I reviewed the numbers today on the December roll call and I still cant see us getting the numbers for another cruise after the latest scheduled one on the 9th, and before Christmas. We have quite a few people arriving the 22nd so I considered 23rd, but since almost all those are staying for 2 weeks they would be able to make a cruise between Christmas and New Year. If we were to run a cruise both just before and just after Christmas then there's a chance we wouldn't get sufficient numbers for either since we'd be splitting the small pool of people we have between two dates. After Christmas is looking better, I think we'll be able to run one after Christmas but before New Year. 27th and 28th are about equal in numbers but there are some who arrive the 27th and others who leave the 28th so there's no single date that suits all. In the end I decided to go for 27th, because we may also run one very early Jan (possibly 2nd) and there's a good chance the Dec 27 and later arrivals will be able to make that one, whereas the 28th departures would have no other date option. ========================= TLDR: We'll be proposing a cruise for Fri Dec 27 and deposits will open Wed Nov 27 (usually around lunchtime)
Thanks for taking a look at it. Unfortunately we leave on the 26th. We would have definitely done the 23rd, had it been an option. Maybe next time.
