We are on the New Years Eve cruise and we hope that they keep the decorations up through the New Year . The timing of the change of decorations varies from ship to ship. I have sailed on HAL ships after New Year's Day when the decorations had disappeared when I arose on New Year's Day. On others, it was a day or more before the crew removed the decorations.

Decorations everywhere. And a large gingerbread town display. (With a train) Thanks for sharing this! My wife is going to love this when we board next Saturday. Please let us know if the Christmas music continues throughout the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmcfad2 Posted December 11, 2021 #31 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I’ll be on the Koningsdam for Christmas! Love the decorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted December 11, 2021 #32 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I don't mind the decorations but the music just seems wrong on a Caribbesn cruise. But then, I detest Christmas music anywhere at any time. Just sitting on Lido on NA having my burger and beer in the sun and not enjoying the music at all. Bad humbug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am keeping an eye on your sailing to see if the ship is allowed to dock at Grand Turk, btw. My understanding is up until now the port has been cancelled. Have y'all had any updates?

Having just come off the NA your mission if you choose to accept it is to count how many different versions of "Sleigh Ride" are played. 😁 Edited December 12, 2021 by ShipWalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickey_mouse Posted December 20, 2021 #37 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Just off the N.A. and loved the Christmas decorations scattered about the shift. Nothing too in your face, and just enough to remind you what season it is. I also didn't mind the Christmas music, but it disappeared halfway through the cruise thanks to a petition signed by many of the passengers (I believe the smoking section had a lot to do with it). So funny, and they got their way! Never heard it again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted December 20, 2021 #38 Share Posted December 20, 2021 That's unfortunate. It is the Christmas season after all! Perhaps the rest of the non-smoking passengers, which I'm sure is a huge majority, should sign a petition calling for the Christmas music to come back! As long as it's not blaring, what's the problem?🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted December 22, 2021 #39 Share Posted December 22, 2021 If one sails on a Christmas cruise, one ought to expect much Christmas music. These "Debbie-Downers" who successfully objected, if they did, ought to reconsider the dates of the cruises on which they sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
