Christmas Day cruising...

[HFC1969]

We have cruised before while the ships are decorated for the holidays but never on Christmas Day... Does anything extra special happen on the day itself.. I know we will be on the water heading south on Christmas Day...

Yes.

It's true magic.

Santa is in the lobby and give a present to everyone who comes by to say hello.

Many of the kids are dressed in their best princess and buzz lightyear outfits.

It is a great time.

On the 10 day this last Christmas, Santa was in the atrium and each child was allowed to sit on lap and then when they left, CM's had 3 different gifts for the kids. Three age levels 0-3 got a plush from the Brother Bear movie; 4-7 (I think) got stupid visors, and 7 and up got CD holders. I remember well, because my three grandchildren got the stuffed bear, my 4 year old granddaughter had fit about the visor, especially since the other 3 got the stuffed animals. She refused to take the visor and the CM's were not willing to give her the other. I had to go to Guest Services and talk to a supervisor and explain my dilemma and they went through the "we only ordered ...... for each age" and then after much talk the supervisor went and got me the plush for my granddaughter.

Besides that, Mrs. Claus read stories at nighttime on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Evening. The CM's had a time where they gathered in the atrium and sang carols, and the kid's club did the same thing. Great Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and the desserts were to die for.

In fact, I am dying for some more desserts right now as I type....but the great news is I get back on the ship in 4 days to spend the next 14 on the Magic headed to California!

Enjoy your Christmas cruise, we loved ours!

On X-mas Eve they do have a Midnight Mass. They also have a traditional dinner menu. The best way I can describe Christmas on the Magic was that during the day it was a tropical paradise and at night it was pure Disney Holiday Magic. You'll love it!
