We sailed on the Fantasy this past Christmas. It was absolutely perfect. It was the first Christmas my husband didn't have to work in 5 years, so we were there to celebrate being together.
We took a small tree with battery operated lights, as well as our sons' stockings with us. We also had one smallish gift for each of us (from our dogs) under the tree.
On Christmas Eve, we took some cookies back to the room from Cabanas at lunch time, and as we were leaving our Dinner that night, the Head Servers were handing out cartons of milk (for Santa). So, we did the milk and cookies thing for Santa, and that was fun.
In the morning, we each opened our present, and the boys undid their stockings, then we went down to the Atrium to see Santa. There was a quick-moving queue to see him, and the CMs handed out hot chocolate and cookies whilst we were in line. Santa was fabulous and took the time to talk to each of my sons (who were almost 11 and 16 at the time ... so big boys) then we posed for one of our best family photos ever! After we saw Santa, we went into the Royal Court for breakfast. We had Mimosa and Eggs Julia and Pancakes and it was lovely.
After breakfast we saw the opening day release of "Into The Woods" at the movie theatre.
There was a dance party and special Character meets and church services for those who wanted that. There was plenty to do, and it felt very special.
Dinner that night was Semi-Formal, and everyone everywhere was really in the holiday spirit. I didn't miss the 15 people sitting in my dining room at home waiting for me to deliver the turkey to them one little bit!!
