5 or 6 Night Christmas or New Year's Sailing Out of NYC
A colleague of mine at school asked me about winter time sailings out of NYC this year. When I suggested he might like to come along with us on the Norwegian Gem for her Christmas cruise, he was interested, but would prefer a shorter voyage. What other ships are sailing out of NYC this winter at Christmas or New Year's time? (bearing in mind that our school holiday runs from December 22 through January 7). Any and all suggestions are welcome (aside from the usual joke about the Staten Island Ferry) and I will pass them along to my colleague. TIA!!!

According to travelocity the 7 day NCL Gem cruise is the shortest one from NY at that time of year. sue |

5 or 6 Night Christmas or New Year's Sailing Out of NYC
Thanks, Sue--that's what I thought too! RCI and Carnival still have
ships out of NYC for the holidays, but I think they are running longer trips!!??!!??

I only saw Royal Carribean, HAL and NCL when I looked on travelocity. Travelocity usually is pretty good, but you might want to look at the cruise line websites to be sure. sue |

Peg "Scientists' say intelligent life sprang from the sea. Really intelligent life returns to the sea every now and then." According to Vacations To Go, when I sort by December and NYC, 7 days is the shortest and from there they go to 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 days. Guess they just have to suck it up and take a whole week off. I can't imagine wanting a shorter than 7 day cruise. I try always to book 10 or 11 days. I'm not sure if this page will load correctly or not, but this is the link to the December sailings out of NYC. http://www.vacationstogo.com/ticker.cfm Momma Sounds like they are looking at the economics of a Christmas cruise. That 5 or 6 day cruise will cost almost as much at Christmas as our 10 day cruise in January. They really jack up the prices for the Christmas cruises. |

And since they can get more per day, they may as well make for as long as they can. Bill |

My guess is that they don't do shorter cruises from NY/NJ in the winter, since it takes too long to get to warmer weather. In the warmer weather they can do Bermuda or New England/Canada for the short cruises. sue |

5 or 6 Night Christmas or New Year's Sailing Out of NYC
Sue, I would take a 2 or 3 night to no where out of NYC in the winter
just to enjoy the ships Casino, Spa ect. It would be nice to have the option to do that. I spend just as much money on a hotel room in NYC for the weekend as I do on some week long cruises. |

I guess your right... Thats probably why they don't have them. I can
keep wishing. But, I do keep my eye out for those short cruises to no where out of NYC. Every Saturday this month NCL has a 1 nite to no where. I just wish it weren't NCL. And it were a 2 nite. 1 Nite is just such a tease. |
