Cruising during Thanksgiving week

[phrankbama]

Anyone have any thoughts, both positive and negative about cruising during the week of Thanksgiving? With 2 kids in college, in entering the workforce next summer, it may be the only time we can find a week to sail.

most ships will offer a turkey dinner on that night . . .

 

one of our best Thanks' memories is of being in Cayman and enjoying a dinner of turtle cordon bleu for Thanksgiving dinner . . .

If it is the only possibility, then go for it.

We have cruised the last two T-givings and it is really no different than anytime else.

There is alot of familys and the weather is always great.

We only do it because our kids school gets the entire week off and it is less expensive than Xmas & New Years.

 

It is always nice to say you are in Belize or Cozumel on the Thanksgiving day...

Cruising is great over Thanksgiving... more families than before and after due to school breaks (but less walkers and scooters). :)

Just keep in mind, if you have to fly... the most expensive time to fly in the US is the Sunday after. In fact I was just checking today for flights on or about thanksgiving and they are 3X higher (for me) on the Sunday after thanksgiving than the week before or after.

We did this last Thanksgiving on the Spirit and would do it but next year DD will be home from college over Thanksgiving.

We cruise every Thanksgiving and absolutely love it. I can't think of a better way to spend the holiday.

We sailed this past Thanksgiving for two weeks on Nieuw Amsterdam and it was wonderful. We really enjoyed ourselves and wouldn't hesitate to go again.

 

Turkey dinner was so much better than we ever expected it to be. Our steward saw to it we got servings just the way we like it. :)
