Christmas Cruise

[haagarr]

I went on a cruise a couple of years ago during the summer, it was a good experience. I have always wanted to go on a cruise during Christmas, has anybody ever gone on a cruise at Christmas time if so how was your experience?

[snowangel_x3]

I haven't, but I think I'd rather go on a cruise during the summer rather than Christmas. I like celebrating Christmas at home and not at sea on a cold boat.

That's just me though, lol.

Your probably right better off after Christmas. I rather enjoy my Christmas decorations.

I love cruising, but I can't see myself spending Christmas on a cruise. I think it would take away from the intimacy of preparing for, and celebrating Christmas in my home.

My poor cat would be so bored. She loves playing with the scraps of gift wrap paper and ribbons that fall on the floor, and loves to spend time perched on the sofa just next to the tree when it's lit.

I too love cruising!!!! I have even entertained the thought of taking the kids on a Christmas cruise. It is VERY expensive in my opinion. I think it would be very beautiful!! I would feel funny though spending Christmas away from all of our extended family. We are quite close and it wouldn't feel the same.

I wouldn't spend Christmas on a ship. After Christmas is another story.cheesy

My family and I have been what they call a Christmas Cruise, its only for a couple hours though.. the boat takes us around the huge lake to see the light displays and then to the "North Pole" to see santa... it so FUN! Nice thing about it is, children 12 and under are free so 3 of my kids are still free :)

“Journey to the North Pole Cruises”
Visit Mr. and Mrs. Claus on the far shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene (Cd'A) where at "The North Pole" a magical toyland, with a variety of holiday themes, many with animated features, will suddenly appear out of the darkness.

We had added an exciting new attraction this year, our Victorian Village is adorned with over 5,000 lights!

You will view the show aboard one of the fabulous cruise boats of The Lake Coeur d'Alene Fun Fleet.

Christmas on land.

Ya, like others said (a few) I would prefer not to have one at christmas.
I mean, Im not big into cruises anyways but maybe during summer or another time would be ok, but for me, I like christmas at home.
A cruise would be like Christmas With The Kranks (Or what they wanted to do)

[Jeff Westover]

I'm defintely sold on cruising. And I hear the cruise lines go all out for Christmas. But if they go all out for Christmas the way they go all out for everything else then I'll never do a Christmas cruise. What makes Christmas great are the subtle things, not the spectacular. Mark vote down for being home for Christmas.

I have been on a cruise before and loved it! I would not want to be away from my friends and family at Christmas though.

I wish it was in New Jersey it sounds like a really neat thing to do.

Those North Pole Cruises sound like so much fun! I don't think we have anything like that here in Orlando.

However, we do have Walt Disney World!! It is SO beautifully decorated for Christmas!!

In Downtown Disney where all the shops are, they have a make-shift ice skating rink, carolers walking around singing and the most awesome decorations. It really feels like Christmas even without snow!

The Magic Kingdom has the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade. It is AWESOME!! The entire park is decorated with Christmas everywhere.

Over at MGM Studios, they have the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights display. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! There are over 5 MILLION lights on display!! The lights "dance" to music. Every 15 minutes all of the displays will glow and dim to holiday tunes. It also SNOWS for us....okay, okay...it's soap flakes! But hey, we love it!!

Oh boy does it snow here! Its erally beautiful because the lake is surrounded by mountains covered in snow.

I think Disney World at Christmas time would be so neat to go to!

I would need to be home at Christmas but my hubby and I have been trying to plan a New Years cruise for the last 2 years....maybe next year(sigh)

Disney at the holidays is awsome. When I was litle I went twice at Christmas time, And 2 years ago my hubby and I took my step-daughters the day before Thanksgiving and it was already all Christmassy. It is definetly my favorite time of year to be there.
