Christmas decorations onboard?

[Melissa R]

We're in the planning stages of our first ever cruise (DCL or otherwise), and I'm assuming that the ship is decorated for Christmas. Does anyone know when those decorations go up? I'm wondering if the 11/30 cruise would be decorated already.

We were on the Wonder Nov 18 2007 and the ship was decorated for Christmas already. The CM on board said they start right after Halloween.

In 2006 we sailed on 11/11 and when we arrived the tree wasn't decorated but it was when we woke up the next morning. By the time we got off the ship the only thing I think was lacking was that the gingerbread house wasn't finished yet (but it was partially done). When we sailed on 12/3 all decorations were completed so you should be in full holiday swing.

We sailed last year in Nov. 25-30 and the ship was fully covered with Christmas decorations. I was so pretty. They had a tree lighting cermony and everything. Even the gingerbread house was up.

Thanks to all for your replies. We're actually considering a 11/17 departure now (after realizing that we already are going to be in Orlando for something else on 11/15-16), so it sounds like it's possible that even those dates we'd see the decorations. Is there anywhere that I can confirm this?
