Hey everyone,

I just booked the Carnival Dream Thanksgiving Cruise for myself and my two boys.  I live in New York so this cruise is perfect for me!  How guilty should I feel that the boys (will be 13 & 16 at cruise time) will miss 4 days of school?  I feel bad but we are still going!!!! LOL

Anyone else booked? 

My Husband and I are going to be going on that cruise.  Not booked yet, but the 23 is our 25 wedding anniversary and that is our gift to each other.... I hadn't realized it was thanksgiving LOL .  I should have being when we got married it was the day after thanksgiving. 

as for feeling guilty NO way...... its good for the kids to see things, and what they miss they can make up.  

hope to see you there    Lori

Hi I'm not booked on this particular cruise but I am on the Dream in 2010.  I'm taking my 12 year old grandson with me and he will miss 1 full week of school.  I agree with Lori - the kids can catch up on their schooling.  Please don't feel guilty - you are giving those boys 'the trip of a lifetime' and thats exactly how I feel about my grandson.

I'm jealous to pieces you are going for your Thanksgiving - I have to wait another 18 months...lol     HAVE FUN! 

Hey everybody.

I didn't get a response to my post so I stopped checking.  Well I made a deal with my boys they have to go to school everyday including half days and the end of the school year.  I think 'Perfect Attendance' certificates will alleviate the guilt.  But we are still going I have already got the payment plan worked out.

 sounds like you have a plan.... I'm looking forward to going on the Dream, it sounds like it will be a beautiful ship.  talk to ya soon

Hi - there wouldn't be any brochures yet because the ship is still being built.  The best you will do is here.  John Herald had just finished visiting the build and even provided a couple of videos.: http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/ships/carnival_dream/default.aspx?shipCode=DR

Enjoy!

We are also looking for a Thanksgiving cruise in 2009, who knows maybe it will be the same ship.  I don't think the Dream's up and running though until DEC 09.  Thanks Laurie

Good Morning

sogwod:

I have been searching for a Carnival Cruise for Thanksgiving 2009.  We went on the Valor Thanksgiving 2007 and had a great time.  I cannot find the Dream cruise, where is it going and how did you find it?  I would appreciate any info you can give me.  Enjoy your cruise, we have been on Carnival twice and loved it.  

I found the information on the Carnival website.  There are two 8 - Day Bahamas sailings leaving from NYC (11/15 & 11/23) before the Dream relocates to Florida.
