We sailed close to Christmas last year, and the ship atrium was decorated, there was a Christmas show with singing one afternoon on a sea day. I guess it's great for the guests, but lonely for the staff being so far from home on the holiday.

We are down to single digits too. So excited. Thanks to all of you veteran cruisers who have been so good at answering all of my questions over the last few months. I can't wait to see what my first cruise is like. Happy Holidays to all of you.
