My mom wants to go on a cruise during Christmas. My brother's b-day is two days before and we want to do something different for both.

So we found two of the newer Carnival ships. (Can't remember which ones...sorry ; )

They both leave on the 22. One, we can the b-day and Christmas at sea. And another,Christmas in Mexico and Bahamas B-day.

But how many teens come on a Christmas cruise?

And if you been on a hoilday cruise, how was it? Details, people, details!!!! lol.

It looks really nice. Esp after going on all the older ships that have that tacky neon stuff everywhere... this one looks way more classy.
I like colors and this one looks really colorful in a good way and I like how all the public rooms are named after colors... good play up on the theme.

Yeahh..my mom is thinking of booking carnival glory for december 15 .. score! I didn't know that all the rooms were based on colors, but that would make since, because when i looked at pictures there was like a blue room and stuff like that..haha wow im dumb.

i went on a christmas cruise in 2004. on carnival miracle. not many teens. i really only hung out with like a group of 10. probably a group for 25 went to the teen club. i've seen more teens the week before xmas. and over the summer. there was a decent amount.

I've taken Christmas cruises in 2005 and 2006 and although the number of teens was high, the attendance of activities and stuff was low. The directors onboard the Mariner attributed it to the teens spending a lot of time with families. IMO its better to take the cruise right after christmas that goes through new years. Plus theres that new years kiss thing...

Ahhh... the New Year Kiss....

Yeah, I can see myself kissing a cutie boy whose first name I don't even know....

Wait... I do that now... lol.

Gotta love them cruises!
