newlu Posted August 1, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi, We are planning our annual women's trip, we have a choice between the week of November 10th, prior thanksgiving or November 17th (thanksgiving is the 22nd). Which week would be best, will there be tons of kids on thanksgiving week? Are there single people who travel on Thanksgiving week? Thanks PS we are looking at the Navigator, Liberty (I tried the Freedom and loved it) or the Mariner (but I have been on the Mariner also). Thanks so much newlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cot427 Posted August 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2007 yeah plenty of kids. My aunt brought her grandkids on a thanksgiving cruise last year on the navigator. She brought 6 kids with her and her kids. She said there were tons of kids on the sailing. and hey, schools on break for at least 3 days, so Vacation.

wrp96 Posted August 1, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Simple rule of thumb, if kids will be out of school even one day during a week, there will be a whole lot more kids on that sailing than other ones. So definitely a lot of kids Thanksgiving week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 1, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2007 And because it is so soon BEFORE a holiday/school break, November 10 cruise fares should be *cheap*, relatively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 1, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Price comparison for Liberty of the Seas, November 2007 November 10th sailing - 3 in a D1 - $3655 (bigger than an E) November 17th sailing - 3 in an E1 - $4517 (no D or JS available on this cruise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmatbert Posted August 1, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It's too bad you don't have the week immediately following Thanksgiving open. We sailed on Rhapsody at that time one year (before we had a child), and the crew told us that if you are looking for fewer children, that is one of the best weeks to go. The ship wasn't full at all, and we saw a total of 10 children during the 7 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a cruise the week after Thanksgiving last year and we got it for a steal. And YES I did have my young children. But there weren't ALOT of kids onboard.

BigDawgRonAZ Posted August 1, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I know when we sailed Thanksgiving week on the Voyager a few years back, the CD said the number of kids cruising that week were the 2nd most in Voyager history! Of course, two of them were mine but it was amazing! Great time to cruise if you like kids!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medfordgirl Posted August 2, 2007 #15 Share Posted August 2, 2007 we did a thanks giving on HAL, thought there wouldn't be as many kids on that ship....WRONG. Full of kids, my DH will NEVER do that again. We also did a Christmas cruise but brought our son on that one, It was for him and we expected a ton of kids, I don't think we will do that again either. Our next cruise is just after new years (JAN 05) I am hoping there will be fewer kids on that one. Love kids, have my own but when DH and I do our "alone time vacation" we prefer less children running around. The next one we book will be with our son but we will probably do it during school and let him make up the work when he gets back. He doesn't mind. Besides he is in advanced classes and stays on the honor roll, he deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
