Questions about Cruising in December

[Blythep]

I am planning our first Disney cruise for December 2005. Our boys ages 12 and 15 will be coming with us. We will spend 4 days at the World and then sail for 3 days. Are the cruises packed? Is the ocean choppy? Is it still warm enough for shorts during the day? I am kind of nervous bringing one teen and one almost teen on the cruise. We have to wait until after Christmas to go, do you know how long the decorations are up? Thanks for all your help, this is a great board.

Oh, one more question, since I haven't booked yet, do you know the best place to book cruises? Anyone use Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity etc???

We're cruising this December - the 3 day Wonder that sails on 12/16. I lived in Orlando a number of years ago and December is interesting - can be quite chilly but also can be shorts weather. As far as the Bahamas, I've heard it's usually warm, but not hot this time of year.

We booked our upcoming cruise through Dreams Unlimited. Great service and easy to make payments through their secure website.

I would like to know the answers to those questions as well. Also, is it warm enough to swim? I live in FL, but it is generally too cold to swim in Dec. Is this is same in the West Carib? TIA ArielsMommy
