Who's cruising THIS Christmas or New Years?

We have some wonderful holiday sailings to look forward to in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Anyone cruising THIS Christmas or New Years or both?

Tell us where you're sailing!

Me! Just left a message for everyone on the Cunard board Nick. I'm heading off for QM2 she departs on December 19th for a 15 night sailing out of Fort Lauderdale. I'll be sure to take lots of photos so everyone knows what to expect next year!

Me too!! I'm leaving on Thursday, also for Fort Lauderdale to sail on Grand Princess also departing on Dec 19th. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Have a great time Ed and Betty! Who else sails for the holidays this year?

alas, not us. We fly out 12/22 for Calif and fly home 12/31.

Heading home for the holidays Susan? Sometimes that's even better!

Sailing on Navigator of the Seas on December 24!! Can't wait!!

Bon Voyage and safe travels to everyone heading out! Have a great time and don't forget to check in with live reports and post detailed reports on your cruises when you return!

Thanks Michele, we will!

Happy travels everyone,
Please post back reports and pictures of all of your travels so we can live vicariously through them to tide us over until our next cruise! We just got back 10 days ago, and we are already having cruise withdrawal symptoms. Happy holidays tp all,
kk

kk99,

Do you notice that the withdrawal symptoms usually start kicking in at the airport as you are waiting to fly home?

kk99, I thought you were a strong Cruise Critic member, what brings you our way? Just curious

Being an active CC member doesn't preclude anyone from being an active CF member.

True enough, I guess I'm just being nosey

The only traveling I am doing this year is to and from the Kitchen. After the nightmare drive to Baltimore for Thanksgiving I am happy to say...I'm staying home. Going to cook the family a wonderful Christmas dinner then I am going on a Diet. If i don't go on a diet soon I will not be able to lay on any beach next year. People will keep trying to push me back in the watter. I can hear the kids now. "Look mommy it's a furry whale." I will have to wear a sign. "I AM NOT FREE WILLY DAMMIT!!!"

Oh and how funny is that the same day Nick startes a Cookie thread that I get an e-mail from Tina about a diet web-site. I was so confused. Do you want me pleasantly plump or painfuly skinney. Uhoh...you will have to excuse...me new puppy just walked by with the cat in her mouth. Dang Rotties..

Oh I forgot....to all those who are traveling this holiday. Please have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My Christmas wish is for all of everyone to return home safely.

I plan on going on a diet after Christmas. No way do I plan to miss the dinner I am cooking. So rather than starting a diet now and blowing it I figured I would wait.

Doing the 7 fishes feast Ron?

No fish this time around. Turkey, Ham, Sweet Potato, Lasagna, artichoke, squash, bread, etc, etc.

Nick, the feast of seven fishes is usually Christmas Eve... For those who don't have a clue what we're talking about, it's an Italian tradition. Your Christmas Eve dinner is usually 7 types of fish - an yes it's as hard as it sounds. We do calamari, shrimp, crab, lobster, stuffed flounder, linguini with clam sauce, and, Ceasar salad with anchovies (so it counts towards the 7).

Sounds identical to what we do! And, yes, my bad, I should have clarified and said Christmas Eve.

I forgot to add - then you have a dessert of alka seltzer and pepcid AC!!
