I spent last Christmas/New Year aboard NCL Crown sailing around South America.
It was wonderful. We saw the New Year in while on the River Plate, from Montevideo to Buenos Aires. It was a beautiful evening and I spent most of it by myself out on the prom deck, Emile (the Capt) blew the ship's horn to mark the start of 2006.
It was a fantastic experience, wonderful people and just a truly memorable way to celebrate the New Year.
This was the final sunset of 2005 (and of the cruise too)
It's gonna be a hardship but,
our family has decided to cruise for the double whammy....Christmas and New Years....
Frus will ease the pain I am sure.....

Although we have never sailed during Christmas, new years or thanksgiving we have done birthdays and Valentines day..
My birthday is towards the end of December so a birthday / New Years Eve cruise would definitely interest us. We are actually looking at a six nighter out of Tampa on the zenith for New Years Eve 2007
We almost ALWAYS took New Year's Cruises when our girls were young. Wonderful! Much ENJOYED!
LuLu ... Visit SOUTH CAROLINA!

I answered yes as I would definitely love to do it. However, as long as I am working, I can't take vacations over Christmas and New Years, :thumbsdow Bummer, guess I will have to wait till I retire, or go per diem, (then I can say when I will work and say no whenever, )
