always wanted to see and fly there for a couple of days and then catch a flight to Barcelona the day before the cruise leaves. That way you can see one of your favorite European cities you haven't seen. You have lots to choose from! In our case we will be flying into Lisbon for 3 days before flying to Barcelona.
