I find it odd that the cruise leaves two days before Christmas....and isn't at port anywhere for Christmas.

just seems like that has to hurt sales.

i assure you it wouldn't. i paid more for my resort the week of christmas than i would have the week before. they'll do a whole christmas dinner, - Andie Sep 15, 13:10 23
- I don't doubt there are people who want to travel on Christmas - ty97 Sep 15, 13:12 22
  - you are forgetting the entire Jewish population, for starters. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:14 1
    - No, I'm not. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:17
  - you aren't getting me - christmas vacations are always sold out. people seek them out. - Andie Sep 15, 13:13 19

      - Not at all. Mea culpa for having opinions that differ. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:16 16
        
        i'm just saying, the cruises/resorts charge more because of the demand. there are only so many destinations and LOTS of people choose that week to go - Andie Sep 15, 13:19 5

        To be fair, you live in NYC, which is famous for never closing, and having a high Jewish population right? -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:27
        
        people want to BE somewhere i guess. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:22 1

        this isn't opinion, it's factual that people like to travel on christmas. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:17 8
        
        Oh good, it's fact? SOURCE IT. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:18 7
        
        i just did a quick google - here's the very first thing that came up - "christmas vacations selling out fast" - Andie Sep 15, 13:21 5
        
        err, with the link -- (link) - Andie Sep 15, 13:22 4
        
        they refer to Dec 3 to Jan 4 as 'peak travel times' -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:23 3
        
        err Dec 19 to Jan 3. (okay, i've posted way too much in a row now) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:24 2
        
        certainly, those are peak travel times. The question is: how much fo that is holiday/resort travel versus travel to be with family. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:27 1
        
        this isn't worth arguing, if you ever decide to go away for christmas, you'll learn it firsthand. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:28
