In 1990 my family sailed Carnival for the Christmas cruise. I think I have the wrong ship name in my signature, so I will clarify that later. The ship was at maximum capacity, but what a fantastic time we had! Christmas morning was picture perfect in St. Thomas and we all still talk about that holiday.

 

The kids in my party had a great time and I loved the freedom of doing what I wanted. I would expect more children on the Thanksgiving cruise as well, but I don't remember kids being a problem on the ship and I am definitely "into" kids on my holidays. You should expect so have a lot of people on the ship, but you would on any ship at anytime so I don't think it's a big deal. You are going on your honeymoon, right? Try some intimate restaurants with tables for two and you won't know anyone is on that ship with you. I regret not going on a cruise for my honeymoon as we chose a land package to Tahiti and I guarantee you will have a better time!

 

Sorry for the babbling. It's late, I'm tired, and too excited for cruising!

Holiday sailings are typically sold out months in advance, and typically overflowing with kids.

 

With one exception, Celebrity's adults-only 11-day cruise over New Years. I am *so* there.

 

Eleven cruises so far. Up next:

Shhhh, it's a surprise!

Followed by:

Carnival Valor 10/30/05 CC Group

And then:

Carnival Spirit 12/10/05 Mexican Riviera

Perhaps something else as well. Watch this space.

 

Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, and work when somebody's watching.
