I live in Sydney, so no flying needed, but thank you all for your responses.

Hi All,

I've booked the Christmas cruise (P&O Sydney - Australia 18Dec - 28Dec pacific islands) and I was wondering if anyone on here has done a Christmas cruise before....

Do the cruise ships really get into the festive season? Do they do much decorating? Did you take the kids smaller gifts (wrapped) for them to open on the day?

Thank you for any / all reply's.

Hi All,

I have booked Dec 18-Dec 28 cruise from Sydney, Australia to the Pacific islands. (My second cruise ever)

My question is - has anyone previously been on a "Christmas cruise"? Does it feel Christmassy on board? Did you take your childs smaller gifts wrapped on board?

Thank you for any and all responses.

Just experienced my first cruise - P&O Pacific Explorer (Australia)

I read this thread a month before cruising and got lots of great ideas on things i thought i may need for my first cruise, but turns out i didn't!

DON'T NEED:

**Wall magnets - there's adequate space for paperwork, tickets ect. You don't need added crap all over the walls.

**Power adaptors - there is one/two available in your cabin. Enough for the 4 people in our room. Want to charge something? Simply wait your turn.

**Bathroom storage - enough space for the essentials. Again why would you want to hang something over the door? Just added crap clogging up your space.
