Craft Cruising with spouse HELP

[ozzienurse]

Hello Fellow Cruisers I need your help, 

 

my HH loves cruising and I do enjoy it especially the Knit, Needle and Hook  group.

 so was looking a maybe future cruise and found a Knitting cruise, which looks very exciting 

for me but I worried about hubby. Has anyone cruise as a knitter and a no-knitter 

do they still have non crafty activity? 

Has anyone cruised as a couple on one 

 thanks

@ozzienurse do you know the size of the group on the cruise?  Assuming it's not a massive group (i.e. the group organizer hasn't booked the entire ship), then the rest of the ship will go on with business as usual with all of the normal activities and entertainment.  It's possible to book a group and reserve meeting space for the group activities, it just takes coordination and planning.  You'd probably be surprised by the number of groups booked on any given cruise.

Most of these "groups" are fairly small, compared to the total passenger numbers.  All normal activities will be up and running.  The only difference your hubby will notice is your absence at times!

Very curious about this group! Do they do regular sailings?

ETA -- Oops -- I forgot about the restriction on not posting links.  Sigh.  I am editing to take out the hyper links and make them text only.  I hope that passes muster.

 

There is this website   craftcruises dot com

 

I do not know if that is the group the OP is talking about but they do have cruises.  It seems that only knitting themed cruises currently -- while there are other craft types listed none seem to have upcoming ones scheduled.

 

I did find this group of craft cruises (seems to be mostly scrapbooking but not all):

cruiseandcrop dot com

 

Also these:

knittingtraditions dot com

melissaleapman dot com slash nautical-knitting-cruise

toursbyvogueknitting dot com

 

While some of these seem to be full, or very recently sailed or about to sail, getting in contact with the organizers might put you on email notification for upcoming options.

In response to the OP, I am the non crafty husband. My DW is a quilter and she has gone on several quilting cruises. She loves the classes and activities for the quilters. I have never had trouble finding plenty of other activities to occupy my time while she is busy with her sewing. The percentage of crafters in comparison to the remaining passengers is usually relatively small. 

There will be plenty of non craft related events listed in the daily bulletin, the usual trivia, lectures, bingo, art auctions, casino, shows, etc...

The restaurants and bars will be operating and eating and drinking can occupy large portions of your day 🤣

Best wishes and good luck.
