What we're thankful for on a cruise: Cruisebound's favorites

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, reflection, and togetherness. And here at Cruisebound, it got us thinking: what about cruising makes us feel most thankful?

We turned to our team (and a few enthusiastic cruise-goers) to find out what makes the high seas so special during this season of thanks.

Here’s what we’re thankful for on a cruise

1. Family time, all together

Margo shared a sentiment many of us can relate to: "The best part of cruising for me is having my family all together. Since we’re spread out all over the world, cruises give us the chance to spend fun, quality time together. The evening dinners are my favorite part! We laugh, eat, and just enjoy the moment."

From elegant dining rooms to cozy stateroom gatherings, cruises make reconnecting with loved ones effortless.
