Difference between regular and Very Merrytime Cruises?

[Surgie2]

We booked a Very Merrytime 4-night cruise for November 2020. Will have grandkids ages 6 and 8 along.

What can we expect as far as special Christmas activities?

I'd suggest you look up the Navigators for past Very MerryTime cruises and see what sorts of activities they've offered in the past. Really, there are a lot of things happening, so would be difficult to mention them all.

Our favorite things were Gingerbread house decorating (I think this has changed to cookies), story time with Mrs Claus, and the Tree lighting. The ship is all decorated for Christmas and looks beautiful.

Cookie decorating!

Very Merrytime is SO much fun...lots of activities from making ornaments to decorating gingerbread cookies. Tree lighting ceremony in the atrium with the characters and Christmas carols, Winter Wonderland Ball with Santa, Mrs Claus and snow in the atrium. The ship is beautifully decorated with a huge tree and gingerbread house. Characters are decked out in their holiday finest. Families getting their photos taken in ugly Christmas sweaters and/or Christmas pajamas. It's a week long celebration (or in your case a 4 night celebration!)!

Also you can order special holiday decorations that will be in your room when you arrive - and also a special Christmas blanket and pillow to take home.

If you can, spend a day at WDW for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and another day at Epcot for the Candlelight Processional. The parks are also wonderfully decorated for Christmas.

The ship has several Christmas trees set up, and Castaway Cay is decorated for Christmas, too.

Actually the prices aren't that much more than regular cruises. The big price difference is only if you are on the ship Christmas day.
We do the Merrytime before the big price jump in late December.
The only holiday we were ever on the ship was for Halloween.
