You will need to get a ticket to this event. Check the navigator when you board as to where to pick up tickets. You will be given time slot to sign up based on your schedule. They usually have a couple of sessions (depending upon length of your cruise).On the Very Merry Time Cruises, when are the gingerbread house decorating sessions........1 specific day and time, or several days and times?
TIA for the info.
We were also on the 11/18 Wonder out of Galveston. We went to Port Adventures desk right after boarding. They said it was only offered the last day and she only had 8:45 available. Kind of early. That was the first session. I know they had one right after ours because they were shooing us out. 30 minutes total was not much time. Having it on the last day was a real waste. We did not get to enjoy it at all as you are not allowed to take it off the ship. If it were offered again only on the last day I would not bother. If it were earlier in the week I would do it again because it was fun and then we could enjoy it in our cabin all week. The gingerbread tasted like the kind you get in a kit, it did not taste like fresh baked nor did it smell like fresh baked.

Thanks so much for the report back - I board the Fantasy on Saturday and this is very helpful!I was on the 11/19 Fantasy and got our tickets at Port Adventures. I don't remember seeing it in the Navigator, but thanks to this board, I knew to check on the tickets ASAP. We were one of the first groups to board the ship, so I had our tickets by about 12:30pm. We were offered two time slots: around 8am and 10:00am on Thanksgiving morning - which was a day at sea. We chose the 10:00am slot. I don't know if they were offering any other days. They told us only one kit per family, even though we were in two staterooms.
We were given two bowls of candy (small hard candy balls and jelly candy), the gingerbread pieces and frosting. The frosting worked really well and held the sides together without any problems. I've made gingerbread houses at home before with the Wilton kits, and I always have to use canned vegetables to stabilize the sides.
Very fun - I would definitely do it again!
Yes, they have a few sessions but not a lot. Get your tickets as soon as you board. Last two Merry Time cruises we were on they had them at Guest Services.
