The Very Merrytime cruises are back for 2019 aboard the Disney Cruise Line! These special cruise sailings depart in November and December on all four ships and include themed holiday festivities, “snow flurries,” delicious food, decorative fanfare and more. The whole ship (and even Castaway Cay) are decorated with Christmas trees, garlands, poinsettias and lots of lights to truly help you get into the holiday spirit! If you are on the fence about taking a Very Merrytime cruise, let me give you three reasons that you should!
- Mickey and the gang, Santa Claus, Mrs, Claus, and “Frozen” friends are all on board and ready to celebrate with you at Mickey’s Winter Wonderland Ball! This festive celebration happens in the atrium featuring Broadway-quality entertainment.
- The holiday season is always crazy busy and stressful, but on board the ship you can relax, not have to worry about cleaning or cooking and focus on family time!
- No cold-weather gear needed as you’ll be on a tropical getaway! Leave the snow boots and jackets at home while you sail to fantastic tropical islands.
If those points don’t excite you for a Very Merrytime cruise, let’s dive into some of the awesome onboard festivities you can participate in.
- Mickey’s Tree Lighting Magic Ceremony: At this festive get-together, kids can help light the ship’s Christmas Tree in the ship’s atrium.
- Deck the Deck Tropical Holiday Party: On the pool deck, you’ll be able to dance, play games, and even try out some candy-cane limbo.
- Gingerbread House: This lifesize gingerbread house is made from all edible ingredients is amazing! Just make sure you don’t eat it as it is a photograph only experience.
- Santa Claus Meet-and-Greet: Skip the mall and see the jolly red man onboard the ship for pictures and hugs.
- Disney Character Greetings: Some of your favorite characters will be donned in their holiday attire for you to get one-of-a-kind pictures.
- Storytime with Mrs. Claus: All children can join Mrs. Claus in the atrium by the tree for Christmas stories.
- Themed Crafts and Activities: Holiday Scavenger hunts, decorating stockings, and creating festive cards are just a few of the things that kids can do onboard.
- Youth Parties: Teens and Tweens are invited to celebrate the holiday spirit with great music and dance parties.
- Holiday Merchandise: The ship’s stores will have exclusive, holiday-themed gifts and souvenirs that you don’t want to miss.
