Jeff&Mel Posted December 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2015 To Pack :( Cruising 2 days after Christmas... Never should have booked a Christmas time cruise! To many things going on with the Holidays.... We are cruising on the Grandeur for the first time- also our first Caribbean. Give me some motivation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted December 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2015 With just my husband & I at home, family in another State we have talked about going on a Christmas/NY's cruise and I am anticipating the ship being decorated, bringing in the NY's and enjoying the entertainment. Instead of being at home alone, with no family we would find no problem looking forward to the Holidays on board a ship and getting involved with the caroling. Look ahead to spending your Holidays cruising and the festivities that will go along with it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spazzyjanet Posted December 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm right there with you! Hard to direct myself to packing when we still have to wrap all of the kids' presents for their surprise early Christmas tomorrow.... Packing for 5. Yikes. And I still have two days of work to get through, making it even harder to get into that 'mode' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincicruisers Posted December 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Take off your cloths and step outside. You will get cold quick. Run back in and start packing for a cruise to sunny warm ports. Repeat as needed to keep motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyPC Posted December 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 19, 2015 We have never cruised the holidays before. First December cruise in 2016. Looking forward to seeing how nicely the ship will be decorated! Very exciting. I hope you enjoy yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff&Mel Posted December 20, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted December 20, 2015 MAN!! Thanks everyone!! OK- reading all these posts is getting me excited- FINALLY :) I LOVE to dress for dinner so tonight I put together my dinner outfits for each night with coordinating jewelry and shoes :) That is the hardest part of my packing. The rest will be a breeze :) Thank you all- you have no idea how much this helped :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkard Posted December 20, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Just got off Grandeur yesterday. Ship is decorated beautifully, the crew was wearing Santa hats and everyone (with only a few passengers who would be miserable no matter what) was in the holiday spirit. We came home with lots to do before Christmas but we didn't think about it while we were cruising. Outside on Deck 5 is a great place to relax and get away from all the hustle and bustle. Hard to be stressed out sitting in a deck chair with your feet propped on the railing just watching the ocean glide by. Enjoy your cruisr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
