Turkey on Thanksgiving?

We are sailing on the Indy Nov 24 - T'giving Day. Does anyone know if they will serve a turkey dinner that evening?

Folks are reporting they will. We are on that cruise too! Planning our only MDR meal for turkey day!

Yes...on ALL holidays...Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc.... It's not bad, but the "sides" are probably not what you're used to at home...at least, they weren't the best for us! But, the actual turkey was fresh-carved.

Always turkey on Thanksgiving and mas. Most cruises have at least once on a cruise.

Brilliance had the best butternut squash risotto

Thanks everyone. We were considering Chops for the first night, but since our grands will be with us (ages 16 and 24), they would feel like they are missing something without a turkey dinner. Hope the stuffing is good!

I asked this question on CC before booking our Thanksgiving cruise and everyone said yes.

We're really looking forward to the cruise and turkey :D

That sounds amazing!

This is from last year:

I've only been aboard ship once on Thanksgiving and that was on the Majesty. Even the Windjammer had fresh turkey at the carving station during dinner.

No worries. They won't miss it!

We have been on many Thanksgiving cruises and turkey is alway served. The dinner is so-so from those in my party that ordered it (I always opt for something different).

Don't know what you consider "good" stuffing. I think it is pretty lame with very little flavor, but as is always said here food is very subjective so I hope you like it!!! Happy Thanksgiving in advance!:D

YES -- in all honesty it was very good.....and it just showed me how much turkey I overeat at home.....and therefore get overly tired at home. Portion is OK, but if you are a turkey lover, you may want to ask for two. Side dishes were fine.

Windjammer usually has turkey and fixings as well so you can enjoy Thanksgiving lunch extensively :)

They always have a turkey dinner one night during the cruise. I would think the US based cruises would set Thanksgiving for the day of the Turkey dinner.

The actual Thanksgiving meal is much nicer than the one served on Day 7 (Pomodoro menu)

The best tasting turkey I have ever eaten was on a Celebrity Thanksgiving cruise a number of years ago.

Seem to recall our Christmas cruies on The Jewel had turkey as a choice for dinner in MDR.

I would assume they would at least do something similar to this for Thanksgiving: The last time we were cruising over Christmas, on Christmas day they served whichever regular menu has turkey (sorry can't remember the name), but the dessert menu was supplemented with traditional Christmas items like pumpkin pie and Christmas pudding.

I don't know where Indy is cruising right now, but I am assuming you are on a cruise where the pax are primarily American, since that is an American holiday. (We have Thanksgiving in Canada as well, but in October).

I am so glad you brought this up! We are doing a family cruise for Thanksgiving on the Brilliance and I asked my TA this same question about a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. She said she thought so, but did not have an absolute guarantee on this. So I am glad the OP asked the question and my thanks to everyone who responded with a personal cruise experience.

Thanksgiving will also be our second formal night on Oasis, I believe. I wonder if we still get lobster that night, since they're going to have to deal with the turkey being an extra option. Has anyone experienced this?

Sorry, it was our first night on Brilliance. They'll probably just shuffle the menus. As you could see in the earlier post, it was still served with the Pomodoro menu as usual

That makes sense, thanks. I'll need to find out which night it is so I don't miss it!

We sailed several years ago during Thanksgiving and ended up in the windjammer. MDR serves a thanksgiving turkey meal but if you want a leg or wing or anything other than precarved slices then windjammer has you covered. They have bird at the carving station as well as all the usual sides.

We did Freedom last year for Thanksgiving and it fell on lobster night so they moved lobster night back a night. I don't recall if they changed the dress code as well or whether it was a casual dress lobster night.
