AshleyDillo Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 They decorate and they will have specialty restaurant dinners with a hefty upcharge but they do include champagne and a surf & turf option usually. In the past they had Santa and gingerbread decorations in the Windjammer, but I don't know how much of the celebration stuff they will cut back because of the current safety protocols. cruisellama and Doak 1 1 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 We love sailing during the holidays. There is definitely a festive feeling in the air and they decorate the ships very nicely. It is pricey - so be prepared - but it's really fun. We are doing a B2B on Allure this year for both Christmas and NY. Neesa, JohnK6404, cruisellama and 7 others 6 1 3 Quote

I was probably suffering from Acronym Overload, I read your post several times and still couldn't recall the Allure sailing to New York for the Holidays.... WAAAYTOOO and Doak 2 Quote
CrznTxn Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 We have Thanksgiving and the week of Christmas booked this year and as in years past the ships are decorated up and the menus enhanced. The last Christmas time sail we had in 2019 the Windjammer had a gingerbread village that appeared overnight. Cannot wait to get on and enjoy the festivities.

I ask because I am on the Symphony new year cruise and was hoping to see you in the casino! Quote
BrianB Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 This was on the Anthem in 2019. There was also the Gingerbread Village in the Windjammer…and Christmas trees and decorations all over the ship. The ship’s officers and members of the show ‘We Will Rock You’ performed Christmas carols and Santa and his elves paraded the Royal Esplanade. Of course, these things were pre-Covid. So, I expect things will be somewhat different this year. Doak, WAAAYTOOO and Chadster 2 1 Quote

My guess is they won't....so probably won't be going on either one of these. But I'm still planning on going. Fingers crossed. Quote

Chadster Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 I'm not usually a huge fan of the late-December holidays, but I'm very much looking forward to being on Anthem for Christmas and New Year's Eve. All these pictures have me feeling like a kid at...well...Christmas! Doak, whitsmom and WAAAYTOOO 1 2 Quote

Rob&Ana Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 We really enjoyed Christmas and NYE on a cruise ship in the past. They are so much fun and the menus on both big nights are upgraded in the MDR. This year we will be on Navigator out of LA for both so we are very exited to finally be able to sail on RC out of California again. Doak and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote
