We are considering a Christmas cruise for our immediate family.  22 of us and grandkids ranging from 20 to 3years on Explorer of theSeas.   What does the cruise line do differently for these cruises besides decorations.  Anybody have experience?

Yes.  We cruised on Navigator of the Seas two years ago over Christmas (9 day Southern).  It was fantastic.  They did Christmas carols and light show in Royal Promenade.  Santa and elves arrive and kids follow them in parade through promenade and end up in Studio B where Santa hands out gifts to each child.  They offer special menus in restaurants - note: specialty restaurants all have special (higher priced) menus on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  IIRC, we paid $75 pp at Giovani’s.  We loved our Christmas cruise so much, we booked two more - one on Serenade this year and Silhouette next year.  

 

Hope this helps.

Wow, that's quite the group!  Spending Christmas at Sea is blissful.  We did it for the first time last year and loved it.  We sailed on Princess so maybe this isn't as helpful for you but the cruise staff had several holiday activities and special events planned including a gingerbread decorating contest, Christmas Eve carolling, a visit from Santa on Christmas morning with gifts for the kids, special production shows / performances, etc.
