Boil two pounds of russet potatoes. Be sure to peel and chop them into large cubes before boiling. Once they are done–you’ll know, if you can easily pierce them with a fork–start to saute your white onions in olive oil in a low until for approximately 10 minutes or until they are caramelized. Now add in milk or heavy whipping cream, butter and seasoning to your potatoes and mash them to your favorite consistency. Next, mix in the onions and serve to your guest.

Wouldn’t that be the life? Avoiding the fuss and prep of Thanksgiving and taking a cruise. We can only image. The holidays can be tough, particularly if you're the one slaving over a huge Thanksgiving feast for your entire family. While we know most people have a great day with family planned, we thought we would still share this event because it's a great alternative.

But if you do have the free time, why not hop on the Hornblower cruise for the easiest and most stress-free Thanksgiving of your life? No cooking. No cleaning. No arguing with family members. Just lie back and let the Hornblower staff doing everything for you.

The meal will be a Thanksgiving buffet with all the traditional foods you know and love, but add a glass of champagne, live music, wonderful service and you have the best possible way to spend the holidays. The cruise sets sail at two different times on Thanksgiving day: 12pm and 4:30 pm. Explore the link below for more information and to buy tickets.
