The tone of the passengers over a Christmas cruise is so much different than other times. The passengers are usually very grumpy and it affects the whole atmosphere. Even though the crew tries to make sure they are "up" and friendly, Christmas cruise passengers affect them, too. Hubby and I thought all this was crazy when we were told about it and then we experienced it first hand. So, book a New Year's Eve cruise and enjoy the fun and party! People are amazingly happy during New Year's.

Seriously.........We cruise at Christmas just to see all the decorations, and we have places to go and I think we are very much wanted.
We tend to attempt to get away from the hometown at christmas due to the crowds, congestion, cold and time off of work. Plus after the actual christmas day, families seem to behave a little better and there is less arguing.
I think your statement was cruel.
