kwokpot Posted October 27, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Thanks for posting this. I'm on the Edge starting Saturday and just assumed they would have a costume party and will bring an easy to pack costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted October 27, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Christmas cruises with the 95% vax rule in place will certainly be different this year. I remember when we would cruise the week ahead of the 'Christmas cruise'. (The crew were always sorry to see us go. They knew what they had coming at them at the turn.) Now the number of kids will necessarily be reduced to get the numbers squared up, and it will be a very different experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stockjock Posted October 27, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2021 As mentioned in a separate thread, doing the NYE cruise on Summit. Should be a fun time. After hiding in my condo from Covid for 2 years, I'm ready to get out for a change. My GF is an essential worker, so she goes to work every day. But I work for a big Wall Street firm and have been working remotely from my comfy sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Summit from Nov 22 - 27. They said the ship will be decorated November 25, so I assume that means that it will start at the beginning of the cruise with the intent it is done by the 25th.

It usually is just about done one overnight. Had it happen on the equinox a few years ago on a Thanksgiving sailing and the day before cruise ended overnight all xmas was up in place.

Rare mahdnc Posted October 27, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted October 27, 2021 On the other hand, after Christmas the decorations are removed gradually. Usually the decorations that cause the staircase in the Grand Foyer to be blocked off is the first to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLCruiser97 Posted October 27, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I have been on a Thanksgiving sailing where the Christmas decor comes out on Black Friday. We are on the Millie on Thanksgiving 25 Nov-29 Nov. According to the posted link, we won't be able to enjoy the Christmas decor as the decorating begins after we dock.

Covepointcruiser Posted October 27, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Glad to see there will be some Christian services onboard the Christmas cruise. I have always seen a Rabbi on board all of our cruises but almost never a Christian minister of any denomination. This is a big change for Celebrity.

I've been friendly with some of the clergy onboard and Celebrity has some trouble getting the Christian or multi-denominational folks to come onboard for what they offer.
