GregD 1,647 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I'm Italian, we eat more at Thanksgiving, for instance, this is just the appetizers, and this was a lite year (antipasti) Ogilthorpe, Neesa, MaryCS62 and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 12,350 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 More on the cruise. While I love traditional thanksgiving food, the MDR menu offers so much more! ehw51 and ChessE4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeWhoWaits 1,358 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Each dinner on the cruise is approximately equal in calories to those consumed for Thanksgiving dinner. Total for the day on the cruise exceeds total for the day on Thanksgiving. ehw51, ChessE4 and USCG Teacher 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Throw in alcohol, and its way over the top. acesandeights, USCG Teacher and ehw51 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FionaMG 839 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Exactly the same amount, down to the last crumb of pumpkin pie. Caveat: I have only ever eaten one Thanksgiving dinner and that was on a cruise. ehw51 and acesandeights 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulRC 106 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 That is a tough question to answer. In my house Thanksgiving is not "A meal" it is a day of eating. So the only way to answer that question is to compare it to a full day on the ship. Given that the answer is absolutely with doubt about it is a cruise day... ehw51 and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Start with appetizers around 11. Full Italian dinner at 1, football, full turkey dinner at 6, more football, dessert around 7:30. Roll yourself home around 10.

melmar02 1,374 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I'm going to say it's a toss up at our house. We just had our family of 4 this year (and the kids are picky eaters) so we kept the meal small - lots of leftovers but just a few dishes. I had actually lost weight when I stepped on the scale Friday morning. However, we've had leftover pie and other goodies in the house for days and my weight is up overall since then as ironically we don't have a lot of dessert in the house usually. Right now it's about 3-4 pounds which is what I would typically gain on a 7 day cruise, and just like on a cruise "food fatigue" is setting in.

SpeedNoodles 4,885 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Definitely a cruise. We almost always work on Thanksgiving, and if we don't we're at the inlaws, who can't cook worth a crap. I'm not a big fan of the "holiday".

Ampurp85 1,232 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Definitely eat more on a cruise. It was just 3 of us so I only made 4 dishes. On a cruise I am tasting all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psycho and Barb 121 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 More at Thanksgiving...Barb's an AWESOME cook...Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonCruiser 55 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 comparing daily (since thanksgiving is only one day), I think I eat more on a cruise. Mainly because I don't have to cook the food so I have plenty of time to eat and eat and eat on a cruise. PaulRC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zacharius 291 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 More on Thanksgiving because it's actually good food Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jolly Ogre 517 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 We always eat more on the cruise, however we also move more on the cruise. On Thanksgiving there is just a lot of sitting around, not so much on a cruise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
