Thanksgiving is the time of year to spend with family. Not just family, but the whole extended family. Meaning that in addition to a feast many are confronting a lengthy weekend on sleeper sofas, tripping on their cousins, and wincing at their uncles off color jokes.
We all have that one uncle, or brother, or stepfather.
Add to this the chores of cooking and cleaning for a large group of people determined to eat themselves into a food coma, and it isn’t hard to see why some have opted to spend the holiday at sea instead. Thanksgiving cruises are the way to go.
You may miss the family though. While staring entranced into the ships wake while sitting on your balcony and sipping a mojito it may dawn on you that perhaps this isn’t a normal Thanksgiving. While eating at the buffet, or maybe having upgraded to one of the many upscale dining venues available, you may miss the green bean casserole. You may even miss your uncle’s off color jokes. Or maybe you just miss the bonding with your other relatives in the awkward silence that follows.
You may realize that you and he are more alike than you realized as in the wake of your wit the only sound is the faint sound of forks being set on the table.
Your family will understand, even if your in-laws may not. In fact, they may wish they could trade places with you as they wait 20 minutes for a niece or nephew to get out of the restroom. You should focus on making the most of your cruise for them.
If you miss them that much, there is always next year. The time to start preparing for Thanksgiving cruises is well in advance of the holiday.
