Do they decorate the ships for Christmas?

I was wondering if they decorate the ships or do anything special for Christmas day.

They start decorating the ships around Thanksgiving. :)

Oh wow! Thanks so much!!

We were on the Ecstasy several years ago for a Christmas cruise. There were a few decorations here and there but not as many as we have seen on other cruise lines.

We were on the Imagination in early December and the ship was decorated. Nice time to cruise.

I believe they call it the "holidays" to not offend anyone who isn't Christian......:rolleyes:

We cruised early January on the Paradise. The ship was nicely decorated, then one morning they were all gone. Never saw anyone taking them down.

On the Freedom this past December they made it snow in the atrium! :)

We thought it was fun to get a picture in front of the Christmas tree with our shorts on in December. We're from the midwest.:)

This is awesome news. I can't wait! I hope it snows in the atrium! My kids will flip!

Probably the same ninjas who clean our cabins.

We have sailed every Christmas for the last 4 years. Carnival does decorate but if you are expecting a full out, White Christmas Winter Wonderland, you will likely be disappointed. Lots of passengers will decorate their cabin doors though.

On the Inspiration, the snow starts the day after thanksgiving

The process is very similar to this:

I'll let them see it in my driveway for half of what you're paying for the cruise. I'll even let them shovel for no additional cost. ;)

We've been on ships three times in the last few holiday seasons. Some decorations in the atrium and a few other places, but as others have said it's not particularly extravagant. On par with the food court at a local mall give or take.

They start decorating the ships around Thanksgiving. :)

Will they be decorated by Thanksgiving?

Thanks :)

Really like the Paradise Atrium at the holidays. Finally the Eggs have something to 'Go With'.

For those who go over Chanukah- there will be a Menorah. Mom liked the tradition of arguing which way to start lighting (ok twisting) the candles. Just like home :D

Just wish the latkes weren't so soggy. =[

And wished they didn't taste like wallpaper paste.:D At least they served Manischewitz and bread that was supposed to be challah.:D

On the Splendor a few years ago, there was also a gingerbread village on the upper level of the Atrium.

These work better! :)

How long will the decorations be left up? We sail on December 28 and wondered if they would be around for our cruise.

In the past when I've cruised NYE or New Years Day, the decorations have still been up...so I would say probably.
