Holiday Decorations

[Eddie4Paws]

Does anyone know when Princess sets up the holiday decorations on the ships?

I'm travelling from Dec 2 through the 12th. I know that Channukah is during that time. Do they do anything for Channukah? I'd also love to see their Christmas decorations.

My understanding is they start after thansgiving!! It must be beautiful!! :)

They generally start the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Will they start decorating while your in the middle of your cruise or do they wait until you get back to your home port? We are traveling on the Dawn and leave 11/23 and Thanksgiving is 11/25 and we don't return until December 3. Will they decorate while we are cruising?

I did back-to-backs on the Dawn last December (before Christmas) and observed that they had hired a contractor to come in and do major decorating on the turnaround days. It was quite beautiful. A few years back, we sailed on the Grand before Thanksgiving and toward the end of that cruise they were decorating (so it was decorated for T-giving). We sailed the Crown over T-giving to hawaii and I seem to think that we didn't see any Christmas decorations that cruise. So, it must vary.

 

They have special services during Chanukkah, led by a passenger.

They decorated The Island Princess last year on the turn around day weekend before Thanksgiving. They do a nice job of holiday decorations.

On the Golden last year, they were decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving - the day we were getting off of our Thanksgiving cruise.
