They add stuff at the beginning of each sailing. Seems like they really need to get their act together on merch though. So many people would buy more if they actually had things in stock.
I was looking at photos of the grand hall on the Wish and thought it seemed under-decorated compared to what I'm used to on the Fantasy. Maybe they just aren't done yet? We sail the Fantasy on 12/10, hopefully they are as decorated as usual over there.
My thoughts exactly
There was a separate comment card for the Merrytime cruise, and I scored a few things as Poor, including the decorations. They were adding a few boughs of greenery in Marceline Market when we had lunch on embarkation day, but I think they are done.
We sailed on the Fantasy 11/6 for the Very Merrytime cruise, but as it was our first cruise I don't know what to base it on. It seemed decorated, and the gingerbread house went up halfway through our trip. They had hot cocoa and choc chip cookies out (I was disappointed it wasn't gingerbread). Otherwise, I felt there were very few holiday offerings. There were pictures with Santa , and of course pictures in the atrium in front of the tree, stairways, and gingerbread house. There was a holiday party one night, one reading Christmas stories with Mrs. Claus, and the characters met in Christmas outfits but it never said on the navigator when they would be wearing those outfits- and I really hoped Mickey and Minnie would meet together in them and I never saw it happen (unless it was unadvertised). We did a lot of crafts and there were no Christmas themed crafts. The only merch I remember seeing were the magnets and ears.
Are you able to tell me which seadays/nights the characters were wearing their christmas attire? I have quite a few christmas themed disney outfits and it would be a shame to wear them when the characters are in their sailors...
Did they do the gingerbread cookie decorating?
Didn't see that.
Wow. That’s pretty, but very underwhelming compared to a past gingerbread house when we sailed the Wonder in 2018
I hoping maybe the picture just doesn’t do it justice? Because otherwise that’s pretty lame.
Characters wore a variety of outfits. Christmas, Pirate, Formal, normal, etc. We just got off the Fantasy yesterday, and someone on board told us they were still trying to get all the decorations put up. What they had up was gorgeous, and the Gingerbread House was amazing, but definitely felt there could have been more overall.
Wow! That is huge and gorgeous! How does the Fantasy have THAT for a gingerbread house and the Wish had that tower?
I can't believe they haven't finished decorating yet. The Fantasy is so beautiful decorated.
