CruisinMommas Posted September 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Several years ago we sailed on the Explorer and our sail date was Dec. 3rd. There were flowers a gigantic tree a ginger bread village and more. Each day we would see something new added until we disembarked., close to the middle of the month.

Ladysilver Posted September 3, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2012 When we were on the Rhapsody first week of december '04, the ship was beautifully decorated with lots of christmas trees, garlands and wreaths throughout the ship. In the lobby there was a huge display of a "gingerbread city" complete with christmas decorations, lights and a train that wound around the whole thing. Very festive!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually nothing up at the start of the cruise. By the last morning, the ship is pretty well decorated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maraprince Posted September 6, 2012 #15 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Last year we did a sailing during which Thanksgiving was celebrated. Before the sailing was over, the ship was fully decorated for Christmas with a large tree on deck 5 and the Information Desk was decorated as well. We even had our photos taken by the tree by the ship's photographer. MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on when they schedule that you can watch them build it. We have never been on the ship that early in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
