2017 Christmas themed cruises?

[Meandnevaeh]

looking at cruise itineraries(first time considering cruise) for this year there seem to be Christmas and Halloween themed cruise dates inOct and Dec, I was thinking about early Dec 2017, and there aren't any listed as the Christmas theme, is it safe to assume that maybe the early Dec cruises will be converted to Christmas, or will they release new cruise itineraries I addition to the ones they are currently booking?

Typically the Christmas cruises begin early in November and run through the cruise that sails over New Year's Eve.

The itineraries that are posted now during that time will all be Christmas themed cruises.

For whatever reason Disney waits until the spring of the same year to change those cruises over to official "Very Merrytime Cruises". At least this is the experience of the last three years. I have no clue why they wait so long. I know that the same happens with the Halloween cruises and some people are really upset when they find out that there "plain" September cruise was turned into a Halloween cruise. I will say that with early December you have a 99.99% chance that this will be a Christmas themed cruise.
