Trip was wonderful but we all just wished they had done more to celebrate Thanksgiving and make it special on the trip. Other than serving turkey and ham tget really didn’t do anything to celebrate such as decorating for the holiday.

Had a wonderful time but wouldn’t do a holiday cruise again. They don’t make the holiday special enough and guess we just expected more

Super!

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was adequate but cabin steward was amazing. I was a little disappointed in size as I tried to upgrade and didn’t get the room I expected to get.

Ship tip

Make dining room reservations even if you have anytime dining.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Getting Off the ship was great but The pick up upon returning was awful. They really need to separate Uber/taxis/Lyft to another area as they don’t know who they are getting and it ties up traffic for everyone else. They should be sent to a different area so they can search easier since more time is needed to find people they don’t know. Someone needs to be directing traffic also, I was in the street trying to move cars it was a disaster and no one to help organize it.

Now you know that cruising for Thanksgiving is not what you want. If you want to celebrate, do it at home.

Sorry if this comes across the wrong way but why would you expect them to do anything special for Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is specifically an American activity not worldwide like Christmas and New Years.

Don't do anything for our Thanksgiving in October either. Christmas and New Year cruises are the best for holiday celebrations

We like cruising in December because they do have Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree. We also just went on Symphony of the Seas over Halloween and they really didn't do much decorating for that either.
