jadehouse Posted February 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone :) We did our 1st Cruise at the end of September last year, Western Caribbean on Freedom. It was fabulous and we enjoyed every part of it. We are looking to book another cruise this year but were thinking of November, not over Thanksgiving. Will early or mid November be much busier than September? Thank you in advance for any help :) Edited February 2, 2014 by jadehouse spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted February 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Its all the same as a rule, some weeks are slower to fill but in the end they sail at 104% every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDsquared Posted February 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We almost always sail the first few weeks of Novemeber (4 cruises so far), and not one of our ships have sailed 100% full. For example, we cruised Oasis In November and were told we were 700 under capacity. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette3028 Posted February 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We almost always sail the first few weeks of Novemeber (4 cruises so far), and not one of our ships have sailed 100% full. For example, we cruised Oasis In November and were told we were 700 under capacity. :) There is a difference when referring to 'capacity' and 'all cabins booked'. You could be on a cruise that 100% of the cabins were booked yet the ship was not at full capacity. Cabins that COULD accommodate 3, people yet only have 2 (for example) could account for the difference. When choosing a cruise taking into consideration could be important if you want to minimize the number of children on the ship....therefore don't cruise on a school holiday. Most cruises, regardless of the time of year, have all of the cabins booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyWrites Posted February 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We just cruised this January, 11th-18th. Almost no kids/teens on board, a tad of an older crowd, quiet people. We're the same, so, loved it. I've cruised during holidays, NEVER AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagledude Posted February 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The week after Thanksgiving has been our choice for the last several years. Few kids (not that I don't love kids, our adult children join us), pretty much out of the hurricane season and decent rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
