phrankbama Posted March 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted March 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2012 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 . . .

matj2000 Posted March 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toberman Posted March 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2012 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.

SadieN Posted March 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2012 We did this last Thanksgiving on the Spirit and would do it but next year DD will be home from college over Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralynn Posted March 30, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2012 We cruise every Thanksgiving and absolutely love it. I can't think of a better way to spend the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2012 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
