Oh yes, we had snow on Friday, and you probably heard about the wind and lake tides flooding parts of Chicago, 70 miles NW of where I live.:rolleyes: I have 3 cruises scheduled between now and Spring!!!!!!:)

[Susie51]

Our cruise sails Nov. 29. I have 6 Christmas trees. I'm putting up 3 before we leave on our cruise. We get back Dec. 6, so I want the house to look Christmassy.

[canamax]

My first cruise is coming up on Nov 16th on the Breakaway. As a added bonus my ta got me a upgrade from a studio to a aft balcony.

Oh my goodness!! I didn't actually hear about that crazy weather up there!!

 

3 cruises!?!?! Jealous!!!

[watchdiva]

It sure was cold here in SW Florida this weekend - as in, "honey turn on the heat" cold! Record low temps.....

 

We will be putting up our tree the weekend before we leave - and will decorate it when we get back:). Probably will put out some of the inside decorations also before we leave - so it won't be too overwhelming when we get home. December holds tons of holiday parties, concerts, etc - can't WAIT for our cruise which will be the kick-off to our holiday celebrations!

[Out to sea!]

Slightly off topic but does anyone know if the ships will have their Christmas decorations up by Thanksgiving??

[Velvet Teddy Bear]

The ships will start decorating when they come in after the trip including Thanksgiving....We usually sail the weekend after Thanksgiving, and the work is well underway....The decorators board as soon as possible, and stay with the ship that week if necessary.... so you may see some of the work being done....

 

jus' me...jim...:cool:

[maywell]

I was actually hoping to get away from the Holiday spirit since it'll be crammed down my throat for whole 2 months - the decorations are already out in couple of stores here in NYC. I hope its tone down, really just want to get away from it and the reminder that birthday falls in December ( I can only have one present, not 2 ' yes, I know that mess up but then again I come from a mess up family. lol )

We cruised last December 1st and while some of the decorating had begun, it wasn't overwhelming like in the stores. The music was very quiet and the decorating was very pleasant, as in non-intrusive, so it was nice but not overdone with Christmas décor.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

I called when the prices dropped to see if it was possible to upgrade.

[CasinoCruzGirl]

Leaving on the breakaway 3 days after Thanksgiving. Going with my DH DS and his GF and my sister her DH and 2 boys so there are eight of us in total going. I'm really excited about this trip because my son has been away in college for the past five years and it is just going to be wonderful to spend the time with him and his girlfriend. We get home December 7 so I will have to hurry up and decorate the house because I will be too busy packing and getting ready for the cruise to do it before we go.

Well good, will make shopping for Christmas gifts easier. I plan to buy it on the cruise ship since I really can't stand the crowds or the standing for hours while gift shopping - family going to have to settle for NCL logo bags or something, lol. Hopefully will get a good sale and spend less than $100 all together on all 11 of them....

OH please, don't tell me that!!! No cold!!! I'm spending 3 days in Florida before we go!!! Need sun and hot and convertible cars!

Actually I'm happy it's finally starting to turn cold. So tired of sweating to death without even moving outside.

I will gladly switch places with you - going from cold NY that's in the 40-50's and might snow right to hopefully 70 degrees in Florida in December.

I swear the second it hit midnight Halloween...the Christmas stuff and music started playing here too!

 

I don't mind Christmas it just seems every year the stores have it out sooner and sooner!

 

Ask for one super dooper present if you can only have 1!!!

Yes indeed, the misuss and I will be doing a pre-Christmas cruise this year, down under to Oz and some of the South Pacific islands. The 14 day cruise will be followed by a few more days in OZ which is followed by four days in Bangkok, which in turn is followed by four days in Istanbul. I just hate November and early December weather here in Eastern Quebec with short dark days, most with cold wind, rain or sleet and/or some snow but not enough to have fun in. Hopefully, upon our return, end of December, we can start with our snowmobile season. Merry Christmas everyone! :):D:eek:

NOOOOO, I love the holidays. I just wish it didn't get shoved down our throats earlier and earlier each year. :( They had Christmas stuff for sale in the middle of October :confused: :mad:
