sotadragon Posted November 22, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I have heard that Carnival decorates it's ships over the holidays, and I would like to know the following, please: 1. How early in the year have you seen decorations? 2. Which ship were you on? 3. What year was it? Thanks a bunch! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liner Posted November 22, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I just got off the Destiny :eek: yesterday and they were starting to decorate for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volive Posted November 22, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Just got off the Conquest Yesterday and it was decorated... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotadragon Posted November 22, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Liner and volive: That's actually good news to me! I was hoping Legend would be decorated when we go (not long now! :D) and it sounds like it will be! I guess I was really hoping because the other three cruises I've been on were during late spring/early summer and it would just be cool to see a ship decorated other than the usual stuff. Thanks for the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted November 22, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2004 The morning of debarkation on November 6, they were putting up Christmas decorations - on the Sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Luv Crusin Posted November 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I was on the Fascination for Thanksgiving 11/01. As we were getting off the ship they were JUST starting to unload boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations. I guess like the stores they are starting earlier every year!

sotadragon Posted November 24, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I should have thought to ask this with my original question. :rolleyes: What kinds of holiday decorations does carnival use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gdaymate Posted November 25, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Do they light a Menorah during Chanukah? We will be sailing during Chanukah this December and I am curious as to whether they will be doing this. Thanks, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnifer01 Posted November 25, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2004 The decorations will be nice to see. My family and I (15 of us) are planning an onboard gift exchange- it's going to be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Terre Posted November 25, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2004 We were on the Paradise last year the week after Thanksgiving and it was decorated for Christmas. My in-laws are on the Legend now and my sister-in-law said it is decorated for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel girl23 Posted November 25, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 25, 2004 We boarded the Elation the Sunday before Thanksgiving last year and the ship was already decorated for Christmas. The backdrops for the photo opts on both formal nights included several Christmas scenes. Some friends who went several weeks later, said that they had a Christmas show in the lounge which we did not have at Thanksgiving. Beautiful greenery with red balls and red ribbon decorated the staircase in the main atrium as well as each of the floors above it. A Christmas tree was next to the atrium bar. From the ceiling in the atrium, long sheer banners with a Christmas theme hung down and swayed in the breeze. It was beautifully and tastefully decorated.

sgriff17 Posted November 25, 2004 #13 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I was on the paradise last Jan 4th...AND of course they were still there the 28th of December the year before. They started taking them down around the 7th of Jan on our last cruise. This was the paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidimom Posted November 25, 2004 #14 Share Posted November 25, 2004 We are thrilled to hear the Legend is decorated!!! Leave in 2 days!! Can't wait and this will be a chance to get those holiday pictures done of the family which almost never happens! Elwhaite, when are you cruising? If you are sailing this weekend, we are having a CC meeting Sunday (1st sea day) at 2pm at the Atrium Bar. Any others that may also be cruising with us are welcome to join us. We do have a thread on the Roll Call board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going with the Valor Vampires at Halloween next year, are you doing that one? Looks like it's going to be a pretty large group so far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted November 28, 2004 #17 Share Posted November 28, 2004 The Legend was already decorated when we boarded on 11/19... she is looking GREAT! Have a wonderful cruise... we were rained out in Barbados AND Martinique - I wish you better luck! We had 23 CC'ers booked for a private snorkel trip in Barbados - which had to be cancelled.. Stephen - the fellow with Thriller Ocean Tours : http://www.caribzoneswatersports.com/thrilleradventuresbertram38.html was VERY quick to respond to e-mails, with plenty of details and directions... you may want to contact him...
