Looking forward to a wonderful cruise. Unlike Christmas Day, Mothers Day falls on different dates in different countries. So my guess, and it is only a guess, is probably not! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with Americans being such a high percentage of the total, it's possible. I doubt whether O is programmed to deal with other nationalities "important dates" and we'd just have to fend for ourselves. Bearing in mind the generally elderly make-up of O's guests, I wonder how many are travelling with their mothers. Edited May 2 by Harters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen O celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, Chinese New Years and several different religions important dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think many---but I do think that many/most of the female passengers on board are mothers! Or Grandmothers/Great-Grandmothers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be different in the States but, in the UK, Mothers Day would usually be an occasion where the children do "something" for their mother. Not an occasion where Mum celebrates her day on her own (or just with partner). Hence my question about folk travelling with their parent. Back in the distant past when my parents were alive, Mothering Sunday was a religious event. In more recent times, it has morphed into the American Mothers Day.

AMHuntFerry Posted May 2 #7 Share Posted May 2 And then there are those who avoid being in public on Mother's Day for a variety of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlover12 Posted May 2 #8 Share Posted May 2 I was on Regatta a few years ago on Mothers Day. It was also a sea day and we were sailing off the coast of California. The majority of passengers were American. No special brunch or anything. The only thing they did was the cruise director wished all mothers aboard a Happy Mother’s Day over the PA. Enjoy your cruise and have a Happy Mother’s Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
