Everything I Loved and Hated About Cruising at Christmas

I’ve just disembarked the most eventful cruise I’ve ever taken, the cruise was 12 nights long and we were at sea for Christmas day. We had storms, we had medical emergencies, you name it, it happened on this cruise.

Like most people, I wasn’t able to see my family last Christmas so we decided to make this Christmas a good one.

I knew that this cruise could be great, but also knew that if anything went wrong, it wouldn’t just be me affected. In total there were 6 of us taking the cruise and I really really wanted my family to enjoy the cruise.

I thought I had worried about everything that could happen beforehand but things happened onboard and on shore that I didn’t even consider.

It definitely wasn’t the perfect Christmas I had imagined.

In the USA "Die Hard" has gained a cult following as a Christmas movie indeed. It 's based on the fact that Bruce was supposed to be spending the holiday with his estranged wife and children when all hell breaks loose at her job. There is a Christmas song soundtrack as well. I love re-watching it every year! The good guy wins!!!

Die Hard is totally a Christmas movie!!!

I am so tempted to take a Christmas cruise. It looks wonderful!

My God, if i found myself on a cruise with Ann Widdecombe i'd be jumping towards the props touts quick.

According to my husband, (a regular stand in for Ebenezer Scrooge) “ Die Hard _is so_ a christmas movie! “
That cruise looked fantastic! I’ll put that on my One Day list.

“Die Hard” IS a Christmas movie. There should be no argument about this. 🎅

[MrGregorSF]

Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie. It centers around an office Christmas party, but it’s LA so no snow

Found your channel while researching cruises as my fiancé and I are planning our maiden voyage and it has been the most helpful resource! You’re also a joy to watch! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to these videos, they are fantastic 😊

[lmamakos]

Die Hard is very much a Christmas Movie! Watch again next Christmas!

[stasius]

Die Hard is, in fact (subjectively and objectively), a Christmas movie.

I went on a Cunard cruise for christmas one year and I turned 18 on the ship (Queen Victoria, 07'-08'). It was also an incredibly rough cruise where I visited Tenerife, Lisbon, Malaga, etc. And while I can't say I would cruise again, it certainly was memorable and an unconventional way to celebrate!

Emma, When I was 17 back in 1982, I took a Christmas Cruise with my family, my Grandma and Grandpa, my Mom and my Brother and two Sisters on the MS Fairsea for a seven night cruise to Acapulco, Mexico that departed San Francisco and returned to Long Beach where we flew back to the Bay Area. It was an amazing voyage and we had five ports of call on our voyage with spending Christmas in port in Acapulco. We cruised with Sitmar Cruises on the MS Fairsea (2) and an interesting fact, Sitmar was purchased by P & O Cruises. Thank you for bringing back such a nice memory for me and Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!

It's nice to hear U R thoughtful about the workers on the too tidy my cabin a bit before the cabin crew come in because they are soooo need to understand ship workers R not my kids cruise with me I tell them not to be cheeky with staff because staff have families to provide for and work hard.

I'd love a formal Christmas day. I live dressing up to drink champagne etc.

[jeffcraig]

Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Even Hans Gruber says, "Ho-Ho-Ho"!

I was on the same cruise, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Seeing your video brought a few smiles to my face. I saw you with your brother and mum at the Elvis talk, but didnt get a chance to say 'Hi'. Thanks for the enjoyable video.
