salty dingo Posted August 18, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2008 The would not decorate the whole ship but there will probably be some seasonal decorations here and there. I think they will have some sort of special menu - I have heard there is Turkey on Thanksgiving, so they may have it on Christmas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Frescoe Posted August 18, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2008 We are thinking of a Christmas cruise this year and I was wondering how sold out these trips are that time of year? For some reason I was thinking they might be less crowded, but now I am not so sure. Also, will there be a lot of kids on a Christmas cruise? I also had it in my head that the little angels would stay home and wait for santa, but now I'm wondering. The trip we are thinking of is on the Jade leaving Dec 21. Thanks Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted August 18, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Holiday cruises are always full - to the brim, and they always have hundreds of kids. Often there are extended families. The prices for holiday cruises are often doubled. And the cabins (especially the suites) get sold out early and fast. Yes, the ships are decorated and they do serve Christmas dinners in the main dining rooms. Yes, Santa will be on the ship as are his elves. There is a party on deck on New Year's Eve. They will give you hats and favours and a glass of bubbly. We're going on Dec 21 JADE - and it'll be our 4th holiday cruise. This beats having to shop, cook and clean up ANYTIME!!

Thanks Al Santa will be on the ship. The Atrium will be decorated and there'll be stuff for the kids. If you bring a small Xmas tree for your cabin (they will not provide one) it'll be a great touch - we do this every Xmas cruise. Mind you the Med will prolly be cool and the days are short. Prolly warm days but cooler nights. We are on Dec 21 JADE too - we picked it for the price and itinerary - we go away for Xmas and New Year every other year.

When we went on our first Xmas cruise our DS was 3.5 yo - he was so thrilled when Santa showed up on the deck on Xmas Eve (Xmas Day was port day) and we all followed him through several decks on ship, ending up in the Atrium where he sat in his chair and gave out gifts to the kids. The Xmas dinners were good - we had the Russian one on the Spirit. We wonder if they will serve Hawaiian Xmas dinner --- several poster have said that Jade still has the Hawaiian decor!
