We booked our cruise on the Carnival Triumph for the week after Thanksgiving (which is the week we always gone on) because of the itinerary and price. We booked it through our cruise representative at Carnival who has not steered us wrong yet. This was our eight cruise and fifth on Carnival (half way to Platinum). I am 54, employed as a Safety Manager and my DW is 52, employed as an accountant.

We flew from Columbus, Ohio to West Palm Beach via Cincinnati on Delta Thanksgiving morning without any problems. We picked up our rental car from Hertz (I'm a long standing Gold Member) at the West Palm Beach airport location without any problems. This may have been a first, it seams they have always find a way to messed up my reservation. We annually spend Thanksgiving with my DW twin sister in West Palm Beach. This is also another reason why we cruise the week after Thanksgiving is that we are already in Florida.
