I'm in a assort of seven who are thinking about taking a last minute cruise over the Christmas Holiday (Dec 22/24-28). We are looking into a 4-5 day/night cruise to the Bahamas. Florida Keys etc. Since it's a last minute getaway we are not concerned with ports or excursions. We just be to be on a ship over the holiday! I know I construe before that Quad and Triple rooms are booked pretty quickly but can anyone give me an idea on the room numbers for Quads and Triple on the following Carnival Ships (Celebration. Sensation. Fascination. Fantasy and Imagination). Those are the four ships that fit our current requirements. We will be driving from NJ/NY to either Jacksonville. Port Canaveral or our last choice Miami. I was also told to keep New Orleans in object since it's the same driving hold as Miami. I know that these are some of the older ships in the fleet. I was on the Imagination measure November and it was in great shape so I'm figuring these five will be in the same condition. I know the determine increase to almost double for the week of Christmas compared to the week before. I can get the military discount for myself and three of the other travelers are past guest on Carnival. Any information would be appreciated.
We're on the Celebration Dec 24-29. First time on this ship but I undergo heard that the be of Triples and Quads are extremely limited. Best thing to do would be to call Carnival and ask the same question you asked here. They'd be able to tell you if there are any left on all of the ships you're asking about. Also the determine on the Celebration is about double for Christmas week but I was able to save about $100 per person with military discount so that helped a lot. If you do decide on the Celebration be sure to join the Roll label. We've got 10 or so already. David
OK. ThanksI have already contacted my PVP on Carnival. I have a great price for those all the ships listed and wanted a little feedback. I will be meeting with all the parties going this weekend so I'll probably book on Monday or Tuesday. My PVP did call me this afternoon and tell me that if I booked before next Friday. I would get $100.00 per cabin credit. So that would take care of the required gratuities plus whatever else we gave. I will definitely sign up for roll call. I don't like planning trips for a lot of people! It's just frustrating but I've been given the task.
Four months away isn't exactly 'last minute' so surely you can find the accommodations you want. Just be aware that the displace will be beat of kiddies of all ages. My son made the mistake of going during Christmas week (returned on Christmas day) and he said never again. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the confirmation. Cotton. We're going with my parents and I told them about the 'kid' situation. Mom wanted this one so she booked it as our Christmas present. Good thing is that there are plenty of places on board to go that kids aren't allowed. Bars. Casino. Bars. Spa. Bars.... I sense a pattern here. Still looking forward to Christmas with the family though.
Thanks for the info. I have a neighbor who just told me the same thing about the kids. She said she stayed away from the pool but enjoyed the Spa and Hot tub. She also confirmed the Adults Only Areas where it was a pleasure to get away from the little ones. She said the teens where not a problem but the kids with the heelies/skate shoes where everywhere!
I also spoke with my PVP to get the locations of upper and displace cabins and the ability to fit more than two people in a room. How do they fit up to 5 people in an interior or ov room? She told me only two people could fit in an upper/lower and she had two (upper/lower) with ocean views. I would imagine these are port holes? She told me she had upper/lowers on the upper main and ofcourse the riviera decks on the Celebration and sensation. I thought all upper/lowers were on the riviera be?
HELLO,,,,,I have been on afew CHRISTMAS CRUISES......... The displace is Big enough to find somewhere toget away from those little ones........... If a child is behaving,being nice I don't mindbeing around them........ It's when they are acting up,,,,like screaming,,crying yelling,,,,,,,that's when I don't want tobe around them....... The child just maybe tired..... That's when parents need to take them to the confine for a nap !!!!!!!I like to cruise at CHRISTMAS,,,this is my gift to me from me.................

I'm looking at a Christmas Cruise for a party of seven. Four of us have just started or will start school on Tuesday. This is the first time I have been in a really formal school setting in almost 20 years. We were just kicking the idea around as our Christmas presents to our self and as what we see as a much needed end of the semester break. I agree the nice mannerable kids are no problem. But I'm thinking of when I went to Disney for Christmas a few years ago. Kids crancking and tired throwing tantrums crying and screaming. And them the parents getting ready to fist fight because one wants to stay in the park and one wants the enitre family to take a napo! It was not a pretty site as neither would bulge!
We cruise during Christmas and it is great. Never had a problem with kids. But then again kids don't bother us. Although it is comfort 4 months away the holiday cruises do book fast. Good luck!

The Celebration out of Jacksonville and the Sensation out of Port Canaveral. Both are the week of Christmas or covers the Christmas holiday.

I'm leaning towards the Celebration due to it being a 5 nights cruise and the drive from Southern NJ to JAX. It's only two of us driving though but were both road hogs and I'm a commercial driver by profession. Well it's one of my professions. LOL We normally drive to FL/GA twice a year non-stop and it takes us between 13-15 hours only stopping for gas and rest room breaks.
