We were on the Fantasy over Christmas 2018 and are going again this year. 4 kids 15-21 3 r boys. YES luved every minute of it.
For the most part it was the same as any other
DCL cruise, last year on Dec 25th it was a port day at Grand Caymen, we did an excursion.
The ship is decorated beautifully, there were some activities such as gingerbread cookie decorating, Mrs. Claus reading on xmas eve.
Xmas morning Santa was there and what looked like a nice spread of food. However, our kids being teenagers+ did not do any of this,
some movies may have been xmas themed. take a look at Scotts blog, all the Navigators are there for last yrs cruise.
We all enjoyed watching plenty of football, some of the games were shown outside on the pool decks funnel vision! If your kids enjoy football this is awesome at night. On port days we do excursions, on sea days it was the same as any other non-holiday sea day.
Being away over xmas was an enjoyable time for all of us, our dinner as a family every night, is the only requirement on the ship. Since 3 of ours are in college, it our captive time as family.
Looking forward to our cruise this year, xmas is at sea then 2 days at CC, favorite island!!!
Nothing to be sad about.
