Thanksgiving cruise

Who has cruised on Thanksgiving Day? My friend and I are sailing the Independence, departing on Thanksgiving Day. Is there anything that will be significantly different from any other cruise? (Other than we won't be celebrating at home.)

There will be a turkey and dressing choice in the MDR on Thanksgiving.

They will start to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving.

Have cruised Thanksgiving week 3 times. Always have a great time, and it’s always a special time.

Thanksgiving dinner is fabulous, and as Bob stated, it’s awesome waking up Friday and the Christmas decorations are up.

Speciality restaurants will cost more than usual.

It's always a fabulous time. Do expect the ship to be full of kiddos (including my grandson whom we bring along).

Ours are the same price. Also the same price on our New Year's Eve sailing although some report otherwise.

Turkey dinner...decorations on the table..that's about it. Thanksgiving is an AMERICAN holiday...and the ship and crew are NOT American!

Too many children, lousy turkey dinner , you will see a Christmas tree

Day after you will wake to ship all decorated for Christmas and hear Holiday music...

Santa comes every week threw the Holiday's

There is turkey on every cruise.

We cruised many times on thanksgiving week on several lines, on costa a long time ago waiter told us on thanksgiving that they offered turkey but just to the Americans, we decilined the offer,

We use to cruise over Thanksgiving on the Grandeur. We loved to watch the ship be decorated for Christmas. When they switched to a 8 day cruise we no longer cruise in that time frame. There are too many kids on the shorter sailing. The past few years they have a 12 day that leaves the Sat after Thanksgiving and that is when we cruise now. Very few kids and the ship looks beautiful for Christmas.

Do you think it is the same way on the 12 night cruise that returns on Thanksgiving Day (in regards to having few kids)? We are on that one this year but have not sailed at that time before.

There should be fewer kids on that cruise also since the cruise is before most Thanksgiving vacations begin. I know in PA the kids do not get out of school until the day before Thanksgiving and go back either that Monday or Tuesday. I know I would not have taken my kids out of school for that long before a holiday.

Butternut squash risotto is to die for.

But, DUH...most of the passengers are AMERICAN and the ship and the crew tend to cater to and want to make the passengers' cruise experience as enjoyable as possible so they will come back. Does this make any sense at all to you?:rolleyes: Probably not!
