What are the cruises that don't say "Very Merry Cruise" like in December?

We are booked on a "Very Merry Cruise" but our friends are booked on a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas in December 2017 that doesnt say "Very Merry Cruise". I thought all cruises in December are Christmas-themed. Do they not have Christmas decorations etc?

DCL doesn't designate which cruises will be Christmas (or Halloween, or Star Wars) themed until later (around 6-9 months out). Chances are any cruise after the beginning of November will be a VeryMerry Christmas cruise. Unless DCL feels it isn't bringing in the people.

I think she meant 6 TO 9 months.

Yep. Fixed it.

When we booked our Dec. 2016 cruise last year (about Thanksgiving time), it wasn't a designated Very Merrytime Cruise. It gained that "title" a few months back. I think you're safe in assuming it will be a Very Merrytime Cruise!

Just realized our November 5th cruise is a Very Merry Time cruise. It wasn't called that when we booked it. What differences should we expect from the regular cruises?

Christmas decorations, gingerbread house building, characters in christmas garb.
