gbpakrfan Posted September 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thinking about cruising Thanksgiving week - wondering if anyone out there has done this before? Right now, I'm looking at shorter cruises to Bahamas or Caribbean as airfare during this week is outrageous! Although I would really like to do a 7 day Eastern Car. trip. I am wondering if there will be a lot of families/kids - what should I expect on board? I ask because I took a Carnival 4 day cruise in late June/early July and it was full of teenagers with their parents - not the most enjoyable atmosphere. Lesson learned on that. Thanks!

tonit964 Posted September 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2010 This will be our third Thanksgiving cruise. We have done 7 days or longer and Mexico, there are lots of families on board so I would assume it is the same for shorter caribbean cruises as well. It's a fun time to cruise. :) Enjoy your cruise!

6rugrats Posted September 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2010 If you want to avoid lots of kids, this is not the best time for you to cruise. You will find lots of kids onboard for any holiday/vacation time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2010 We have done several Thanksgiving cruises -- LOTS of children on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjbobalou Posted September 22, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2010 If you could go on a 10 or 14 day you can avoid kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvTheGoodLife Posted September 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2010 After 1 Thanksgiving cruise, we pick another week - way too many kids, lines everywhere, hard to find buffet tables, hard to find sun loungers by pool.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullaRaffaello Posted September 23, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think it depends on the line and the itinerary. I was on a Seabourn Spirit transatlantic crossing last year during Thanksgiving and not one child was abord. Of course, there were only 185 adults abord. I'll be on the Legend's crossing this year over Thanksgiving and am looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
