MerryTime Cruise decorations question

[curcio]

I have an upcoming cruise booked November 14th, which I believe is the first Merrytime cruise of the year for the Dream. I have yet to see any holiday themed decorations,etc for purchase for my stateroom. Do you think they may still come available or not so soon in the holiday season?

Seems like that was a question last year. I think it was available closer to the season. Which is not that far off, now.

Yeah we did a similar cruise last year, but about three weeks later. I believe Merrytime decorations became available shortly after Labor Day. No such luck this year.

Here are the posts from last year when they could finally book. Oct 12, 2023.

I will say we did the Holiday decor in 2022 and it was so adorable and I have reused the banners as decor at home in 2022 and 2023.

Yep, should be about a month out from the first Merrytime sailings.

The room decor package includes more than it did years ago. I did this for my friends about 5 years ago and it was just the throw and pillow and it was also only about $65 lol. That said, has anyone purchased a room decor package that contained the "handy storage bin"? Looking to do if for a friend but wondering about the logistics of getting it home on a flight. Flight is same day as disembarkation so no time to find options for a place to ship from near port.

From mousesteps in a previous year’s offering:

“Disney says about the Season’s Greetings! Room Decor package: Anchors aweigh on a holly-jolly adventure at sea when you transform your stateroom into a festive wonderland. This merry room decor gift set includes a “Goofy on deck” bendable plush, a cozy holiday blanket with some of your favorite Disney pals, a Mickey Mouse-shaped pillow with a sewn-in advent calendar (includes a stick to mark the date), 2 felt ceiling banners with removable felt ornaments and a handy storage bin.”

There is no storage bin in the photos, but there is a collapsible basket (and that’s not listed in the description.)

Seems the term bin, as most of us used it for a hard box, may just be poor word choice. It could also have been the original intended item.

I would feel safe expecting nothing hard and bulky. And if so, could be left behind instead of taking the effort to ship home.

Thanks so much, I love that collapsible basket. Might have to get one for myself . Here’s hoping for a similar package this year.

As soon as you find out, once they’re available you, should buy it right away because I went on the cruise before Christmas and wasn’t able to get anything a month before hand.

Last year on our Nov cruise it was very last minute for when it became available. Mid Oct I want to say.

My cruise was a few weeks after yours and that stuff goes fast!

The holiday stateroom decorations were available today for our Merrytime cruise sailing out of Galveston. Looks like Ft. Lauderdale and Port Canaveral have the mini Christmas trees available, but no other decor yet. Keep watching - looks like it'll be added soon!
